For the second straight season, the Giants found a way to win a late December game after fans had already started dreaming about owning the first overall selection. Last year it was the Colts. This year, it was the Raiders. Different opponent, same result, and the same frustration for fans watching the draft board shift in real time.

Players Never Tank, Even If Fans Want Them To

This game was another reminder that players simply do not tank. Fans can debate draft position all they want, but once those players step on the field, pride takes over. Careers, contracts, and reputations are always on the line.

If there was a team that looked like it might be thinking about the future, it was the Raiders. Whether you want to call it tanking or just a lack of talent, the end result was the same. At 2 and 14, they now sit as the worst team in football. The Giants took full advantage, and honestly, that is exactly what they should have done.

Confidence Matters for a Rookie Quarterback

Jaxson Dart looked like himself again, and that was one of the biggest takeaways from the afternoon. He was once again playing loose, confident, and aggressive. Over the last month its been difficult for him, glad to see today’s game.

Yes, it came against a bad Raiders defense. That matters. Still, Dart needed this kind of game. He needed to make throws, move the offense, and feel good walking off the field. Confidence is everything for a rookie quarterback, and this performance helped reset things heading into the final week.

This was not about crowning him as the long term answer. It was about stopping the slide and getting him back on track.

Tough Decisions Are Coming at Wide Receiver

Wan’Dale Robinson continues to show why he is going to get paid in free agency. He does the little things well, gets open consistently, and competes every snap. If it were up to me, I would keep Wan’Dale and let Darius Slayton walk.

That might not be a popular opinion, but Robinson brings more versatility and reliability to this offense. He has earned his spot, and this season has made that clear.

Brian Burns Is Playing at an Elite Level

Brian Burns has been outstanding all season. His impact shows up every week, even when teams try to game plan around him. If Myles Garrett were not having the year he is having, Burns would have a very real case for Defensive Player of the Year.

The Giants finally have a true game changer on the edge, and it shows every time he lines up.

Abdul Carter Is Taking the Next Step

Abdul Carter continues to prove that he takes football seriously. His growth has been steady, and the production is starting to match the effort. You can see it on tape. He is more decisive, more physical, and more involved in every phase.

This is exactly the type of progression you want to see from a young defender.

Ben Sauls Deserves a Real Look

Ben Sauls has been solid in his two games with the Giants, and he deserves a chance to compete for the kicker job in 2026. He has done his job, and that is not something this team has been able to say consistently at that position.

Mike Kafka Gets One in the Win Column

Mike Kafka finally gets his first coaching win. It might not change the big picture, but it matters. Going winless as an interim head coach sticks with you. At least now, that will not be part of his story.

The post Giants Win Again and Shake Up the Draft Picture first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

A Rough Day for Jaxson Dart

This was easily the toughest start of Jaxson Dart’s young career. From the opening drive, he looked uncomfortable. The rhythm never came. Pressure showed up early, and it stayed consistent throughout the game. The pocket collapsed far too often, forcing Dart to rush throws and abandon reads. That is not a recipe for success for any quarterback, especially a rookie still learning NFL speed.

No, the Giants are not moving on from Dart

Let’s clear this up immediately. The Giants are not going to move away from Jaxson Dart because of one rough outing. Rookie quarterbacks struggle. That is part of the process. Growth is rarely linear, and setbacks are expected. The organization cannot afford to panic again at the most important position on the field. Dart needs time, coaching, and protection before any real evaluation can be made.

Offensive Line Issues Resurface Again

The offensive line had a rough day, especially in pass protection. Injuries played a major role. At one point, the Giants were missing three starters, and they lost two more during the game. That level of attrition is hard to overcome, but depth matters in the NFL. The Vikings consistently won at the line of scrimmage, and it completely disrupted the offense when it mattered most. Until this unit stabilizes, no quarterback will truly have a chance to succeed.

Darius Slayton Lets Another One Get Away

Late in the game, with momentum hanging in the balance, Darius Slayton dropped another crucial pass. Unfortunately, I write this every week. At $12 million per season, expectations are higher. Production should match the contract. Right now, it does not. That decision falls on Joe Schoen, and it deserves scrutiny. These are the types of plays that separate winning teams from teams stuck near the bottom of the standings.

