The New York Giants are enduring one of their most challenging seasons yet, and Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was another painful chapter. Coming off a week filled with controversy after benching quarterback Daniel Jones, the team’s performance showed little promise as they fell to their sixth consecutive defeat.

The Giants’ offense struggled to find any rhythm, managing just one late-game touchdown when the outcome was already decided. Quarterback Tommy DeVito threw for 189 yards but couldn’t lead the team to meaningful scoring drives. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield had no such trouble, orchestrating an offensive showcase that piled up 450 total yards. The Bucs’ running backs dominated, with all three finding the end zone.

Morale seems to be sinking lower with each passing week, and Sunday’s performance did little to inspire hope. After the blowout, reporters asked Giants owner John Mara for his thoughts on the state of the team. Rather than addressing the question directly, Mara sidestepped it, offering a simple and festive remark:
“Happy Thanksgiving,” he said while heading toward the locker room, as reported by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.

The Giants are set to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With both teams combining for just six wins through Week 12, excitement for the holiday matchup is minimal. As the Giants continue their search for answers, fans are left wondering if there’s any light at the end of this dark tunnel.
