Giants’ final five games huge for Kayvon Thibodeaux’s future
NY Post
The next five “meaningless” games actually could shape a lot of evaluations on Kayvon Thibodeaux and his future.
A season that began with Thibodeaux eyeing Michael Strahan’s NFL single-season sack record will end with Thibodeaux trying to catch somebody named Michael Hoecht (a Rams defensive tackle with three sacks) far down on the leaderboard.
Like pretty much everything else with the 2024 Giants, Thibodeaux’s season hasn’t gone as expected — from a quiet two-game start to suffering a broken scaphoid bone that required wrist surgery and caused him to miss five games just as he appeared to be heating up.
Thibodeaux registered at least a half-sack in three straight games before he was sidelined.
He has zero sacks in the two games since he returned, leaving his season total at two.
“Super important to finish strong,” Thibodeaux said. “Definitely hungry. There’s still more work out there, focused on trying to finish strong and keep having an impact.”

The Rangers do not play again until Friday when the Penguins come to the Garden, but the next three days will be the most critical of a season that is fast becoming a sinkhole.
During my vacation the past few weeks, a plugged-in agent told me it was his sense that the Mets were not playing at the top of the starting pitching market for Corbin Burnes and Max Fried.
Amazingly, the Knicks haven’t faced an Eastern Conference opponent with a winning record since October.
You don’t need to be a fortune teller — just a Giants fan well-versed in Murphy’s Law — to see the future headline now.
The Jets dropped their third straight game and eighth in their last nine on Sunday, a 26-21 loss to the Seahawks that sends them to 3-9 this season.
Bills fans maybe had a little too much fun in the snow Sunday night as Buffalo defeated the 49ers, 35-10.
The Mets have identified their next starting pitching project.
The Knicks reached the three-quarter pole of the basketball season Sunday night, and if they wanted to celebrate the occasion, they couldn’t have asked for a better patsy. Right now, the poor Pelicans are everyone’s favorite Homecoming Game, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram bedecked in sweaters and strapped to the injured list.
