The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys faced off on Thanksgiving, the second divisional matchup of the day. Earlier in the day, the Detroit Lions took down the Chicago Bears in an NFC North clash, an exciting game to kick off the festivities.

That 2017 season was the second and final year for coach Ben McAdoo, who got fired at 2-10. The Giants were on the brink of finishing 2-14, but they won their finale. The 2019 season was the second and final year for coach Pat Shurmur, who made it all the way through the season.

A Giants fan from the day he was born, the losing eats at John Mara just as it eats at his fan base, and only reminds him of the soul-sapping wilderness years before GM George Young showed up and changed everything.

The New York Giants (2-9) are hard to watch these days. From top to bottom, they seem like a rudderless franchise with no known direction. No one is happy right now and almost every decision the team makes seems to backfire on them in an almost comical fashion.
