 Veteran catcher Joe Judge said he is truly enjoying a dream season with the Giants, and not just because of the team's success.


The New York Giants fired Joe Judge following what owner John Mara called the lowest moment in his lifelong association with the club.
 In a stunning move Tuesday, the New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge after a three-game losing streak, bitterly disappointing fans and continuing the team's long-running drama.
I want to personally thank both the team and the entire organization for giving me my first opportunity as a head coach in the National Football League," Judge said in the statement. "Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation that I have for everyone involved with our football program, starting with the Wilpons and John Mara and Steve Tisch, Jerry Reese and the whole Giants staff, as well as our players and coaches.
Judge, who was the defensive coordinator for the Super Bowl XLVI Giants, was elevated to interim head coach when Tom Coughlin stepped down on Dec. 4, 2016. In two years as head coach, Judge led the Giants to a 5-11 record.

Judge, who was criticized for some of his practice habits, like making plyers run laps, also lauded current Big Blue players for battling. "It's a great day to be a part of something special," he said. "I want the players to know I appreciate everything they did for the program. This is not about me and it never has been. It's about those 24 guys that stepped on this field."

 New York Jets coach Adam Gase didn't hesitate to accept blame for a fourth-down decision that cost the team a win.  It all started when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit receiver Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown with 9 minutes 53 seconds remaining to give New York a 24-17 lead over the Buccaneers. But instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called for a running play that left more than four minutes on the clock. When Schottenheimer called timeout after Holmes scored, he tried to explain his actions. The Jets' fourth-quarter decision to not have quarterback Sam Darnold run the play on fourth-and-2 against the Patriots came from a directive by offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur that Darnold should throw the ball instead of run on the play. But LaFleur "looked around and saw four guys in formation," he said in a news conference Monday, referring to safety Duron Harmon, center David Andrews and both tackles. "

 Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos. For a veteran making his third consecutive start at quarterback, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has no expectations for himself in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lock has struggled in his two starts, averaging a respectable but unspectacular 6.4 yards per attempt. And for all of the criticism that some of his decisions on Sunday drew—namely, throwing a fade to a double-covered Tyrell Williams down 20-0 late—those came against an all-pro interior that only allowed 115 rushing yards in total, 49 yards from scrimmage from Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined and still recorded three sacks. Lock played well enough to win, and if the Broncos exploit their advantages agains. Broncos rookie QB Drew Lock drew favorable comparisons to fellow former Missouri standout and current Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes. But the 2019 second-round pick was the clear third rival to Chad Kelly for the No. 2 r
