The Giants will head to Detroit for a Week 12 matchup against the Lions.
Sunday's game will wrap up the Giants' three-week stretch against the NFC North. The team is looking to snap its five-game losing streak, which includes losses to the Packers and Bears.
Meanwhile, the high-powered Lions offense was held to nine points against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football, which lead to their fourth loss of the season.
This will be the Giants' first regular-season trip to Detroit since 2019.
Here are five storylines to follow in Week 12.
'It's a team game'
The Giants once again held a lead in the fourth quarter as a Jameis Winston one-yard touchdown run gave them a 20-19 lead with just over seven minutes remaining. But as we've seen in recent weeks, the Giants could not come up with the big play when they needed it most.
"It's never just one play," interim head coach Mike Kafka told reporters Monday. "It's never just one person. It's a team game. It's all of us coming together. All of us making those adjustments. Then when we get those opportunities, we've got to go make them. Right in front of us, we've got to go nail it. But it's not about one person and it's not about one play for us. It's about our whole group. There are a lot of plays throughout an NFL game and there are plenty of things that we could have done better, myself included. I'm a part of it with those guys. I'm going to work my tail off to get it cleaned up and fixed and then go attack this week of practice."
The Giants will have an opportunity to get back in the win column this weekend, although it will be a challenge. For the second straight week, the Giants are facing off against a team coming off a tough loss to the Eagles in primetime. The Lions were held to just nine points on Sunday night in Philadelphia, their lowest point total of the season, as the loss dropped them to 6-4 on the season. Entering Week 12, the Lions currently sit outside the NFC playoff picture.
Getting Jaxson back on the field
Jameis Winston made his Giants debut in last week's loss to the Packers due to Jaxson Dart suffering a concussion against the Bears in Week 10. Dart was placed in the concussion protocol soon after, where he has been working his way through ever since. While Kafka ruled Dart out for Week 11 last Wednesday, the rookie quarterback was spotted on the practice field on Friday. With the Giants taking the practice field today for the first time this week, the interim head coach said Dart would be out there with his teammates as a non-contact participant. He was listed as limited on the first injury report of the week.
"Right now he's in a non-contact day," Kafka said before practice. "Sure, he's still in the protocol, like in that phasing of it. So, he'll continue to progress through it if he goes through the right forms here."
When asked if Dart would be under center Sunday if he continues to progress through the protocol and does not suffer any setbacks, Kafka responded "Yeah, that would be the fair plan for sure."
Dart was in the midst of yet another strong outing prior to suffering the concussion. The 22-year-old had completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 242 yards through three quarters against the Bears, while adding 66 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. It marked the fifth time in seven starts that the rookie rushed for more than 50 yards, the sixth game in which he ran for a touchdown, and the seventh outing that he accounted for multiple touchdowns.
If he's able to get back on the field, the first-year quarterback has a good opportunity to stack another strong performance this weekend. While the Lions defense has played well this year, the strength of the unit lies in the run game. Detroit has allowed 18 passing touchdowns, tied for the ninth-most in the league. The Lions' secondary has also been dealing with the injury bug, as cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and D.J. Reed, along with safety Kerby Joseph, all missed last week's game, leaving the unit without three of its usual starters in the defensive backfield.
Containing Detroit's playmakers
You'd have to go back to the 2021 season to find the last time Detroit did not boast a top five offense in both points and yards. The Lions make it no secret that they want to run the football. When you have a running back duo like Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, along with one of the NFL's top offensive lines, who could blame them?
Through the first 10 games of the season, Gibbs has registered 140 rush attempts for 732 yards, good for an average of 5.2 yards per carry, and eight touchdowns with Montgomery adding 110 rushes for 493 yards (4.5 avg.) and five scores. The two backs have also played a big role in the passing game, with Gibbs ranking third on the team with his 37 receptions, which he's taken for 334 yards and an additional two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Montgomery has caught 15 passes for 116 yards.
When the Lions do throw the football, more often than not it goes to the talented Amon-Ra St. Brown. The back-to-back All-Pro selection is well on his way to a third, as the wideout ranks sixth in the NFL in receptions (66), eighth in receiving yards (735), and second in receiving touchdowns (eight). His 94 targets are 44 more than anyone else on the team, leading to a target share above 30 percent.
