The Giants.com crew members share what to look for in the second half of the season as the team comes out of the bye week.
John Schmeelk: The Giants control their own destiny heading into the final 10 games as they seek to win their first division title since they went 9-7 in 2011 and won the Super Bowl. The way that becomes reality is for them to continue to play like they did against the Texans.
It was the cleanest football they have played all season. They did not fumble the ball. They had no turnovers. They committed only four penalties for 50 yards. There were no procedural penalties. There didn't seem to be many missed assignments. Everything appeared organized and buttoned up. They outgained the Texans by more than 200 yards. They looked like a fundamental football team.
That's not even touching the execution. The Giants won the game the way they want to win football games. They were physical. They ran the ball, stopped the run, and won in the trenches. They made explosive plays. They were the better team on third down. They looked like a team with an identity.
They will have to build on that identity moving forward because the schedule gets tougher. The Giants still haven't played a team this year that currently has a record better than .500. In the second half of the season, they have to deal with some of the league's best teams like the Jaguars, 49ers and Seahawks. They will take a firm grip on the NFC East if they can figure out a way to beat their next two opponents, the Eagles and Commanders.
Improving to 3-0-1 in the NFC East would give the Giants a stranglehold on the division with wins against all three NFC opponents so far this season. But if the Giants want to do that, they will have to continue to play as well as they did against the Texans before the bye.
Relive the best moments from the first half of the Giants' 2026 season.

Head Coach John Harbaugh
Dan Salomone: Tom Coughlin and Chip Kelly were the opposing head coaches the last time the Giants defeated the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Since that game on Oct. 27, 2013 â when Eli Manning was the winning quarterback and the Eagles had to replace an injured Michael Vick with Matt Barkley late in the second quarter â the Giants have lost 13 consecutive games in Philadelphia, including one in the postseason.
John Harbaugh, who is 15-3 in games immediately following the bye week, will look to break the streak this Sunday against Nick Sirianni and the Eagles.
The "1-0" mantra is a cliché for a reason. It's the truth in the NFL. But it took on an even greater significance after the Giants lost Jaxson Dart and Brian Burns in the early going. By doing so, they weathered the storms and emerged in control of the NFC East.
But November football is upon us. It's a time when the league separates the contenders from the pretenders. The good news for the Giants is they can still improve in a lot of areas and maybe not leave fans on the edge of their seats until the final play of each game. If they do keep taking things down to the wire, will the decisive plays be there?
They have earned the right to be in this situation, and now they have to finish the season just like they have finished each game for the most part.
How the Giants emerge from the break will set the course for the rest of the season.
"I just am appreciative of the fact that everybody in the building made it about what's important, which is the football," Harbaugh said heading into the bye week. "That's what we have to continue to do, and we will continue to do that. We've all seen it be successful. We have a long way to go. We have a lot of work to do. We're going to be playing some really tough games coming up here in the next few weeks, really physical, violent, tough games that are going to require our best football, our best execution. We're going to have to be at our best."

Matt Citak: The Giants went 4-2-1 despite having to deal with a lot of adversity through the first seven weeks of the season. One of the biggest setbacks, of course, was the season-ending knee injury suffered by Jaxson Dart at the start of Week 2. Jameis Winston filled in admirably for Dart, leading the Giants to a 2-1-1 record over the next four games before the newly-acquired J.J. McCarthy took over in Week 7. McCarthy's growth and the development of the pieces around him, was the things I'm most interested to watch over the second half of the season.
McCarthy put together a strong performance in his first start with the Giants. Going up against a tough Texans defense, the 23-year-old completed 20 of 28 passes (71.4 percent) for 252 yards and earned a passer rating of 99.1. McCarthy generated a 19.4 percent explosive rate, the fourth-highest of his career, as he became the youngest Giant since 1954 to throw for 250+ yards and complete 70+ percent of his passes. Between this game and his 11 minutes played against the Saints in Week 6, McCarthy completed 10 passes of 20+ yards, which was the second-most of any quarterback in the NFL from Weeks 6-7. All of this production came after McCarthy spent less than a month in the building.
Now in his third NFL season, McCarthy is still the youngest starting quarterback in the NFL. As he becomes more comfortable in Matt Nagy's offense, the young signal-caller should continue to grow and develop his game, which would mean good things for a Giants offense that ranks 14th in points, 11th in yards and has the league's ninth-best red zone offense this season. Malik Nabers went into the bye week on the most dominant stretch of his NFL career, while Isaiah Likely is already close to breaking all of his previous career-highs in receiving. We also saw Malachi Fields catch a career-best four passes for 83 yards from McCarthy in that game in Houston, and we know how rookie wide receivers tend to develop throughout their first season.
In addition to the pieces in the passing game, we also witnessed the Giants have their strongest performance on the ground in Week 7. Four different players scored rushing touchdowns as the unit finished with a season-high 188 rushing yards. What makes this even more impressive is that it came with McCarthy, a dual-threat quarterback, having just one rushing yard himself. While this offense may not look exactly how the coaching staff planned during training camp when Dart was under center, McCarthy's continued development could have it producing at a high level nonetheless.
