When Washington Football Team [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/washington-football-team/] (then Washington Redskins) quarterback Alex Smith broke his leg in two places on November 18th, 2018, not many expected him to make a comeback. After initial surgery on the injury, things took a turn for the worse when Smith developed life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis that resulted in sepsis. The former Kansas City Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/] quarterback underwent 17 additional surgeries in order to save his leg and his career. Smith spent a lot of weekends at the hospital (4 hospital stays over a period of 9 months). Doctors told him that he would require amputation above his right knee. However, they managed to perform skin grafts to save his knee. Smith further underwent an operation, transferring muscle from his left quadriceps to his right in order to save his leg. He wore an external fixation device right up until the start of the 2020 offseason. Now, almost 2 years after he suffered his career-altering injury, Smith is ready to make his first start for Washington.

Ron Rivera’s boys play the Matthew Stafford-led Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Sunday. Smith has been cleared to start after Kyle Allen underwent ankle surgery earlier this week. The 36-year-old veteran has already featured in 2 games for Washington this season. He has thrown for 362 yards with 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. Smith’s return to the NFL is nothing short of a miracle. Regardless of the outcome of today’s game, the former NFL number one draft pick is an inspiration to many. We hope that there are a few more chapters left in Alex Smith’s remarkable NFL journey.

<h2 style="text-align: center">New York Giants 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The New York Giants are the oldest professional football team from the New York-New Jersey region. They <a href="http://teamnameorigin.com/nfl/nickname/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shared</a> a name with the baseball team, New York Giants for 32 seasons. Following the Baseball team's move to the West Coast, the New York Giants became the only team with the name in the region. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404606" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201009122957/New_York_Giants_logo.svg.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="1240" />
The franchise achieved instant success and claimed the NFL Championship in their 3rd season. In the 1958 season, the New York Giants played their part in what is dubbed as 'The Greatest Game Ever Played'. They claimed the NFL Eastern Championship and were part of the first-ever season-ending game that entered overtime. 
After 1964, the franchise spent 18 years without being able to reach the Playoffs. During this time, <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Giants</a> moved out of New York in favor of a football field in New Jersey ahead of the 1976 NFL season. Their time away molded them and they made it to the Playoffs consistently throughout the 80s.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404595" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201009122559/bill.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="736" />
In 1986, the team finished with the NFL's top prize for the first time in 30 seasons. They achieved the honor under Bill Parcells. The New York Giants had a staunch defensive unit that got branded 'Big Blue Wrecking Crew'. 
The 2020 season saw quarterback Daniel Jones don the hat of starting quarterback after the retirement of longtime New York Giants quarterback <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/eli-manning/">Eli Manning</a>. The New York Giants finished last season at rock bottom of their division. They will have their work cut out against formidable NFC East rivals i.e. Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Football Team.

<h2 style="text-align: center">New York Giants Owner Achievements</h2>
John Mara and Steve Tisch <a href="https://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/164371/new-york-giants-ownership-at-a-glance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">serve</a> as co-owners of the New York Giants.

The previous owner, Wellington Mara, sold half the team to the Tisch family in 1991. As a result, Steve Tisch serves as co-owner. The Mara-Tisch duo holds important positions in the franchise, too. Tisch serves as chairman while Mara serves as the New York Giants President. It is under their tenure that the team left the Giants <a href="https://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/giants-stadium/#:~:text=From%20their%20inception%20in%201925,with%20baseball's%20New%20York%20Yankees.&amp;text=Named%20after%20the%20team%2C%20Giants,circled%20the%20entire%20playing%20field." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stadium</a> and moved to the MetLife Stadium. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">New York Giants Achievements</h2>
The New York Giants are one of the strongest teams in professional football based on their success. They know what it takes to rise to the top and has won 8 season-ending championships. 4 of these were Super Bowl titles. They are the only franchise to hold an unbeaten record against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404596" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201009122613/d-5.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" />
The New York Giants have emerged as the top team in their conference on 11 occasions. Furthermore, the ‘Big Blue’ have won their divisional title 16 times. However, they haven’t tasted success ever since their astounding run to the Vincent Lombardi Trophy during the 2011 NFL season. 
The franchise has made it to the Playoffs 33 times, with only one of these coming since their latest Super Bowl triumph in 2012. 
Only Y. A. Tittle (1963) and Lawrence Taylor (1986) have claimed the NFL regular season <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/ap-nfl-mvp-award.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MVP</a> as part of the New York Giants. 
Despite starting the 2020 season 0-5 for the second time in 4 years, the Giants improved on their 4-12 record from the previous season. The New Jersey-based organization racked up a 6-10 record and finished second in the NFC East but failed to qualify for the Playoffs.

<h2 style="text-align: center">New York Giants Logo</h2>
The New York Giants have sported a variety of <a href="https://sportslogohistory.com/new-york-giants-primary-logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logos</a> during their 90+ years in the ranks of professional football. Their 1945 logo features the name they used to distinguish themselves from the baseball side. 
It displays the New York skyline with a quarterback positioned as though he is going to throw the ball. The orange background is striking. 
Five seasons later, they switched from an oval to a circle. The quarterback is clad in the white and blue colors that form the Giants' uniforms, even in 2020. A red background helps the jersey colors standout. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404600" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201009122714/New-York-Giants-Logo-History.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1139" />
In 1956, the New York Giants played at the home of the Yankees. To symbolize the move, they showed a quarterback towering over the famed baseball arena. The logo has a blue tone. 
In 1960, the franchise went for a simple logo with the letters NY stenciled in dark blue. The design lasted for 14 NFL seasons before the franchise opted for a glitzy logo with the white tracing of the letter 'N' and 'Y' for the 1975 NFL season.
For the next 23 NFL campaigns, the New York Giants spelled out their team name in blue with a bright red outline. At the turn of the millennium, the franchise changed things around once more. They dug up their logo from the 1960 to 1974 NFL season. In this version, the franchise added a red outline of the initials of the city they are named after and darkened the blue font. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">2022 Sponsors</h2>
Woodridge by Robert Mondavi became the official wine partner of the New York Giants along with the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears. As part of the deal, Woodridge brought its award-winning wines to some of the biggest consumer arenas through off-site marketing activations. Moreover, Invisalign also became the official aligner sponsor of the NFL and the Giants.
The middle of the 2020 season brought a multi-year deal between DraftKings and the Giants making them the official Sports Betting and Daily Fantasy operator of the team, The arrangement grants DraftKings access to official Giants marks and logos giving them ways to engage on all DraftKings platforms.