Defensive Bright Spots in a Lost Season

In a season filled with frustration, Brian Burns continues to be a bright spot. He added two more sacks and forced a fumble, pushing his season total to 15. Burns shows up every week, plays with urgency, and finishes plays. Even when everything else feels broken, his effort never wavers.

Abdul Carter Is Turning the Corner

Abdul Carter recorded his third straight sack, which is encouraging. Yes, the offsides penalty cannot happen, but the overall trajectory is positive. He looks more engaged and more locked in. Late-season development still matters, and Carter trending upward is something worth noting.

Kicker Competition Might Be Real

One quiet positive came from Ben Sauls, who delivered a solid debut. Two field goals. One extra point. No mistakes. That performance earns him another look next week. At this stage, consistency is key, and Sauls did his job without creating added stress.

Mike Kafka Is Running Out of Answers

Mike Kafka is now 0-5 as the Giants interim head coach. The effort is there, but the results are not. The team still struggles with situational football, discipline, and execution. Right now, it does not look like a long-term solution. The Giants need direction and accountability, and those elements are still missing.

Eyes on the 2026 NFL Draft

At 2-13, the Giants are firmly in the race for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. That is the reality, whether anyone likes it or not. Every remaining game now impacts draft position more than standings. The margin for error is gone, and the front office must get this next decision right.

There are pieces here that can matter long term, including Burns, Carter, and Dart. But until the basics improve and mistakes stop defining games, the results will not change.

Another week passed. Another loss added. And another reminder that the Giants still have a long road ahead.

BleedBigBlue.com burst onto the scene after a fiery rant about PSLs and ticket prices went viral. We’re your go-to New York Giants blog—still calling it like we see it.. 💥

The post Brian Burns Autograph Signing 11/11/25 first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The New York Giants dropped to 2-7 after falling 34-24 to the 49ers, and while the offense showed some fight, the story of this game once again centers on a defense that cannot get stops. It was another long afternoon of missed tackles, blown assignments, and zero rhythm on that side of the ball. Let’s break it all down.

The Run Defense Is Becoming a Weekly Problem

San Francisco controlled the game at the line of scrimmage. The Giants gave up 159 rushing yards and never looked close to slowing Christian McCaffrey, who piled up 106 on his own. Every time he touched the ball he found space, either slipping through tackles or catching the Giants out of position. When the other team owns the run game like that, everything else becomes an uphill battle.

The Shane Bowen Situation Is Officially a Crisis

There is no avoiding the truth. The defense has now surrendered more than 30 points in three straight games. What was hyped as a potential top ten unit in August looks unprepared and poorly coordinated in November. The issues are not isolated. They show up in coverage, in the pass rush, in tackling, and in situational football. At this point it is difficult to justify keeping Shane Bowen in charge of this group. The results are not improving and the same mistakes are repeating.

A Few Standouts, but Not Enough to Matter

If there is one player who continues to bring energy every week, it is Brian Burns. He added another sack and forced a fumble, showing once again that he is one of the most explosive defenders on the roster. His production keeps stacking, even though the defense around him continues to flounder.

Dexter Lawrence had a quieter day, which does not help the conversation after his recent comments about respect. The Giants needed a dominant performance up front and did not get it.

Deonte Banks had a rough outing as well. He struggled in space and took a poor angle on the touchdown run where he bounced off the ball carrier. With so many injuries at corner, Banks is being pushed into more snaps than he may be ready for, and the inconsistencies are showing.

Jaxson Dart Continues to Compete

On the positive side, Jaxson Dart continues to fight through adversity. The rookie quarterback tossed three touchdowns and did everything he could to keep the offense alive. He is playing without several key weapons and still manages to create plays and push the ball downfield. You can see his confidence growing even in tough situations.

Theo Johnson needs to clean up the drops. The talent is obvious, but the Giants cannot afford missed opportunities when the receiving group is already depleted.

The Offensive Line Missed Eluemunor

With Jermaine Eluemunor unavailable, Marcus Mbow stepped in and had a difficult day. He is still learning and adjusting to the speed of NFL pass rushers. His struggles showed how valuable Eluemunor has been on the right side. Until everyone is healthy again, the line will continue to be a week-to-week challenge.

