New York Giants vs. Washington Football Team: Game Info, Odds, Notes, and More

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.

Here are the other details you need to watch and listen to the Giants' game against the Washington Football Team.

Injuries, coaching, quarterback play, and yes, even the player himself, made for a disappointing concoction that has made Giants receiver Kenny Golladay's first season in New York a colossal disappointment.

Here's the final round of pre-game moves made by the Giants, this ahead of their Week 18 regular season finale at home against Washington.

It's the final reader mailbag of the regular season and as expected, the mailbag is filled with a mixture of emotions from loyal fans who were deprived of a solid football season.

Giants first-round draft pick Kadarius Toney will miss the regular-season finale, his disappointing rookie campaign coming to a close.

Patrick Graham once called the Giants his "dream job," but he also knows that ultimately one dream can end and another one begin.
