Story summary

The 2024 NFL season has an unusual twist with the New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans facing off in a game where two former coaching staff members now lead key aspects of each team. Brian Daboll, who was head coach of the Giants from 2022 to early 2024, is now calling plays for the offense of the Titans. Meanwhile, Dennard Wilson, previously the defensive coordinator for the Titans but let go by new head coach Robert Saleh in favor of the former Giants offensive staff, will be coordinating the defense for the Giants. The teams' current rosters also feature several players who transferred along with their coaches from one team to another, including five free agents moving to the Titans for a total compensation package of $147 million. This unusual situation highlights the fluid nature of coaching and player transfers in professional football.

🔮 “I got hit on one of the touchdowns and didn’t know that Jalen [Nailor] scored, but I could hear our Raiders fans,” Cousins added.
🔮 Under different circumstances, the career-best performances by Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell could be celebrated as the Jets developing playmakers to complement Garrett Wilson.
🔮 Tanking would make sense — if the Colts hadn’t previously traded their first-round pick to the Jets.
🔮 If John Harbaugh were picking between two Michigan-bred quarterbacks this week, the Giants would start J.J. McCarthy over Tom Brady.
🔮 Edmunds will go from logging every defensive snap in the first six games to missing every snap in the final 11, The Post confirmed, after he was injured late in last week’s game against the Saints.
🔮 Maybe it’s time for the NFL to change its logo to include a player’s hand punching at the football that sits atop the shield.
🔮 “Maybe now 20 percent of that 30 that was gone is back,” Nagy said before Thursday’s practice.
🔮 McCarthy’s last pass — on fourth-and-1 from the 14-yard line with 12 seconds remaining — fell incomplete or else the Giants would’ve had a chance to win the game or send it to overtime despite trailing 34-10 when the quarterback change was made with 11:36 to go.
🔮 tRY IT NOW“I would love for us to be in that kind of a circumstance,” Harbaugh said.
🔮 If J.J. McCarthy was guaranteed to throw for 943 yards, rush for 104 yards and lead 12 scoring drives in his next start, then the Giants wouldn’t have a quarterback controversy on their hands.
