Three former members of the New York Giants are reportedly 'destined' for head coaching interviews with the team.

This week, the Giants' offense faces a Lions defense that has been one of the best in the NFL despite injuries, and could have players return. Detroit’s defense is ranked fifth overall (291.8 yards/game), eighth against the run (99.7 yards/game), and eighth against the pass (192.1 yards/game).
