2024 New York Giants season

The 2024 season was the New York Giants' 100th in the National Football League (NFL) and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen—the first time since Tom Coughlin was the head coach that a tandem lasted three or more seasons. The Giants failed to improve on their 6–11 record from 2023 following a Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints. This was the first season since 2017 without Saquon Barkley on the roster, as he signed a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason. A commemorative 100th anniversary patch was made for the season.

Following a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 12, the Giants suffered their seventh losing season in eight years. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season after a Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys, as well as the first team of the year to be eliminated. A loss to the Baltimore Ravens in week 15 locked the Giants into finishing last in the NFC East for the first time since 2021. Additionally, a loss to the Atlanta Falcons the following week gave the Giants their first 10-game losing streak in franchise history. Following a loss to the Eagles in week 18, the Giants were swept by all of their division rivals for the first time in franchise history. This season was plagued by poor quarterback play, numerous injuries to key players (particularly losing starting tackle Andrew Thomas to a Lisfranc injury), and poor pass protection similar to the previous season. Additionally, starting quarterback Daniel Jones was benched and eventually released mid-season due to his poor performance. The 14 losses were the most losses of any Giants season, surpassing 2017 and 2021. Their .176 winning percentage was their worst since 1974. Despite that, one of the few bright spots for the Giants was their Week 17 home win against the Indianapolis Colts, which prevented the Giants from going winless at home and eliminated the Colts from playoff contention.

Note: Intra-division opponents are in bold text.

The Giants had an atrocious start to the 2024 season. Graham Gano got the Giants on the board first after rookie cornerback Andru Phillips forced a fumble. From that point it was all Vikings. Adoree' Jackson was flagged for a controversial pass interference on a third and long, setting up the Vikings first touchdown. The Vikings went on a 99-yard drive capped by a Justin Jefferson touchdown to take a 14–3 halftime lead.

The second half wasn't much better for the Giants. The Vikings opened the third quarter with a touchdown drive to make it 21–3, then Daniel Jones threw a screen pass that Andrew Van Ginkel intercepted at the line of scrimmage and walked in for a touchdown. The Vikings won 28–6.

Jones struggled in his first start since his ACL tear 10 months prior and finished with a 44.3 passer rating. Linebacker Darius Muasau had an interception in his NFL debut.

Unlike the previous game, quarterback Daniel Jones excelled by throwing for 178 yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, and completed 57.1% of his passes to go with his 100 passer rating. Even then, he could not succeed at helping the Giants win. After kicker Graham Gano suffered an injury on the opening kickoff, the Giants became the first team since the 1989 Los Angeles Rams to lose a game after scoring three touchdowns and allowing none, and the first to do so in regulation. Except for the kneel down to end the first half, the Commanders ended all of their possessions with Austin Seibert field goals.

Malik Nabers scored his first NFL touchdown in the second quarter, but had a critical fourth-down drop late in the fourth quarter to give the Commanders the ball back, leading to the eventual game-winning kick by Seibert as time expired. Head coach Brian Daboll was heavily criticized for not signing a second kicker and undermanning the Giants for being unable to kick extra points and field goals that could have changed the outcome of the game.

Eric Gray fumbled the opening kickoff, and Deshaun Watson found Amari Cooper on the first play from scrimmage to give the Browns a 7–0 lead 11 seconds into the game. Staring down the possibility of an 0–3 start, the Giants found their composure and their pass rush got to Watson, sacking him eight times during the game.

On the Giants second drive Daniel Jones threw an interception that was negated by a roughing the passer penalty. After that play, the offense immediately got going and tied the game on a Devin Singletary 1-yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, Malik Nabers took over, snatching a deep ball from a defender, then capped the drive off with an acrobatic touchdown catch to give the Giants a 14–7 lead. On the Browns next drive, Brian Burns made his first impact play as a Giant, strip-sacking Watson with to give the Giants the ball back with 32 seconds left in the half. Nabers scored his second touchdown of the quarter 4 plays later, and the Giants went into the locker room with a 21–7 halftime lead to a stunned Browns crowd.

