The New York Giants are getting a head start on their offseason.
After another blown fourth-quarter lead on Sunday, the Giants have fired Brian Daboll midway through his fourth season with the team, according to multiple reports. Daboll went 9-7-1 and made the playoffs in his first season, but has since gone 11-35 as a head coach since the beginning of the 2023 season.

Why did Giants fire Brian Daboll?
Despite hope that the team could return to the playoffs, the Giants are 2-8 this year and one of three teams with eight losses. New York has had many opportunities to win games, but it's been a bad fourth-quarter team, blowing four double-digit leads on the road.
Additionally, quarterback Jaxson Dart is now in concussion protocol amid a slew of injuries.
