Giants to open 2018 season vs. Jaguars

The New York Giants will open 2018 against a familiar individual. Tom Coughlin is coming back to East Rutherford in his second season as the executive VP of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Eli Manning (R) will see Tom Coughin in Jaguars garb in Week1

The Giants-Jaguars season opener will be the first home opener in Week 1 for the Giants since 2012, when the Giants squared-off with the Cowboys. The game will also be the first non-NFC East season opener for the Giants since 2010 when they began that season against the Carolina Panthers.

The Giants come into the season with a new look at head coach with Pat Shurmur and GM Dave Gettleman. Quarterback Eli Manning will still be under center, and he could have Saquon Barkley in the backfield if the Giants select him next week in the NFL Draft.

As for Jacksonville, they are coming off an appearance in the AFC Championship Game, and will bring back old-school uniforms to boot.

While the Giants get a reprieve from playing the Cowboys in Week 1, they will have to see Dallas in Week 2 on Sunday Night Football in Big-D. The Giants and Boys finish the season against one another in Week 17 at MetLife Stadium.

Inspite of the team going 3-13 last season, the NFL is not shying away from putting the Giants in the spotlight this season. The Giants will have at least four primetime games (at Dallas; Philly, at Atlanta, and at San Francisco). The game against Indianapolis could be a Saturday night game on the NFL Network.