Singletary fumbled again on the Giants second half opening half drive, but the Browns couldn't capitalize on the field position. Safety Jason Pinnock sacked Watson on the next drive, and Dustin Hopkins missed the ensuing field goal attempt. The Giants offense stalled for the rest of the game, and the Browns took advantage of a short field on a fourth-quarter drive; Watson connected with Cooper for his second touchdown of the game, and Jerry Jeudy hauled in the two-point conversion to make the score 21–15 Giants. However, the Giants defense buckled down, forcing a fumble and two fourth-down stops on the Browns last third drives. Singletary had a lane to score at the end, but kneeled down at the 1-yard line to run out the clock. The Giants won 21–15 and improved to 1–2. Daniel Jones improved further from the previous two games, throwing for 236 yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, and completed 70.6% of his passes to go with his 109.4 passer rating.

The fans were treated to a penalty-filled game, with 11 being called on the Cowboys. On the Giants opening drive, while in field goal range, tight end Daniel Bellinger was inexplicably called for a facemask penalty while replay showed it was his facemask being grabbed. On the Cowboys first touchdown of the game, the referees picked up a holding penalty on tight end Jake Ferguson despite him grabbing a Giants defender, paving the lane for Rico Dowdle to score.

The Giants moved the ball well, but failed to get in the end zone, instead settling for five field goals, and lost an anticlimactic affair 20–15.

Malik Nabers, despite finishing for 12 receptions and 115 yards receiving, suffered a concussion late in the fourth quarter. Running back Devin Singletary also got hurt in the loss. Daniel Jones' performance was a drop off from his previous two, by throwing no touchdowns, an interception, and completed 72.5% of his passes to go with his 81.4 passer rating.

Before the game, wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Devin Singletary were ruled out of the contest. Running back Eric Gray got the starting nod and had 3 receptions on the opening drive, but fumbled on 4th-and-goal, which Seahawks safety Rayshawn Jenkins recovered in the end zone and returned it untouched for a 101-yard touchdown for Seattle. Gray thought he crossed the plane, but the ruling on the field was a fumble and stood upon review. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. stepped in and gave the Giants offense life in the second quarter. Daniel Jones found Wan'Dale Robinson on a 7-yard pass to tie the game at 7–7. Despite the Giants outgaining the Seahawks 220–90 at halftime, both teams were tied 10–10.

On the Seahawks opening drive of the third quarter, Deonte Banks stripped DK Metcalf in field goal range, and Jones immediately responded with two deep balls to Darius Slayton, the latter a 30-yard touchdown to take a 17–10 lead. In the fourth quarter and leading 20–13, Brian Burns sacked Geno Smith and the Giants took a two-score, 23–13 lead with time slipping in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks found rhythm on a late fourth quarter drive capped off with a Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown and then forced a three-and-out to get the ball back with 1:40 to play. On the first play of the drive, Smith ran for 32 yards to put the Seahawks in field goal range to tie the game. On the field goal attempt, Isaiah Simmons jumped over the A-gap without making contact with the long snapper, blocked the kick, and wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton recovered the ball and ran untouched for a Giants touchdown, sealing the 29–20 victory. This was the first time a Giants player scored a touchdown during a blocked field goal on special teams since Janoris Jenkins in 2016.

The Giants defense had 7 sacks of Smith, and their 22 sacks through 5 weeks were the most in the NFL. Tyrone Tracy finished with 129 rushing yards after taking over for Gray. Darius Slayton had 8 receptions for 122 receiving yards and a touchdown.

After the game, Brian Daboll revealed that Special Teams coach Michael Ghobrial drew up the blitz for the game-winning field goal block on Tuesday and waited until all game to use that play for the first time. Isaiah Simmons received the game ball and was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance.

Daniel Jones threw 257 yards, 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, and completed 67.6% of his passes to go with his 109.6 passer rating, his third triple-digit passer rating performance in four weeks.

