For the first 10 weeks of the season, the Giants fought to be "relevant." It was a word Tom Coughlin leaned on almost every week as the Giants remained in the thick of a close but unattractive race in the NFC East. Now that they are at Thanksgiving Week -- the traditional launching point for playoff pushes -- and coming off their bye, Coughlin is changing the goal.
"We are relevant," he said. "And now we have to do something about it."
It's a position the Giants haven't been in since 2012. The last two years the team has been eliminated by this point in the schedule.
