Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale hopes to stay with the Giants next season

Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale downplayed a report that his relationship with New York Giants coach Brian Daboll has soured, saying he hopes to return next season. Speaking for the first time since FOX insider Jay Glazer reported roughly two weeks ago there was tension between the two coaches and he might be fired, Martindale said Friday the only thing that has changed between he and Daboll is the Giants' record. New York is 4-8 heading into Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers (6-6) at MetLife Stadium.
