All that bad football and all those desultory afternoons and evenings of losing are resigned to history. The present is where it is at and the Giants are back in the playoffs for the first time sin…
There were so many moments in the past five years when the Giants seemed so far away from where the franchise wanted and needed to be. So very far away from respectability and nowhere near the vicinity of gaining admission to where best teams reside.
The Giants are in the postseason, locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC and will play on the road in the wild-card round of the playoffs against the third seed. This is heady stuff for the first-year regime of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, imports from the Buffalo Bills who have sprinkled the Giants with a winning formula.
Jones accounted for four touchdowns, passing to Richie James and Isaiah Hodgins and running for two more touchdowns. He completed 19 of 24 passes for 177 yards and ran 11 times for 91 yards, repeatedly befuddling the Colts and beating them to the edge with designed scrambles. Jones was taken out with 7:33 remaining to chants of “Daniel Jones … Daniel Jones.
The most appropriate and accurate word for all this is “improbable.’’ Even the most ardent supporter of this franchise did not anticipate such a turnaround so quickly. Even those familiar with general manager Joe Schoen’s career as an NFL executive would dare to state he would orchestrate a turnaround in one season.
