8. Week 9-New York Giants
I mentioned earlier that Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is on the hot seat. There is a strong case for New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll being on a much hotter seat and giving Stefanski run for his money as to who gets fired first.
You think the Bears have a tough schedule in 2025? The Giants have the toughest schedule in 2025, with their opponents combined for a .574 winning percentage in 2024. If you look at their schedule, they begin with NFC East rivals Dallas and Washington on the road, followed by two AFC West opponents at home, Kansas City and Los Angeles Chargers. 0-4 start is not out of the question.
The only winnable game on their schedule is the Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are a team that is starting over under new head coach Kellen Moore, and it could be a matchup between the two worst teams in the NFL when they meet.
If the Giants can't beat the Saints and fall 1-4 or 0-5, the knives will be out in full force from restless fans and the media, demanding that Daboll be fired or bench Russell Wilson in favor of the rookie Jaxson Dart. When the Bears face the Giants, they could have an interim coach, and Dart could be thrown into action, whether he is ready or not.