Injuries Continue to Shape the Season

The Giants are getting hit everywhere. Wide receiver, linebacker, corner, offensive line. It feels like every position group has been hit with multiple losses. At this rate the team might be pulling people out of Wawa to fill roles. You can only shuffle the deck so many times before it catches up with you.

Graham Gano also missed his first field goal of the year. That miss took the air out of a promising early drive and hurt the Giants’ momentum.

What Comes Next For Big Blue?

With a 2-7 record, reality is setting in. Fans are already eyeing draft positioning and trying to figure out where this season is heading. The trade deadline arrives Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST, and now the question becomes whether Joe Schoen shakes things up or stays quiet.

Either way, the next few days will tell us a lot about the direction the front office wants to take for the rest of the year.

The post Giants Overpowered by 49ers in Another Hard Loss first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The New York Giants fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-20, in a game that was tough to watch on every level. Losing to anyone hurts, but losing to the Eagles? That’s the one that stings the most. Anyone but Philly.

To make matters worse, the Giants lost rookie running back Cam Skattebo, who has been one of the most exciting players on the roster. He brought energy, toughness, and life to the offense every week. Sundays just won’t feel the same without him. Here’s hoping for a quick recovery, because he’s exactly the kind of player this team needs.

Dart Keeps Battling Through the Chaos

Even with the loss, Jaxson Dart added two more touchdowns to his rookie season. He didn’t have his best game, but he kept fighting through constant pressure and took some big hits along the way. Dart has heart, and that’s clear every week.

I’m not too worried about wins and losses right now. I just want to see Dart slay the competition and keep developing into the franchise quarterback this team has been missing. The problem is, he has no real weapons. With Malik Nabersout for the season, there isn’t a single receiver defenses fear. I’m hesitant about trading future picks, but honestly, our draft picks haven’t been panning out anyway, so maybe it’s time to take a calculated swing.

Defense and Coaching Continue to Disappoint

The Giants’ run defense was a complete disaster. Philadelphia ran for 276 yards, including 150 from Saquon Barkley. Every run felt like déjà vu — missed tackles, soft edges, no gap control. It was painful to watch.

The most frustrating part came when the Giants had 2nd and 31 after a sack, only to allow a first down on the next play. That sequence sums up the season. It’s absolutely inexcusable.

It genuinely puzzles me that Shane Bowen is still the defensive coordinator. We all saw how this was going to go when Brian Daboll had to look up Bowen’s Titans stats on camera during the offseason. That clip said it all. Nothing about this defense looks organized or disciplined.

Secondary Falls Apart

Injuries have completely gutted the secondary. It got even worse when Cor’Dale Flott left with a concussion. Every week it feels like someone else goes down, and it’s getting impossible to evaluate anyone in that unit.

Officiating, Again, Adds to the Frustration

The referees were brutal. Missed calls all game, including yet another controversial Tush Push that looked like a Jalen Hurts fumble. Even Michael Strahan called it out after the game, saying the refs had one of their worst performances of the season. Games like this make the league’s obsession with that play even harder to defend.

Small Bright Spots in a Rough Afternoon

Amid the chaos, Brian Burns continues to be a monster. He added to his sack total, now sitting at 10 on the season, and is quietly building a Defensive Player of the Year case. Meanwhile, Graham Gano remains perfect on field goals and extra points, proving once again that when he’s healthy, he’s one of the league’s best kickers.

Giants Slipping Toward Draft Watch

The Giants haven’t won in Philadelphia since 2013, that’s 13 straight losses. It’s a painful streak that just won’t end. At 2-6, the focus shifts again to player development and the draft board.

This season might not be about wins and losses anymore. It’s about finding out if Dart truly is the guy, fixing a broken defense, and finally surrounding him with real talent. Because Giants fans deserve better than watching this team get beaten down in Philly every year.

The post Giants Beaten Down by Eagles in Painful Loss first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

What just happened in Denver? The New York Giants went from up 19-0 to giving up 33 points in the fourth quarter. That kind of collapse is unacceptable. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen should be on the hot seat after this one. It’s now the second time this season the Giants had a lead late in the fourth quarter and still managed to lose. This one might sting the most because it felt like they finally had the game in hand.