Quarterback Jared Goff is putting together yet another strong campaign with 2,490 passing yards, a 69.7 completion percentage, 21 touchdowns and just four interceptions. But the veteran quarterback recently lost one of his favorite targets as tight end Sam LaPorta was placed on injured reserve due to a back injury. This has led to a bigger role for the team's No. 2 wide receiver, Jameson Williams, who ranks second on the team with 562 receiving yards. Williams has caught a touchdown in three straight games and has 66 yards and a touchdown in four of the last five.
The Lions' ability to capitalize in the red zone is among the best in the league. They have scored a touchdown on 26 of 39 trips inside the 20-yard line, with their 66.7 conversion percentage ranking fifth.

Other injury updates
Kafka began his Wednesday press conference with the news that the team opened up the practice window for running back Eric Gray. The third-year running back was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list at the start of training camp after suffering a knee injury during the offseason. Gray registered just 14 carries for 31 yards last season, but played a bigger role on special teams, where he returned 21 kickoffs for 554 yards (26.4 avg.). He was listed as a full participant in his first practice of the season.
Cornerback Paulson Adebo did not practice on Wednesday. The veteran corner was set to make his return to action this past weekend after suffering a knee injury back in Week 7. But Adebo felt some discomfort while going through pregame warmups, which led to him being ruled out before kickoff. Outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, who is recovering from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the Week 11 matchup against the Packers, also did not participate in the first practice of the week.
While listed as a non-participant, wide receiver Darius Slayton did do some work with the trainers off to the side Wednesday. The veteran wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury against the Bears and missed this past weekend's game, but Slayton appears to be working his way towards a potential return.
Tight end Thomas Fidone II (foot), linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (illness), and cornerback Rico Payton (illness) also missed Wednesday's practice, as did cornerback Cor'Dale Flott (not injury related - personal).
Defensive lineman Chauncey Golston (neck), safety Tyler Nubin (neck), and defensive lineman Rakeem Nuñez-Roches Sr. (toe), all of whom missed last week's game, were all limited at Wednesday's practice. Cornerback Deonte Banks (hip) was also limited.
Scouting Hutchinson & the Lions defense
As challenging of a matchup as Sunday will be for the Giants' defense, it doesn't get a whole lot easier on the other side of the ball. The Lions come into this game with the No. 10 scoring defense and No. 5 defense in yards allowed. The unit's third down defense ranks fourth, leading to opponents averaging just two minutes and 32 seconds per drive against them, which is the lowest in the league. Their biggest weakness seems to be in the red zone, where they have allowed touchdowns on 21 of 33 trips inside the 20 (63.6 percent), which ranks 25th.
Detroit has talent on all three levels of the defense, but it really starts up front with Aidan Hutchinson. The perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate has 7.5 sacks on the season, while his 57 total pressures and four forced fumbles are both the highest marks in the NFL. He also leads the Lions with his 18 quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss.
The Lions have a few linebackers that have really provided the defense with a big boost this season. Leading the way for that group is Jack Campbell, who has taken a big step in his third NFL season. Campbell has been Detroit's best defender against the run this season, while his 97 total tackles are not only 40 more than anyone else on the team, but also is tied for the fourth-most in the NFL. The 25-year-old has also added four sacks and two forced fumbles, while his seven tackles for loss are tied with Hutchinson for the team-lead. Rounding out the linebacker core are veterans Alex Anzalone and Derrick Barnes, in addition to Malcolm Rodriguez, who was just activated off the PUP list this week after recovering from a torn ACL suffered last Thanksgiving. This group, outside of Rodriguez, has played a crucial role in Detroit's top 10 run defense.
The biggest question mark on the Lions' defense is in the secondary, where it remains to be seen who will be available this week. As noted above, cornerbacks Terrion Arnold (concussion) and D.J. Reed (hamstring) both missed last week's game against the Eagles, along with safety Kerby Joseph (knee). Even without those three starters on the field last week, the Lions still held the Eagles to just 124 total passing yards. This marked the third consecutive game in which Detroit has held its opponent to under 200 total passing yards. On the season, the unit ranks eighth in passing yards allowed, but 24th in touchdowns.