However, this would turn out to be the final win for Daniel Jones as a Giant, as he was released during the team's bye week following their Week 10 loss to Carolina, in the midst of a franchise-worst 10-game losing streak for the Giants.

Despite the Bengals coming into the game with the 31st-ranked defense in the NFL, the Giants offense struggled mightily for much of the night. The only score in the first half came from a Joe Burrow 47-yard touchdown run on 3rd-and-18.

In the third quarter, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. managed to score his first career touchdown to tie the game at 7–7, which also happened to be the first touchdown the Giants had scored at home all season. However, the Giants missed more opportunities to score, which included two missed field goals by kicker Greg Joseph, the second of which sealed the game. Daniel Jones had his worst performance since Week 1 by throwing no touchdowns, an interception, and completed just 53.7% of his passes to go with his 57.5 passer rating.

The Giants recorded their first home loss to the Bengals.

In Saquon Barkley's first game against his former team, he made his presence felt. Despite a defensive battle through the first quarter and a half, with the first seven drives combined between both teams ending in punts, Barkley broke through with a 55-yard run to put the Eagles in the red zone. He then scored a 3-yard rushing touchdown to cap off the drive and put the Eagles up 7–0.

This proved to be more than enough to beat the Giants as they were held out of the end zone for the third time in four home games. At the end of the first half, Daniel Jones was able to connect with rookie tight end Theo Johnson for a touchdown, but it was nullified due to Johnson being penalized for offensive pass interference. The Giants then had to settle for a field goal and entered halftime trailing 14–3.

It didn't get any better in the second half as the Giants went three-and-out on three of their six offensive drives in the half. Daniel Jones was benched early in the fourth quarter for Drew Lock, who wasn't able to get anything going on offense either.

The Giants lost their fourth consecutive home game to start the season. Coincidentally, their last home win happened against the Eagles in week 18 of the prior season, which was Barkley's final game as a Giant.

In a penalty-ridden game for both teams, touchdowns were hard to come by until the third quarter, when Calvin Austin returned a punt 73 yards to the house for the Steelers. A total of three touchdowns were negated by penalties: two for the Steelers and one for the Giants. The Giants were penalized 11 times for 65 yards.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. scored the only Giants touchdown on a 45-yard run early in the fourth quarter. However, the ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed miserably as Nabers was hit immediately by Alex Highsmith while being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, as none of the Giants' blockers that were lined up in a swinging gate formation moved when the ball was snapped, allowing Highsmith to run through them and get to Nabers.

The Giants had two final chances to try to tie the game but turned the ball over both times. First, Daniel Jones was strip-sacked by T. J. Watt and then on their next drive, Jones threw an interception to rookie cornerback Beanie Bishop to officially seal the win for Pittsburgh.

The Giants lost their third consecutive game and fell to 2–6. For the seventh time in the last eight seasons, the Giants started 2–6 or worse in their first eight games.

On the Giants' second drive of the game, they managed to run the ball effectively against Washington. However, Daniel Jones fumbled while the Giants were in field goal range and Bobby Wagner recovered the ball, taking it deep into Giants territory. Initially it had been ruled an incomplete pass, but Washington challenged it successfully, overturning the call. Several plays after the turnover, Jayden Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin in the end zone to give Washington the lead.

Right after, the Giants went on a 16-play touchdown drive, which consumed nearly 10 minutes. Jones connected with tight end Chris Manhertz for a 2-yard touchdown to end the drive. This was the first passing touchdown for Daniel Jones at MetLife Stadium since Week 17 of the 2022 season. Even though the Giants managed to tie the game, the Commanders scored two more touchdowns before halftime, leading 21–7.

In the fourth quarter, Daniel Jones attempted to mount a comeback for the Giants, scoring his first rushing touchdown at MetLife since Week 17 in 2022 as well. He also managed to throw another touchdown to rookie tight end Theo Johnson for his first career touchdown. However, the Giants defense failed to stop the Commanders and get off the field on the next drive, officially ending the game.

