EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants fired coach Brian Daboll on Monday after the team blew another double-digit lead Sunday in Chicago.
It was the second time this season the Giants lost after leading by at least 10 points with under four minutes remaining. They became just the second team since the NFL merger to do that, joining the 2004 Seattle Seahawks.
"The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we have not met our expectations for this franchise," Giants co-owner John Mara and Steve Tisch said Monday in a joint statement. "We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product."

Brian Daboll’s run with the New York Giants came to an end on Monday as the team allowed another fourth-quarter comeback to doom them, resulting in their eighth loss of the season.
Multiple reports indicated that the team and Daboll parted ways, which is an abnormal move for an organization that usually likes to wait until the end of the season to decide on coaching changes. He’s the second head coach to be fired by the Giants in the middle of the year since Tom Coughlin left the franchise. The team fired Bob McAdoo before the 2017 season was over.

Mike Kafka will be the Giants’ interim head coach
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will take the reins for the remainder of the regular season.
Multiple reports say that Kafka will be named the interim head coach for the 2-8 club. It will be his first time in a head coaching role.
Kafka played quarterback at Northwestern and appeared in four games for the Eagles during the 2011 season. He remained active as a player through 2015 and joined Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City in 2017. He spent four seasons as the Chiefs’ quarterbacks coach before joining Daboll’s staff in 2022.
