But that game — and all other games that weekend — were postponed due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The loss would eliminate the Giants from playoff contention for the third straight season. Said Shurmur, "We play three division games in the final month, which is going to be important in determining how the season goes." The season's final month will begin with a home game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 1 o'clock. That will be followed by the Giants' second Monday night game, in Philadelphia on Dec. 9. The longest touchdown drive for the Giants since 2014 has allowed the road team to take control with an emphatic statement late in the second quarter.
San Francisco travels south to San Diego for a four-game series beginning March 28. Next year, the Giants will open with seven straight road games as they’ll head north to Los Angeles for a three-game series after visiting Petco Park. The DH likely is coming next season, and Webb has made no secret of the fact that he really wanted to clear the wall at least once in his career.
Giants to re-sign WR T.J. Jones, place Kareem Martin on IR
Tom Brady had two touchdown runs and moved ahead of Peyton Manning for second place on the NFL's all-time passing yards list as New England pulled away for a blowout win in Foxborough, Mass. Major League Baseball released a full calendar for next season Wednesday, allowing teams and fans to plan for the year ahead. Jenkins, who had a miserable game against the Buccaneers last Sunday, picked off Haskins twice in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. With the win, the Giants snapped their nine-game losing streak and improved to 3–11 in Eli Manning's final NFL game.
Both offenses were anemic, and the Giants dropped to 2–9 and suffered their third straight losing season. The Giants traded Eli Apple to New Orleans for their 2019 fourth-round pick and their 2020 seventh-round pick. They will play three of their preseason opponents – the Jets, Bears and Patriots – in the regular season.

Also there were some members of local professional sports teams, including the Giants. "This is an exciting time," said Pat Shurmur, who is entering his second season as the Giants' head coach. "This week, we started the offseason program. And now we can see when we're going to play. We knew who our opponents would be and where we are going to play, but there's an excitement that builds once the schedule comes out."
The Giants defense blew a 4th quarter lead and lost their 2nd game in a row to the Jets. On December 5, the Giants signed rookie center Tanner Volson, and ex-Panthers safety Rashaan Gaulden to the fill the vacant spots on the practice squad. On December 7, Chandler was re-signed to the active roster, replacing Jabrill Peppers, who was placed on injured reserve.

Then-AT&T Park was officially sold out for 530 consecutive regular-season games from the final weekend of the 2010 season to July 18, 2017. Those years encompassed the three World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014 as well as a fourth trip to the playoffs in 2016. This is when embattled Redskins head coach Jay Gruden finally decided to insert rookie first-round pick Dwayne Haskins Jr. into the game, replacing ineffective veteran starter Case Keenum, who was 6-of-11 for 37 yards and the INT to Connelly. In the win over the Chiefs, Morten Andersen hit field goals of 42 and 34 yards, while Ron Dayne scored the game’s only touchdown. The NFL moved the Week 2 slate of games to the first week in January as the country mourned.
The Giants drew a total of 2,482,686 fans for their home games this season. In 2019, the last season before COVID-19 restrictions, they drew 2,707,760.

If there was ever a time for the Giants to assert themselves as a playoff threat, the two weeks leading up to the All-Star break figure to provide an excellent opportunity. San Francisco will play 10 of 13 games at home before the break with a brief three-game trip scheduled for San Diego. The Giants will also be home for eight games from June 7-June 16 and should be well-rested as they’ll have two off days during the homestand.
Two Jones interceptions led to 10 points for Tampa Bay, which ultimately used that game as a springboard to bigger and better things, most notably a Super Bowl victory at season’s end. The reigning Super Bowl champion Patriots also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown and forced four turnovers, including a fumble return for a score, to move to 6-0 for the first time since time since 2015. Slater hit the sixth pinch-homer of his career off lefty Caleb Smith to start the seventh inning and break a 1-1 tie. The Giants will close with the Dodgers at home next season which always adds intrigue to the calendar.
Barry Bonds received his 2001 MVP trophy before the game and hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning. Gaylord Perry pitched a complete game shutout and Giants scored all of their runs in the second inning with a two-run homer by third baseman Alan Gallagher, the first “native-born” San Francisco Giant, who grew up in the Mission District. The Giants’ first home opener in San Francisco began with an 8-0 drubbing of the Los Angeles Dodgers at Seals Stadium. Rubén Gómez pitched a complete-game shutout, and the Giants’ first home run in San Francisco was hit by shortstop Darryl Spencer.
His pass was deflected - Jones was trying to throw the ball out of bounds - and defensive tackle Cam Heyward caught the ball in the end zone for a back-breaking interception. Pederson, a native of nearby Palo Alto whose 70 RBIs rank second on the team behind Flores' 71, is completing a one-year contract and will return to free agency this winter. Perhaps the most surprising oddity of the 2019 schedule is a Friday off day for the Giants. After playing three midweek games in August against the Cubs, the Giants will fly back to the Bay Area and go dark on Friday, August 23 before finishing a road trip with two weekend games in Oakland against the A’s. The Giants are bringing some old-school flair to their 2019 schedule as they’ll host the Arizona Diamondbacks for a doubleheader Saturday, June 29.
He completed 20-of-37 passes for 197 yards and an interception, but also rushed for 79 yards on nine carries, scrambling through and around constant duress. Colt McCoy started for an injured Jones, and the Browns swarmed the Giants from the start. Trailing 16-10, the Giants marched 87 yards on 19 plays in the third quarter. That's when Bud Dupree pressured Jones as he rolled left from the 4-yard line.
Instead, the pass went through Evan Engram's fingers, breathing life into an eventual Eagles' rally that crushed the Giants in Philadelphia, which is par for the course. It was the 19th straight victory against a first or second-year quarterback, the longest such streak in NFL history, as Jones took his lumps against the Patriots. Leonard Williams is set to return after missing last week with a neck injury. His presence should be a boost up front for the Giants, who will be geared up to stop Washington's rushing attack.
Franchise legend Buster Posey retired and trade deadline acquisition Kris Bryant left without the Giants making a major move to replace him offensively. The Giants did sell out all three home games against the Dodgers in the NLDS and sold their entire allotment of standing-room-only tickets for Games 2 and 5. The 2021 home opener welcomed fans back inside Oracle Park, but with a limited capacity of 7,390 fans in a socially distanced set-up. The Giants didn’t reopen the ballpark to full capacity until June 25, 2021, gradually increasing capacity as guidelines for proper distancing changed and vaccination rates increased. The Giants didn’t have any fans — but they did have cardboard cutouts — in the stands for the 2020 home opener, though some people still set up inside McCovey Cove or on the portwalk in front of the water. After sweeping the Dodgers in Los Angeles, the Giants also won their home opener at Pac Bell Park, beating the Padres 3-1.
