"New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has been dismissed following another late-game collapse, this time against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Giants squandered a double-digit advantage for the second time this season, losing 24-20 in Chicago after holding a 10-point lead with fewer than four minutes to play. They are now just the second team since the NFL merger to suffer such losses twice in one season, alongside the 2004 Seattle Seahawks."
"Offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Mike Kafka will assume interim coaching duties. Kafka, 37, has been viewed as one of the league's promising young minds and has previously interviewed for several head coaching positions. New York's 2-8 start continues a dismal trend for the franchise, marking the third consecutive year they've won only two of their first ten games. Since the beginning of the 2023 campaign, the Giants have gone just 11-33 overall."
"When asked after Sunday's defeat if he was concerned about his job security, Daboll replied, "I'm just focused on these guys in the locker room." The loss also saw rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart enter concussion protocol for the fourth time this year, including the pre-season. Dart, a first-round pick and one of Daboll's hand-picked selections, has tallied 17 total touchdowns through seven starts but continues to battle injuries."
