The Giants need to lock up running back Saquon Barkley before he becomes a free agent in March. Barkley had a monster season for the Giants.

The old saying goes, "a chain is only as strong as its' weakest link." NFL teams are a lot like chains. Every player is important to their unit's success and there are hardly any weak links when you get into Divisional Playoff weekend. So, let's look at some of Saturday's players that could unlock tickets to next weekend.

Daniel Jones has earned the chance to be the New York Giants' QB of the future, but for that to happen, he'll need a new contract, and this is what he's worth.

John Mara is president and CEO of the Giants. Mara is the person that most Big Blue fans recognize as the team owner. The other owner, Steve Tisch, is the team's chairman and executive vice president. However, Tisch has spent most of his tenure in the behind the scenes, especially over the past few years after suffering a loss of his daughter in August of 2020. Following the Giants' 31-24 victory on Sunday, the 73 year-old film and television producer had some enthusiastic words about his team.

If the Giants have any chance of beating the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in the NFC Wild Card, they need to do a much better job defending WR Justin Jefferson.

Davis Webb started his collegiate career at Texas Tech University for three years, playing 10 games in his freshman season and sparingly the next two. Webb transferred to Cal to be the starter for his senior year. In 2017, he was drafted by the New York Giants in the 3rd round. Then general manager Jerry Reese thought the 6-5 Texan could possibly develop into the heir to Eli Manning's quarterback throne. As we know, that didn't work out. On Sunday, Davis Webb had the job of filling in for Daniel Jones, as the Giants rested 19 of their starting 22 players, in anticipation of next week's playoff game against Minnesota.

Brian Daboll pushed Daniel Jones to the limit. Not to make him fail, but to test his ability to lead. Now, the New York Giants are reaping the rewards.

The Giants will be a tough out in the playoffs, because of quarterback Daniel Jones and his ability to beat you through the air and ability to run the football.

Those NFL fans that believe you have to have a top draft pick to rebuild your team have not watched the New York Giants this year. So, why do some teams "appear" to tank a season to get the top pick, like the Jacksonville Jaguars "appeared" to do in 2020? The Jags ended up with the much-hyped quarterback out of Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, notably a franchise changing player. The Jags have a chance to make the playoffs this year. However, the tanking philosophy may have cost the Jacksonville fans at least 5 years of playoff football.

Sports and superstitions go hand-in-hand, which is why New York Giants' coach Brian Daboll cited a new habit of his as the reason why his team is winning again.

Quarterback Daniel Jones can solidify his future with the Giants with a big performance on Sunday night at Washington.

New York football was riding high after Week 9 of the NFL season ended. All three franchises, the Bills, the Jets and the Giants were securely playing into the playoff picture, much to the surprise of Big Blue and some Gang Green fans. In Detroit, going into Week 9 was, unfortunately, more of the same for Lions. Head coach Dan Campbell's team was 1-6 and fans were beginning to lose patience. Oh, what a difference a few weeks make.
