3:45 p.m. -- The Commanders lost to the Vikings 31-0 on the road. The Giants will host both teams in back-to-back weeks coming out of their late bye, starting with a visit from the former. QB Jayden Daniels left in the third quarter with a left elbow injury and did not return. The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year and second overall pick was returning from a three-game absence due to the elbow and has played only seven games this season. The Commanders, a year after they went 12-5 and made the NFC Championship Game, have lost eight consecutive games to fall to 3-10 on the season. The 5-8 Vikings, meanwhile, snapped a four-game skid and will play at Dallas on Sunday Night Football before their trip to MetLife Stadium. The 2-11 Giants are on a seven-game losing streak, not including their opening 21-6 loss to the Commanders in the first leg of the season series.

9:30 a.m. -- LB Bobby Okereke was named the Giants' club winner for the 2025 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, which recognizes players for excellence on and off the field. The award was established in 1970 and renamed in 1999 after the late Hall of Fame running back, Walter Payton. Each team honors one player who has had a significant positive impact on his community, with one winner selected from the 32 nominees.

The winner of the award each year receives up to a $265,000 donation to the charity of his choice, while all 32 club winners receive up to a $55,000 donation. The winner of this year's Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award will be announced live at "NFL Honors" on Feb. 6.

Last year, wide receiver Darius Slayton was the Giants' club winner. Jaguars defensive end Arik Armstead went on to win the NFL award. Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning is the only Giants player ever to receive the award, which was first given to Johnny Unitas in 1970.

Tuesday, Dec. 2

1:45 p.m. -- GM Joe Schoen addressed the media before the Giants went on their bye in Week 14. Schoen talked about the state of the team and where things stand in the coaching search.

"I understand the frustration from fans, ownership, the people inside the building," Schoen said. "Nobody is more frustrated than myself, it starts with me, and I'm tasked with trying to get this organization going back in the proper direction. The standard is to compete for championships year in and year out and that's the plan moving forward. So, we're going to look at everything. Free agency, the draft, coaching, finishing, execution on the field, whatever it may be. We're going to look at all avenues in order to get this franchise back to where it belongs.

"As for the coaching changes we made earlier in the year. This is the first time I've spoke with you guys since we moved on from Coach (Brian) Daboll and Shane Bowen. Dabs and I have an extended history together professionally and personally, difficult decision, but one we decided to make and he's a great football coach and he's going to be successful in whatever he does after the New York Giants. I'll say the same with Shane, appreciate everything Shane did for us, tireless worker, good coach, good man and wish him nothing but the best moving forward as well.

"As for the coaching search, we're going to do everything we can right now to support (interim head coach Mike) Kafka. That's our primary focus right now is to give Kafka everything he needs in order to succeed over these next four weeks, support him and his staff. At the appropriate time, we'll get into potential coaches research and we'll do thorough collaborative research and come up with the best coach to lead the New York Giants going into the 2026 season.

"As for the roster, I do believe there is a good young core to build around here and it will be an attractive job for many coaches and I'm excited to get that process going as we move forward.

"I know you guys are going to have some questions on (outside linebacker) Abdul (Carter). I know Kafka just spoke upon that and I'm going to support him with whatever decision he makes in terms of player discipline. So again, I support him with that decision, and I'll just leave it at that. So, with that, I'll open it up for any questions you guys might have."
