When Giants co-owner John Mara addressed the media during training camp to discuss the Giants’ 2021 season, he did so with cautious optimism that things finally would take a turn for the better, that his team would begin making tangible progress toward a playoff berth and, eventually, another Super Bowl championship.

"I want to see us make progress and become a winning team again," he said in August, standing a few feet from the practice field.
