In the NFL, and more so in the state of New York, comfortable narratives are for the foolish. As Alec Baldwin said at the beginning of his narration for the 1990 New York Giants‘ America’s Game documentary, “In a New York minute, everything can change.”
Narratives alter in the blink of an eye in both New York and in pro football. One story will dominate a week, and one loss the following Sunday could change it all. That’s exactly what’s happened with the Giants once again this season.
This is becoming somewhat of a tradition for the Giants.
