It was Mike Kafka’s first big decision as interim head coach after the Giants fired Brian Daboll following a 2-8 start to his fourth season.
Kafka spent nearly four years as an offensive coordinator and assistant head coach on Daboll’s staff.

“We finally made it, huh?” Winston said Wednesday following his first practice as the Giants’ starting quarterback. “We finally made it.”
Kafka sounded confident in his decision and praised Winston for his leadership.
“Jameis has done a great job since he’s been here,” Kafka said. “I got good feel for those guys, and I think Jameis will do a heck of a job. He’s a great leader, he has a lot of production in this league and I think he’s going to do a great job leading that group.”
Wilson was benched for Dart after an 0-3 start.