Defensively, it was chaos. Missed tackles, blown assignments, and zero discipline in crunch time. That all falls back on Bowen’s defense. It doesn’t matter how much talent you have on the field if you can’t execute when it counts.

Jaxson Dart Deserved Better

We should have been talking about Jaxson Dart’s breakout moment — a four-touchdown performance that should have included a game-winner with under a minute left. Instead, we’re left shaking our heads after the defense gave the game away. Dart continues to show flashes of being the future franchise quarterback. His arm talent, decision-making, and grit under pressure have all been impressive.

If the defense could simply close out a game, we’d be celebrating Dart’s leadership and poise instead of reliving another painful loss.

Cam Skattebo Keeps Impressing

Rookie running back Cam Skattebo continues to shine. He finished with nearly 100 total yards of offense — 60 on the ground and 34 through the air — plus a touchdown catch. Skattebo runs angry and brings the kind of energy that lifts the entire offense. Each week, he’s proving that his physicality and versatility make him a key piece for the future.

Tight Ends Step Up Big

Without a true No. 1 wide receiver, the Giants leaned heavily on their tight ends, and it paid off. Theo Johnson and Daniel Bellinger combined for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Bellinger looked like the player we saw back in 2022 before his injury — a steady target who can move the chains and make clutch catches.

That production from the tight ends kept the offense balanced and gave Dart the outlets he needed against a tough Denver defense.

Defensive Bright Spots

Not everything on defense was awful. Brian Burns continues his monster season with two more sacks, bringing his total to nine. He’s been everything the Giants hoped for when they traded for him. Dane Belton also filled in nicely for Jevon Holland and played with solid awareness in coverage.

But that’s where the good news ends. Deonte Banks has struggled all year, and at this point, it might be time to explore a trade. The tackling overall was atrocious, and that kind of sloppy play is what fuels these fourth-quarter collapses.

Kicking Woes Continue

Jude McAtamney’s inconsistency has become a real issue. You can’t have a kicker that leaves points on the board or shakes your confidence in crunch time. Whether it’s bringing in a proven veteran like Younghoe Koo or exploring other options, the Giants need to address this immediately.

Still Fighting, But Not Finishing

The Giants should have left Denver at 3-4. Realistically, if not for their defense collapsing late in two games, they could be sitting at 4-3. Instead, they’re now searching for answers and a way to rebound.

This loss feels worse than the Week 2 defeat to the Cowboys. It’s one thing to lose to a better team — it’s another to hand a game away after dominating for three quarters.

To their credit, the Giants are still fighting and playing meaningful football. That’s progress, even if it’s not the kind we want to see. Fans want wins, but there’s something to be said for a young team that refuses to quit.

Looking Ahead to Philadelphia

The Giants went from dominating the defending champions just 10 days ago to blowing a game they had in control. That kind of inconsistency is maddening. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that they get another shot at redemption next week against the Eagles.

They need to take this loss personally and come out swinging. Channel that frustration, fix the defensive mistakes, and make a statement. Otherwise, another late-game collapse could quickly send this season spiraling.

Final Thoughts

This one hurts — badly. The Giants had it. They played well enough to win but let it slip through their fingers. Now it’s about how they respond.

They have the talent. They have the quarterback. They just need to learn how to finish.

Matter What!

Even through the ups and downs, we bleed blue.

It’s the hottest gear in the building right now, and the perfect way to show your faith in Big Blue’s future.

The post Giants Collapse Late in Painful 33-32 Loss to Broncos first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

It’s been a long time since Giants fans could smile after a Thursday night game — ten long years, to be exact. But this one felt different. The Giants didn’t just win; they made a statement. Beating the defending NFC champs wasn’t about luck. It was about finally seeing the promise of this young roster come to life.

The 34–17 victory over the Eagles showed direction, confidence, and fight. For the first time in a while, the Giants looked like a team that believed in itself. You could feel it from the opening kickoff — there was energy, urgency, and attitude.

Jaxson Dart Is the Future

I’m convinced Jaxson Dart is the future franchise quarterback of the New York Giants. On Thursday night, he put together his best performance yet. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown and added 58 yards and another score on the ground.

