The kicker situation has become a recurring nightmare for Big Blue. Gano has dealt with three straight injury-plagued seasons: a groin injury in 2025, a hamstring issue in 2024, and season-ending knee surgery in 2023. Jude McAtamney hasn’t eased concerns, going just 2-for-4 on field goals and missing three extra points in the past two weeks. The Giants even signed Younghoe Koo recently, but will that be enough to stop the bleeding?
Possible replacements include Zane Gonzalez, Austin Seibert, Cade York, and Rodrigo Blankenship — each with their own ups and downs. The Giants can’t afford to waste more games on special teams errors, especially when the offense is finally clicking. Over the last four games, the team is averaging 25.3 points per game compared to just 17.3 with Russell Wilson earlier in the season. Jaxson Dart has been efficient with 791 yards, 7 touchdowns, and a 89.3 QB rating in his four starts. Cam Skattebo continues to grind with over 100 yards from scrimmage per game, while Wan’Dale Robinson and Daniel Bellinger are emerging as steady targets. The offensive line’s turnaround led by Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor has been key in protecting Dart and opening lanes for Skattebo.
Defensively, though, the prevent defense has been anything but. In the final drive against Dallas, stars like Dexter Lawrence and Abdul Carter were on the bench, leaving Beau Brade on the field as the defense softened — and it cost them the game. The Cowboys tied it with a field goal, and the Giants’ chance at a 4-3 record vanished in overtime.
We also recap every game from NFL Week 7, highlighting standout performances, shocking upsets, and what they mean for the playoff picture across the league. From quarterback duels to defensive meltdowns, we break down all the key storylines you need to know.
