The New York Giants added another loss to the New York Jets’ sorry recent run.
The team announced Tuesday it has signed defensive coordinator Patrick Graham to an extension.
The news comes after the Jets, fresh from a 2-14 season, had sought permission to interview the Giants’ DC for their head-coaching vacancy.
