Story summary

The New York Giants distributed black T-shirts with the slogan "1-0" as a motivational tool for their players and staff to focus on each game individually. Head coach John Harbaugh initiated this initiative, emphasizing the importance of thinking about each upcoming match as a fresh start rather than dwelling on past performance. The shirts were first seen at Wednesday's practice and continued to be worn through Thursday by key team members including general manager Joe Schoen and defensive tackle D.J. Reader. Reader, an 11-year veteran, noted that while the T-shirts might seem corny, they serve as a daily reminder for players to concentrate on achieving a win in their current game rather than looking ahead or back. The "1-0" concept is not tied to the team's actual record and will remain constant regardless of future wins or losses.

🔮 “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.
