Are the Giants trying to tank? + Could B...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

The Giants are benching Daniel Jones, the quarterback they’d once seen as a franchise centerpiece. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel break down what got them to this point, and with the help of The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, contemplate whether head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen can survive what’s next. Dianna and Chase also run a heat check on the stories shaping this week’s NFL news cycle and start with whether the Jaguars are about to fire Doug Pederson - and whether Jacksonville could soon be a match for Bill Belichick. Plus, in the latest edition of “Chase is on the Case,” Daniel shares what he’s seeing from Justin Herbert and Bo Nix and why he thinks they’re dark horses for end-of-season awards. And they end the show dishing out Uncrustables for the things they thought were cool in Week 11.
