They say that you just have to get in the playoffs and it’s like a whole new season.
The 2016 New York Giants started the regular season with plenty of questions. How would Ben McAdoo perform as a rookie head coach? Would their defense investments pay off? Unlike 2015, could the Giants finish and close out a game? Could they get the monkey off their back and win a week 1 game?
Over the course of the season they answered those questions, largely with positive answers. Going in to their first post-season game in five years, the first trip to week 18 for many players, the Giants have a whole new set of questions to answer.