This is the first time since the 2021 season that the Giants got swept by Washington, and only the third time since 2011. Additionally, this is the first time the Giants lost to all three divisional opponents at home in the same season since 2018.

Despite the loss, Daniel Jones had one of his best outings by throwing 2 touchdowns, no interceptions, and completed 76.9% of his passes to go with his 119.7 passer rating. Even then, he could not succeed at helping the Giants win.

NFL Germany games

The Giants traveled to Munich to play their first ever game in Germany, and fourth international game all time, dating back to 2007.

Daniel Jones turned the ball over in the red zone twice and got sacked on a flea-flicker play in which he had two wide-open receivers, in what proved to be his final start as a Giant.

Despite the miscues, the Giants managed to tie the game at 17–17 heading into overtime. Although the Giants won the coin toss, Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled on the first play from scrimmage, giving the Panthers the ball in field goal range. A few plays later, Eddy Piñeiro kicked the game-winning field goal to hand the Giants their fifth consecutive loss.

This was the first ever international loss for the Giants. Their previous three international games had all been in London, where they remain unbeaten.

Following the game, and during the team's bye week, Daniel Jones was benched in favor of Tommy DeVito. Drew Lock initially remained the second-string quarterback to his disappointment, but he ended up starting five of the seven remaining games in the season due to DeVito getting injured and performing ineffectively. Additionally, the Giants named Tim Boyle their third-string quarterback.

Shortly after, Daniel Jones was officially released, ending his tenure in New York. Through six seasons with the Giants, he finished with a career record of 24–44–1 as a starter, and a postseason record of 1–1.

The Giants played their first game without Daniel Jones starting, as he was released during their bye week. Tommy DeVito made his first start of the season, but the Giants couldn't get anything going on offense until garbage time in the fourth quarter, when Devin Singletary managed to score his first touchdown since Week 3. Tyrone Tracy Jr. fumbled again for the second straight game, this time a costly fumble in the red zone, which took more points off the board.

Defensively the Giants could not stop the Buccaneers at all, as they ran the ball with great ease all day. The Giants defense went their tenth consecutive game without recording an interception, having not gotten one since rookie linebacker Darius Muasau did during their Week 1 loss to the Vikings. This ties the 2017 Oakland Raiders for the longest streak in NFL regular season history without recording a defensive interception.

With the loss, the Giants not only failed to clinch the NFC East for the 13th year in a row, but they've also secured a 0–6 record at home for the first time since 1974.

Thanksgiving Day games

This game averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched Thanksgiving Day game on record as well as the fifth most-watched NFL regular season game on record, dating back to 1988.

Prior to the game, it was announced that Tommy DeVito had injured his forearm during the Buccaneers game, meaning Drew Lock got his first start as a Giant.

During the Giants opening drive, Drew Lock managed to escape the pocket during a blitz on 3rd-and-6 from the Dallas 29-yard line, breaking free and appearing to run all the way to the end zone for a touchdown. Upon review, it was determined that Lock had stepped out-of-bounds at the 1-yard line, but on the next play, Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran the ball in to put the Giants up 7–3. This marked the first time the Giants had held a lead during a game since Week 5 against Seattle. This was also the first time the Giants had scored a touchdown on their opening drive since Week 2 against Washington.

Despite the strong start, the Giants offense then struggled for most of the remaining game. On the first play of their second drive, Drew Lock threw a pick-six to Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, giving the Cowboys a 13–7 lead that they did not relinquish. Then on the opening drive of the second half, Lock fumbled, with Overshown recovering the ball. This gave Dallas great field position, and they capitalized, scoring their first offensive touchdown of the game to go up 20–10.

In the fourth quarter down 27–13, the Giants managed to put together a much-needed touchdown drive, with Drew Lock scoring on an 8-yard run, pulling the game to 27–20. The Giants had a chance to get the ball back and tie the game by stopping the Cowboys, but on 3rd-and-2 right after the two-minute warning, Cooper Rush connected with Brandin Cooks to pick up a first down, allowing the Cowboys to kneel down and end the game since the Giants were out of timeouts.

