Giants hire Ravens-linked duo to overhaul defense and special teams

The New York Giants have hired Ravens-connected coaches Dennard Wilson as defensive coordinator and Chris Horton as special teams coordinator/assistant head coach, reuniting with John Harbaugh’s staff strategy to boost the defense and kicking game.
