New York Giants fandom is a visceral hodgepodge of ups and downs. It’s an experience that can send your spirit into the stratosphere off the high of a Superbowl win. Or, it can emotionally bury you six feet deep into the earth in the form of a historically horrible season. For New York Giants fans, the latter applies following the context of the 2024 season.
