Barkley and Daboll have ignited high hopes for the Giants

Associated Press  

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After five consecutive losing seasons, it’s hard to put into perspective the New York Giants’ 21-20 win over the Tennessee Titans in Brian Daboll’s debut as head coach. Coming off a 4-13 season, the Giants knocked off the two-time defending AFC South champions on the road by rallying from a 13-0 halftime deficit behind a magnificent performance by a rejuvenated Saquon Barkley. It’s also probably why Daboll stood in the middle of the locker room after the game and reminded his team this was only one game, the first of 17 in the NFL regular season. It’s been a vicious cycle since Tom Coughlin led New York to its fourth Super Bowl title in February 2012.