Dart displayed everything you want to see — arm talent, mobility, and playmaking ability. That first-quarter touchdown run set the tone for the entire night. He broke containment, saw daylight, and took off. It wasn’t just athleticism; it was instinct and confidence rolled into one.

Still Taking Too Many Hits

My only concern? He’s taking too many hits. Dart’s toughness is impressive, but I don’t want to see that become a habit. Protecting him has to be priority number one. You can’t build a franchise if your quarterback is constantly picking himself off the turf. Still, it’s clear — the kid’s got “it.” He’s playing with poise and control that’s rare for a rookie.

Cam Skattebo Sets the Tone

Cam Skattebo continues to prove that he belongs in this league. The rookie running back carried the offense with 98 rushing yards and three touchdowns. His 5.2 yards per carry speak volumes about his consistency and drive.

A Spark the Giants Needed

Cam runs like every play might be his last, hard, fearless, and with purpose. He hits the hole, lowers his shoulder, and never backs down from contact. That kind of effort energizes the offense and sets a tone that the rest of the team follows. Since Saquon Barkley’s departure, this offense has been searching for a heartbeat. Cam might just be that pulse.

Playmakers Stepping Up

With multiple injuries at wide receiver, the Giants needed others to rise up, and they did. Wan’Dale Robinson led the charge with six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Lil’Jordan Humphrey, who was on the practice squad last week added four receptions for 55 yards.

Both players made timely catches that kept drives alive. It wasn’t flashy, but it was effective. When you can count on your depth guys to perform, that’s when you know the locker room is buying in.

The Defense Found Its Groove But Has More to Give

The defense finally looked like the Giants defense we’ve all been waiting for. Brian Burns set the tone up front with two sacks and constant pressure. The unit played disciplined, kept everything in front of them, and made life uncomfortable for the Eagles’ offense all night.

Time to Turn the Dial Up

As well as they played, I still think they can reach another level. I want to see this defense take over games, not just manage them. They have the talent to dominate every week it’s time to crank the dial.

One thing that stood out? I didn’t hear Deonte Banks’ name all game. I don’t think he saw many snaps, and at this point, it feels like Cor’Dale Flott’s spot to lose. The rotation has changed, and it’s going to be something to watch heading into Denver.

Building on the Momentum

This win wasn’t just a victory it was a breath of fresh air. The Giants snapped a decade-long Thursday night drought and reminded fans that there’s still plenty to believe in.

You can feel a shift. The energy in the building, the belief in the locker room, and the confidence in the young talent all point toward a team finding its rhythm.

The Giants now head to Denver on October 19 with a chance to keep that momentum rolling. If Dart keeps developing, Cam keeps grinding, and the defense keeps tightening the screws, this could be the turning point fans have been waiting for.

Rep the Team, No Matter What!

The post Giants Show Heart and Fire in Prime Time Breakthrough first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Jaxson Dart was not supposed to be on the field this early. The plan was patience, a year of watching and learning. Most believed throwing him into action too soon would hurt his growth and sink the Giants’ offense.

But Coach Brian Daboll had other ideas. He trusted his rookie quarterback enough to start him against the undefeated Chargers. With the Giants desperate for a spark, Dart was given the chance to lead. And he delivered.

The Game-Changing Performance

The Giants offense had looked flat in two of their three losses. Against Los Angeles, Dart gave it a pulse. He brought energy, toughness, and playmaking ability that made the team believe.

Yes, the defense deserves credit. The pass rush came alive with 20 pressures. Abdul Carter racked up five quarterback hits, and Brian Burns’ late sack closed the door. Still, it was Dart who changed the tone. He gave the Giants something they had not felt in weeks: life.

Toughness on Full Display

Dart took heavy punishment from a physical Chargers defense. He even tweaked his hamstring, but he never wavered. Each time he was hit, he got back up and kept fighting.

On the Giants’ opening drive, he ripped through the middle for a 15-yard touchdown run. The MetLife crowd erupted, louder than it had been in years. That moment set the tone for the night.

Key Plays in the Clutch

Dart showed he could handle pressure situations. In the fourth quarter, he connected with tight end Theo Johnson on a short pass to seal the win with a first down. Earlier, he found Johnson again on a shovel pass for a touchdown.

