The 2023 season was the New York Giants' 99th in the National Football League (NFL) and their second under the head coach/general manager tandem of Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen.

[1] Following an overtime victory by the Philadelphia Eagles over the Buffalo Bills in Week 12,[2] the Giants were eliminated from contention for the NFC East title.

[3] A historically poor offensive line and numerous injuries, particularly losing starting quarterback Daniel Jones to a torn ACL in a Week 9 loss against the Raiders, plagued the team throughout the year.

First, Andrew Thomas was flagged for a false start, then rookie center John Michael Schmitz snapped the ball errantly behind Daniel Jones, causing a sack, and then Graham Gano's field goal attempt was blocked, with Dallas returning it for a touchdown.

Three plays later after another lengthy pass interference penalty, Matt Breida ran the ball in from eight yards out, providing the only touchdown of the night for the Giants and only trailed 20–12 after the end of the third quarter, but the 49ers pulled away in the fourth and won 30–12.

The Giants offensive line woes continued when rookie C John Michael Schmitz left the game with a shoulder injury.

The Giants scored on a Jason Pinnock 102-yard interception return in the second quarter of the game, the team's first first-half touchdown of the season, to close to within 7 points of the Dolphins at half-time.

The season's offensive line problems continued for the Giants, with Daniel Jones being ruled out of the game midway through the fourth quarter with a neck injury sustained while being sacked for the sixth time.

The overmatched Giants played a close game against the Bills on Sunday Night Football despite not having Daniel Jones, Andrew Thomas, and others.

The Giants opened the scoring in the first quarter with a Graham Gano field goal after Bobby Okereke stripped Gabriel Davis of the football, which Micah McFadden recovered.

The Giants tried to move down the field and were on the Bills 1-yard line with 14 seconds to go and no timeouts, and starting QB Tyrod Taylor audibled out of two pass plays and opted to run with Saquon Barkley.

The Bills first drive of the second half was long and methodical, and capped it off with a Deonte Harty touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to take a 7–6 lead.

With 2 seconds left, the referees called pass interference on the Bills for grabbing Darren Waller, giving the Giants an untimed down.

After first round pick Deonte Banks had his first career interception, Tyrod Taylor threw a second touchdown pass, this time to Saquon Barkley to give the Giants a 14–0 lead they took with them in the locker room.

On the Commanders next drive, Howell connected with Terry McLaurin for 58 yards over 2 receptions and settled for a field goal attempt which was blocked by Leonard Williams to preserve the 7-point lead.

The Giants responded by moving down the field, but Barkley fumbled in the red zone to give the ball back to Washington.

Kayvon Thibodeaux strip-sacked Jets QB Zach Wilson on the opening drive of the game, but the Giants had to settle for a field goal after going three-and-out.

Daniel Jones returned to action for the first time since Week 5, but tore his ACL on a non-contact play to begin the second quarter and was replaced by Tommy DeVito.

In their first game after firing Josh McDaniels, the Raiders were dominant and played with new life under interim coach Antonio Pierce, a former Giant and Super Bowl XLII champion.

DeVito threw his first career touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson early in the fourth quarter and was named the starter the next week against the Cowboys.

This was Tommy DeVito's first win in the NFL and despite getting sacked 9 times in the game, he was named the Rookie of the Week for his performance throwing 246 yards, 3 touchdown passes, and no turnovers.

In the fourth quarter, Zappe threw an interception to Xavier McKinney to set up a Randy Bullock field goal to give the Giants a 10–7 lead.

Because he reestablished his footing, wasn't giving himself up when he fell, and was never touched down, the play was ruled a fumble and the Packers returned it 50 yards amidst the confusion deep into Giants territory.

Tommy DeVito was sacked 7 times and the Giants offense failed to muster any momentum in a game they sorely needed to win.

Kicker Randy Bullock was injured in the loss, and punter Jamie Gillan made his first NFL field goal on the last play of the second quarter.

Late in the second quarter and needing a touchdown, Saquon Barkley was stopped in Philadelphia territory on a 4th & 1, then the Eagles tried to extend their lead before halftime.

Jalen Hurts scrambled for a gain and failed to get out of bounds with no timeouts left, but Bobby Okereke was controversially flagged for a defensive delay of game penalty which stopped the clock for the Eagles.

The Giants settled for field goal to make the score 20–19, but the Rams struck back quickly with a 28-yard touchdown run by Kyren Williams, his third of the game.

The play was executed perfectly, and Barkley was wide open in point blank range, but Tyrod Taylor inexplicably missed the pass, so the Giants had to kick it back to the Rams trailing 26–25.

After the defense made a stop, Taylor drove the Giants into field goal range without any timeouts, but Mason Crosby missed the 54-yard game-winning kick and the Rams survived.
