After a 2022 campaign that resulted in them making the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the 2023 season hasn’t been as promising for the New York Giants.

The Giants and their fans felt like their performance in 2022 was going to continue to be the norm, with head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones leading the way.

Well, New York currently has a 4-8 record this season, and before suffering a significant knee injury, Jones’ development as an NFL quarterback was not headed in the right direction.

Despite the signal-caller’s struggles earlier this year, Giants general manager Joe Schoen revealed on Monday that he still has confidence in Jones being the team’s starting quarterback when he returns from his knee injury in 2024 (via Giants Videos on Twitter).

In 2022, Jones finished with a career-high 92.5 passer rating after completing 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,205 yards, 15 touchdowns, and just five interceptions while also rushing for 708 yards and another seven scores.

Before his injury this season, the quarterback’s passer rating had dropped all the way to 70.5, he averaged almost 50 fewer passing yards per game than he did in 2022, he only threw two touchdowns compared to six interceptions, and he only had one rushing touchdown.

When the 2023 campaign comes to a conclusion in February, New York is probably going to have one of the top selections in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Will that pick end up being used on a young quarterback prospect, or will the Giants give Jones at least one more full season to prove that he can be the franchise’s long-term answer under center?

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
