Brian Daboll On Being In The Conversation In December
Under rookie head coach Brian Daboll, the New York Giants are on course for their first winning season since 2016.
The Giants raced to a 6-1 start, and have earned the chance to reach their first postseason in six years.
Due to his three years as OC for the Bills, Brian Daboll is the one person in the organization with recent playoff experience, having qualified in each of the past three seasons.
In spite of their current two game losing streak, the 7-4 Giants enter December with something on the line.

“When you play meaningful games in December, I think that’s why we all do this,” Brian Daboll said.Â
“You go all the way back to OTAs and to preseason and the beginning part of the season; now you’re in December. And I’ve been on teams that have played meaningful games in December, and I’ve been part of teams that haven’t. It’s not a lot of fun when you’re not playing meaningful games. So, let’s come to work with a great attitude, a positive mindset. Keep getting better. And you focus on the week’s opponent: That’s how you have to do it. But they’re important games now.”

“I think the way they’re handling winning — they’re consistent,” Daboll said when asked how he felt his team was handling its recent adversity. “We’ve all been in this league a long time. The last time that you haven’t faced adversity will be the first time. You’re going to face it. Week 1, Week 5, Week 10. So, the approach is to be consistent, like the message I’ve tried to give really since I’ve been here.”