The Giants lost their seventh straight game to fall to 2–10 and lost their eighth straight to Dallas dating back to 2021, and it resulted in them being the first team eliminated from playoff contention.

The Giants defense also set an NFL regular season record by going their 11th straight game without recording an interception. Their lone interception on the season happened during their Week 1 loss to Minnesota.

After the loss, it was revealed that both Theo Johnson and Dexter Lawrence would miss the remainder of the season, suffering a Lisfranc foot injury and dislocated left elbow respectively.

Drew Lock started the game with eight consecutive incomplete passes, the first quarterback to do so since Cam Newton in 2017.

Even though the Giants defense managed to hold the Saints to 14 points, the Giants offense was very anemic until the fourth quarter. Down 14–3, the Giants went on a six-minute, 13-play drive, which was capped off by a Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushing touchdown. On the ensuing two-point conversion attempt, Malik Nabers was able to catch a tipped pass from Drew Lock and cross the plane, bringing the score to 14–11. This was the first successful two-point conversion attempt for the Giants all season, having been unsuccessful in their first six tries.

The Giants had a chance to score a field goal and tie the game to force overtime on their final drive, but Graham Gano's attempt was blocked, sealing their eighth straight loss (the team's longest losing streak since 2019), and falling to 2–11.

During the loss, the Giants recorded their first defensive interception since week 1, courtesy of cornerback Tre Hawkins III, although it was later announced that he had suffered a season-ending back injury in this game. This ended the longest streak in NFL regular season history at 11 games without an interception.

Before the game, around 11 a.m. ET, in response to the team's poor season, a plane flew over MetLife Stadium towing a banner that read "Mr. Mara, enough. Please fix this dumpster fire!"

Tommy DeVito was reinstated as the starting quarterback for this game after it was reported that Drew Lock had suffered a heel injury and was in a walking boot following the previous game. Lock was listed as the third-string emergency quarterback for this game. However, DeVito suffered a concussion right before halftime, meaning quarterback Tim Boyle made his first appearance as a Giant.

Despite getting great starting field position on their opening drive, the Ravens coughed up the ball on the second play from scrimmage with a Lamar Jackson fumble, and an Adoree' Jackson fumble recovery. However, the Giants offense failed to capitalize on the turnover, going three-and-out. After the two teams exchanged punts, Baltimore marched down the field, with tight end Mark Andrews scoring a touchdown to give the Ravens the lead. From that point on, the Ravens offense completely dominated the game.

In the second quarter, the Giants were able to manufacture a 13-play touchdown drive aided by numerous Baltimore penalties, including multiple penalties for pass interference. Devin Singletary capped off the drive with a touchdown to put the Giants on the board.

In the fourth quarter, on another penalty-ridden drive for the Baltimore defense, Tim Boyle connected with Malik Nabers on a 4th-and-3 from the 23-yard line to score the second Giants touchdown of the day, although the game was well out of reach at that point. This was the first touchdown for Nabers since Week 3, and his first career touchdown at MetLife Stadium. Furthermore, this was the first passing touchdown for the Giants since Week 9.

Despite benefiting from 12 accepted penalties against the Ravens, the Giants were blasted 35–14, losing their ninth straight game and falling to 0–8 at home.

For the second consecutive week, a plane flew over MetLife Stadium towing a banner. This time, the banner read, "Mr. Mara, enough. We won't stop until you fire everyone."

Drew Lock was renamed the starter for this game after missing the previous week with a heel injury.

Similar to the Thanksgiving game against Dallas, the Giants had a strong touchdown drive to take the lead early but quickly fell apart afterwards. Just like he did in the Thanksgiving game, Lock followed the touchdown drive by throwing a pick-six on the very next possession, this time to Jessie Bates, giving Atlanta the lead for good. From that point on, it was all Falcons, who scored 34 unanswered points in the first career start for rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Lock threw another pick-six on the opening drive of the second half, becoming the first Giants quarterback since Eli Manning in 2007 to throw multiple pick-sixes in a game.

