Giants news, 11/12: Joe Judge’s bye week message to Giants, more

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Joe Judge’s bye week message to Giants

The Giants are heading into their bye with a small sliver of hope for the playoffs. Joe Judge noted that Andrew Thomas and Saquon Barkley are still on track to be healthy for the team’s next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and left his team with the following message:

“We talked about it this morning. Just make the right decisions. We talked about a few of the instances that happened this year and last year around the league. Look, it’s natural for a lot of guys to kind of let their hair down this time of year. You get a few days off, you step away from a stressful situation for a couple days, you kick back. You’ve got to make sure that you put yourself in the right surroundings and you make the right decisions … we’re not exempt to consequences and we’re not exempt from tragedies, so we have to understand that and make the right decisions.”
