So many teams would’ve crumbled before this point. A third quarterback making a start in a season by Week 7? The best of those three out for the season with a significant knee injury? The best defender out, too, with a torn ACL? A committee of four running backs — now down to three — who haven’t mustered anything more than the 19th-best rushing total per game?
So many teams, and so many past versions of the Giants, would’ve entered Sunday’s game against the Texans with a record far worse than 3-2-1.
But not this one.
Just when it seems like everything is lost with the direction and trajectory of the franchise, they keep finding another spark to pull everyone right back in. It started in January, when the Giants hired John Harbaugh.
