Phil Simms believes Giants have talent to compete for playoffs

Phil Simms expressed optimism about the New York Giants' chances in the NFC during an interview with Newsday. The retired quarterback emphasized that the team has a strong lineup, particularly on the defensive line and at linebacker, and noted key players like quarterback Malik Nabers. With new head coach John Harbaugh at the helm, the Giants have revamped their coaching staff and infused young talent, which Simms believes will help the team win even without their best performances. The Giants are set to open their 2026 preseason against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium this Saturday afternoon.
