What are the Saints' and Giants' expectations entering the 2026 season?
New Orleans Saints: New Orleans entered 2026 with Shough as the starter and an NFC South that had no winning team last season, with the Panthers, Buccaneers and Falcons all finishing 8-9. The 1-4 start has put that opportunity in doubt.
New York Giants: New York entered 2026 with Harbaugh, who went 180-113 in the regular season and won a Super Bowl in 18 years in Baltimore, replacing Daboll. The Giants have missed the playoffs three straight years and sit atop the NFC East at 3-1-1.
