The Giants are 1-5 on the season, and Eli Manning is persona non grata in the locker room after an abysmal start to the season, following a terrible 2017 campaign that saw him get benched. Newly signed wide receiver and bleach enthusiast Odell Beckham Jr. has been leading the charge with calls to refurbish a stagnant offense that ranks No. 27 in the NFL averaging under 20 points per game.
