Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Giants Right to Bench Eli, but Now Heat Is On

While the Giants start over at quarterback, things are looking up for the Cowboys, Patriots and Odell. Those topics and more in this week's 10-Point Stance.

1. The end of Eli

No one should be surprised by the benching of Eli Manning. It should have happened long ago.

This is the sixth time in seven years the Giants have started 0-2. They haven't been a factor in the league since 2011, when they won the Super Bowl. They made the playoffs in 2016, but their records from 2012 to 2018 were 9-7, 7-9, 6-10, 6-10, 11-5, 3-13 and 5-11.
