The New York Giants special teams were anemic in 2017, one of many culprits in the team’s long and torturous tumble to an embarrassing 3-13 season that saw both their head coach and general manager fired during the season.
- The Giants finished last in the league in net yards per punt attempt (36.7). Awful punts by Brad Wing contributed mightily to crushing early-season losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- The Giants gave up 10.4 yards per punt return, sixth-worst in the league. They were middle of the pack in kickoff coverage (19th), giving up 20.
