Fans long ago turned their attention to the draft, and to who will be the next permanent coach of the Giants. Players and coaches, though, just want to remember what it feels like to win.

“I just want to win bad. I mean, that’s just really what it comes down to. We’re all eager, we just want that feeling again. So, we’re looking for it, we’re trying to find answers,” said quarterback Jaxson Dart. “And the biggest thing is just, like you said, try to keep the spirits up and encourage everybody in the locker room. And we still got three weeks left, so it’ll be really big for us to try to stack on this as a team. You only have so many opportunities with the guys in that locker room, so you definitely want to take advantage of it.”
