This X-factor Could Help Make Giants a Playoff Team This Season

The New York Giants revamped a roster that finished 6-11 a year ago, but one non-player addition made by the team could very well be the team's X-factor this upcoming season. Martindale not so famously resigned from his post in January following an alleged fallout with head coach Brian Daboll, setting off a lengthy search for his replacement. Martindale's Giants defense finished 25th in total defense and 17th in points allowed last season, leaving room for improvement.