The Giants’ offense looked different. It was quicker, fresher, and more dynamic. Dart used short throws, designed runs, and kept the Chargers defense guessing. Receivers like Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Johnson all stepped up to make plays.

The Bigger Picture

The night wasn’t without heartbreak. Malik Nabers went down with a serious injury, one that will cast a shadow on the rest of the season. Losing a player of his caliber hurts.

But what the Giants gained in this game cannot be overlooked. They may have found the quarterback of the future. Dart looks like the type of player a franchise can build around.

Final Thoughts

Everything you wanted to see in a first start was there. Dart’s toughness, his confidence, his ability to make plays when it mattered. Most importantly, his first start brought his first win — and the Giants’ first win of 2025.

Giants fans came to MetLife with questions and concerns. They left with hope. They left believing that Jackson Dart might just be the answer.

The post Giants Find New Juice with Rookie QB Jaxson Dart first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

This game was tough to break down. Writing about these losses is getting more difficult as the season drags on. The 20-17 overtime loss to the Panthers highlights the ongoing struggles for the New York Giants. This article is late, let’s blame low enthusiasm..

Offensive Woes Continue

Daniel Jones may have played his final game as the Giants’ starting quarterback. Against the NFL’s worst defense, Jones struggled for most of the game. His performance raises questions about his future, and Brian Daboll might make a change soon.

Despite his poor showing, Jones showed some life in the final drive of regulation. He made solid throws and pushed the ball downfield without timeouts, forcing overtime.

Tyrone Tracy delivered another solid game but will likely be remembered for his costly overtime fumble. That mistake ultimately sealed the Giants’ fate.

Jalin Hyatt finally saw more action, catching four passes for 39 yards after being barely used all season. It’s a positive sign for the rookie’s development.

Evan Neal returned to the field for the first time since 2023. The right tackle looked decent, potentially earning a starting role after the bye week.

Defensive Struggles

The pass rush only managed one sack on Bryce Young, recorded by former Panther Brian Burns. Burns now has six sacks on the season but still hasn’t become the dominant force the Giants need.

Special Teams and Looking Ahead

Graham Gano bounced back after a rough start, nailing a clutch kick to send the game to overtime. His reliability could be a bright spot in an otherwise dim season.

At 2-8, the Giants sit at the bottom of the NFL standings. For now, they hold the first or second pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With the bye week ahead, fans are left wondering: Can this team win another game this season?

Offense Breakdown

The New York Giants’ offense couldn’t find its rhythm in a disappointing 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Their total rushing yards added up to just 76, far below expectations, especially with former Giant Saquon Barkley dominating their defense.

Offensive Line Issues

The Giants’ offensive line held up decently for the first six weeks of the season. However, Andrew Thomas’ injury exposed major weaknesses. Joshua Ezeudu’s performance at left tackle was a significant problem, making it clear he isn’t the answer.

Daniel Jones and QB Concerns

Daniel Jones didn’t have much support, but he also struggled to respond to Philadelphia’s defense. His streak without a touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium continues—now four games into 2024 without a single passing touchdown at home. The streak stretches back to Week 17 of last season.

Drew Lock, who took snaps later, didn’t offer much of a spark. It’s unclear if Brian Daboll will start Lock next week against the Steelers. However, Lock’s uninspiring play gives little reason to believe he’s the solution.

Limited Impact from Malik Nabers

Malik Nabers was active but quiet. After a promising start to the season, he failed to register a catch in the second half, limiting his impact in a critical game.

Defensive Standouts and Setbacks

Dexter Lawrence continues to make his case for Defensive Player of the Year. Despite the team’s struggles, Lawrence has been dominant in 2024. The defense managed five sacks on Jalen Hurts, but the Eagles still racked up 269 rushing yards.

Saquon Barkley had a revenge game for the ages, torching the Giants with 176 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 187 all-purpose yards. The Giants couldn’t contain him throughout the game.

Special Teams and Outlook

Special teams didn’t have much to contribute. With only one field goal made by backup specialists, they couldn’t shift momentum.

At 2-5, the Giants are inching closer to another top draft pick. A win would’ve given them a glimmer of hope, but the lack of offensive production makes it hard to believe this team will turn things around in 2024.