The lone bright spot was Malik Nabers breaking the record of 91 receptions for a Giants rookie shared by Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley, finishing the game with 97 on the season.

With this loss, the Giants set a franchise record, losing 10 in a row for the first time in team history. The 13th loss in the season tied the 2017 and 2021 teams for the most losses in a single season. Furthermore, Brian Daboll became just the second Giants head coach to lose 13 games in a season, along with Joe Judge in 2021. (Ben McAdoo, who was the Giants' coach in 2017, only lost 10 games that year, as he was fired before the season ended). With the Raiders' win later that day, the Giants moved into the driver's seat for the first overall pick in the 2025 draft.

Facing the possibility of becoming the first team ever to lose nine home games in a season (since the NFL regular season was extended to 17 games in 2021), as well as finishing winless at home for the first time since 1974, the Giants had their best offensive game in years. Drew Lock had five total touchdowns, including two passing touchdowns to Malik Nabers, who became the first Giants rookie ever to record 100 receptions in a season, finishing the day with 104. Coincidentally, Nabers reached exactly 1,000 receiving yards on his first touchdown catch of the game. Tyrone Tracy Jr. also reached 1,000 scrimmage yards on the season during a 40-yard run on the same drive. Nabers and Tracy became just the third rookie duo in NFL history to each have 1,000 or more scrimmage yards in a season.

For the first time since Week 3 against Cleveland, the Giants entered halftime with the lead. On the opening kickoff of the second half, Ihmir Smith-Marsette returned the ball 100 yards to the house, becoming the first Giants kick returner to score a touchdown since Dwayne Harris in 2015. After both teams traded numerous touchdown drives in the second half, rookie cornerback Dru Phillips sealed the game with his first career interception late in the fourth quarter. Dane Belton intercepted a pass on the Colts' opening drive, making this the first and only game all season that the Giants defense recorded multiple interceptions. It was also their only home win in the 2024 season.

Despite the win, the Giants lost control of the first overall pick in the 2025 draft, holding the fourth overall pick at the end of the day.

The Giants scored their most points in a game since their famous 52–49 shootout loss to New Orleans in 2015 and scored more than 40 points at home for the first time since beating the Eagles 42–7 in week 17 of the 2012 season. Additionally, this was the first time the Giants scored 40 or more points in a game since the "Chase Young Bowl" against Washington in 2019, which also happened to be the last time a Giants quarterback had five total touchdowns (Daniel Jones). They improved to 3–13 and snapped a franchise record 10-game losing streak, while also eliminating the Colts from playoff contention. The Giants avoided finishing winless at home.

Drew Lock threw a career-high equaling four touchdown passes.

In the fourth quarter, Malik Nabers scored his seventh touchdown of the season on a 45-yard strike from Drew Lock, the only Giants touchdown of the day. Nabers set a new Giants franchise record for most receptions in a season, finishing with 109. The previous record was held by Steve Smith, who had 107 receptions in 2009. Furthermore, Nabers' 109 receptions set an NFL record for rookie wide receivers and is second all-time to rookie tight end Brock Bowers of the Raiders, who coincidentally reached 118 later that day. (Puka Nacua of the Rams had 105 receptions in 2023, which was the previous high for rookie wide receivers).

With the loss to the arch-rival Eagles, the Giants finished 3–14, their most losses in a single season. Thus, Brian Daboll became the first Giants head coach to lose 14 games in a season. The Giants also got swept by every team in their division for the first time in franchise history and were additionally handed their 12th straight road loss to Philadelphia. With the Patriots win and the Browns and Titans losing, the Giants locked in the third pick in the 2025 draft.

The next day, amid speculation that either one or both of them could be fired, owner John Mara announced that both Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen would be retained for the following season.
