The New York Giants have lost their last five games in a row, and the Washington Football Team has lost its previous four. That means that one of these two non-playoff contenders will snap their losing streak on Sunday (unless the contest ends in a tie).

It's also the last game in which the Football Team will be known as such, as come February 2, they will be announcing their new, permanent name.

Sadly, it won't be the football game most people are interested in. Instead, it will be the decisions made by Giants ownership after the game. Reports of the team and general manager Dave Gettleman mutually agreeing to part ways after the season have been multiplying weekly.

Less certain is a decision regarding head coach Joe Judge, who, after a somewhat promising rookie campaign (albeit with a 6-10 record), has seen his team regress in part due to injuries (which every NFL team has), and in part due to some of the handiwork of his hand-picked assistant coaches.

The general feeling is that Judge will get another chance, especially after John Mara, following Judge's hiring two years ago, said, "It’s up to us to show a little more patience with this coach than perhaps we have over the last few years because he is a first-time head coach.”

The odds of team ownership making a decision or announcement as soon as the final buzzer is slim, especially if the game is emotionally charged either way.

But a decision is coming as the Giants, no matter what excuse anyone wants to use, have gone backward with little to no signs of hope on what will be an already dismal day that could have cold and rainy weather.
