NFL schedule: Giants open at home against Tom Coughlin’s Jaguars, Jets play at Detroit on Monday Night Football

The Pat Shurmur Era for the Giants will begin against former coach Tom Coughlin and the Jaguars on Sept. 9, the NFL announced Thursday night.

Coughlin, who led the Giants to a pair of Super Bowl titles, is now an executive with the Jaguars and in his first year with the team last season helped lead them to a surprising run to the AFC Championship Game.

Shurmur’s Giants will open the season at MetLife Stadium for the first time since 2012. The Giants last opened the season against someone other than the Cowboys when they were in Detroit in 2014.
