The Giants got a desperately-needed win in Denver, but the team isn’t fixed and it’s unlikely they’ll turn the season around. The running game looked good, but the receiving corps is depleted. Despite changes to the offensive line and play calling duties, it will be difficult to maintain the same success they had Sunday night. We also discuss what came out of the owners meeting and look ahead to the Seahawks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
