Giants Distribute '1-0' T-Shirts as Reminder to Focus on One Game at a Time

At the direction of head coach John Harbaugh, the New York Giants distributed black T-shirts featuring a "1-0" slogan late last week. The shirts serve as a reminder for the organization to focus on one game at a time. The shirts were unveiled during Wednesday's practice, and Harbaugh, general manager Joe Schoen, and other front office and coaching staff members wore them on Thursday. "1-0," Harbaugh stated. "That’s the answer to your question right there. That’s the point. That’s what we’re doing." Defensive tackle D.J. Reader, an 11-year veteran, commented on the shirts, saying, "I always like a new T-shirt. They don’t matter necessarily, but it’s always a good reminder when you see it. You know what it means, we’ve talked about it, and it’s a good reminder of checking you back to reality: ‘Let’s go 1-0 this week.’" Reader emphasized the importance of focusing on the present, saying, "One week at a time, one day at a time, one play at a time. You have to continue to win in the moment. There are 14 games left, but we play one game this week. We’re not thinking about two games ahead, three games ahead. The ‘1-0’ is going 1-0 each week." Reader, who has a background as a former baseball pitcher, noted that the win-loss record is significant. Safety Jevon Holland was recognized as NFC Defensive Player of the Month after achieving three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. Holland had a notable turnaround from his previous season, where he had only one takeaway. LT Andrew Thomas (groin) did not practice for the second consecutive day, differing from last week when he took one day off, returned, and played. RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (knee), CB Deonte Banks (calf), and safety Tyler Nubin (calf) were limited in practice.
