The New York Giants could be officially eliminated from the playoffs in Week 12, the earliest exit since 1976 and first of the 2025 season.
But the New York Giants have a chance to make some eliminated-from-the-playoffs history in Week 12 following the release of the NFL's elimination scenarios. The Giants are the only team that can be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention this week.
According to NFL Tiebreaker expert Joe Ferreira, if the Giants were to be eliminated this week, with six weeks to play in the regular season, it would mark their earliest elimination since 1976. It would also mark the earliest playoff elimination since the New York Jets in 2020. Sam Darnold's Jets started 0-13 that season.
The New York Giants became the NFL's first team eliminated from the playoffs after blowing another fourth-quarter lead, highlighted by a historic FG.
