Joe Judge era set to begin on MNF vs. Pittsburgh
Joe Judge, who became 19th head coach in Giants history this past January, will make his debut on Monday, Sept. 14 in MetLife Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It will be the Giants' first Monday night home opener since 1995. Judge was asked if his first game will be particularly special because it will be showcased on a Monday night.
"For me, any game is going to have the same amount of juice," he said Thursday when the NFL announced the 2020 schedule. "I think everyone is going to have a lot of energy for the opener, us and Pittsburgh. It's going to be a situation where look, you get to play under the lights, you get to play at home. But it's the opening game for both teams. Both teams will be coming out of training camp sick of beating up on each other and ready to see an opponent."
While the longtime Patriots assistance coach takes it one game at a time, he did admit there is a little more juice now that the schedule is revealed.
"I'll tell you what, when you get the schedule, it definitely does give you a little surge of energy," Judge said. "It stimulates a lot of conversation between all areas of the organization - support staff, coaching staff -- and you start preparing immediately for it. The number one positive is we're getting ready to play football, so that's the biggest thing. Once you get the schedule, it starts moving a little bit faster in your mind in terms of preparing for what's in front of you. The thing we were waiting to see a little bit on was how some of the cross-country games played out. That ties in a little bit to how you plan out a lot of your travel for the year, which is tied to how you practice those weeks. You start mapping out how you're going to go about each week by week through the season.
"We can start working on hotels and you start having more conversations that are going to tie into how you're going to plan and prepare throughout the flow of the season. You look at the bye week, you look at how shortly before that is the Thursday night game, which leads into a Monday night game. How can you use some of the breaks in the season to help your players? How can we structure practice accordingly? You're also tying in the new rules with our limited number of padded practices. You just start calculating as you look on down the list of opponents."

Giants could leave a day early for West Coast trips
The NFC West came up in the schedule rotation this year, which means the Giants will make trips to Los Angeles (Week 4) and Seattle (Week 13). Since Tom Coughlin took over in 2004, the Giants have traditionally traveled to the west coach the day prior to a game. That could change under Judge based on his experience in New England.
"I'd say for the most part, historically, we've gone out on Fridays and given them an extra day to get out there and get acclimated to a few things," he said. "But that's nothing that's locked in concrete. We'll talk as a coaching staff and make sure we hammer what we think is best for this team. To be honest with you, we'll have a game plan to go out there early and be prepared to cancel the extra day if we need to as we get a feel for how our team goes throughout the season."
Judge: I think we'll be very aware of Tom [Brady] being on the other team
Speaking of his time in New England, where he won three Super Bowls, Judge won't have to wait every four years to see Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. The historic duo switched conferences this year to the NFC South's Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will face the Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 8.
"I think we'll be very aware of Tom being on the other team," Judge said. "At that point of the year, I'm sure everyone is going to get used to him wearing a different color jersey. I'm in a different jersey myself. We're more conscious of the opponents we'll be playing. The Buccaneers have a very good defense, they have tons of receivers, tons of weapons, and they made some great additions in the offseason with Tom and Rob (Gronkowski). Seeing those guys over there, no matter where our paths may have crossed in the past, all that's going to matter is that Monday night."
Don't forget about expanded playoffs
Beginning this year, two additional Wild Card teams – one each in the American and National Football Conferences – will qualify for the playoffs. The No. 1 seed in each conference will receive a bye in the Wild Card round. The remaining division champions in each conference with the best records will be seeded 2, 3, and 4, followed by the next three teams per conference with the best records seeded 5, 6, and 7.
AFC and NFC Wild Card games will feature the 2 seed hosting the 7 seed, the 3 seed hosting the 6 seed and the 4 seed hosting the 5 seed.
Wild Card Weekend for the 2020 season will consist of three games on Saturday, January 9, and three games on Sunday, January 10, 2021.
The NFL last expanded the playoffs for the 1990 season, increasing from 10 to 12 the number of teams to qualify for the postseason. Since 1990, at least four new teams have qualified for the playoffs that missed the postseason the year before – a streak of 30 consecutive seasons.
Wild Card Weekend winners join the top division champions in each conference in the Divisional Playoffs on Saturday and Sunday, January 16-17. The AFC and NFC Championship Games will be played on Sunday, January 24. The winners meet two weeks later on Sunday, February 7, in Super Bowl LV at Tampa Bay's Raymond James Stadium (CBS).
