In a decisive move, the New York Giants have parted ways with defensive coordinator Shane Bowen following a string of late-game collapses, including a recent overtime loss to the Lions where they blew a significant lead. This change comes just hours after the team expressed confidence in Bowen, but after another disappointing fourth-quarter performance, head coach Mike Kafka indicated that it was the right time for a shift in strategy. Charlie Bullen, previously the outside linebackers coach, has been appointed as the interim defensive coordinator. The Giants hope that this coaching shake-up will help turn around a challenging season as they prepare to face the Patriots.
