The New York Giants will wrap up the 2025-26 season this afternoon against divisional rival, the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite a 3-13 record, the Giants are not treating today’s finale as anything less than a normal game. That means all starters, including QB Jaxson Dart, will play against the Cowboys, and draft position is not top of mind. Going into today’s game, they’re projected to have the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys will also play their final game of the season today as they missed the playoffs. They’ve won their past nine games against the Giants and are looking to extend that to 10 today.
