“#Giants’ Jason Garrett back from COVID and set to face Cowboys<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A Giants-Cowboys elimination game<\/a> in Week 17 is nothing new to Jason Garrett.<\/p>\n

He was here once before, in 2011. The situation now is different because he\u2019s switched sides. The world is even more different.<\/p>\n

Garrett, the Giants offensive coordinator, returned last Sunday from a mandatory 10-day absence because of a positive test for COVID-19. He will call plays this Sunday against his old team in a game where the winner could steal the NFC East title and playoff berth away from Washington, but the loser is finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how it happ<\/a>ened,\u201d Garrett said of contracting coronavirus. \u201cThe people that are close to me have not tested positive. For whatever reason, it popped positive. But I\u2019m feeling fine, ready to go. I thought our guys did a good job in my absence, but it\u2019s fun to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens filled in for Garrett against his former team \u2014 the Browns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re sitting in a hotel room for 10 days by yourself, I think you get a little sluggish,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cBut, beyond that, I really didn\u2019t have any symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garrett\u2019s last game against Dallas \u2014 where he was Cowboys head coach for 10 seasons until an awkward dismissal last January \u2014 arguably was his finest hour in his current position. He pulled out all the stops in a Week 5 loss, including an end-around touchdown run by tight end Evan Engram and a two-point conversion pass to left tackle Andrew Thomas, on the way to a season-high 27 offensive points.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s a Garrett Revenge Game with oddly familiar circumstances. In 2011, a winner-take-all Giants-Cowboys season finale sent Garrett\u2019s Cowboys home and launched the Giants toward their last playoff run, culminating in Super Bowl XLVI. Nine years later, the Giants-Cowboys winner will make the playoffs if the Eagles beat Washington later Sunday night.<\/p>\n
