The New York Giants have been a bad football team this season. And things reached a new low on Sunday, when they were humiliated by the Cowboys.
The Giants have been on the receiving end of a slew of blowouts this season, including a 40-0 loss to Dallas in week one. However, Sunday’s humiliating performance may have been the worst.
When discussing the largest blowouts, most people refer to the point differential. Total yardage for each team is arguably a better metric to judge a game’s competitiveness in a blowout. And the Giants’ figures on Sunday were not encouraging. Examine it out.
Yikes. The final yardage totaled 640-172. 172 total yards of offense isn’t great, but it happens a few times a season. But allowing 640 yards on defense? That is awful. And, unlike the Giants’ offense, the Giants’ defense is in good shape.
The only reason the score was as “close” as it was was due to two Cowboys interceptions that terminated drives on which they would have likely scored.
Unfortunately for G-Men supporters, the team only has seven more games this season. With Tommy DeVito expected to be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season, the Giants offense will be historically bad.
Fortunately for Giants supporters, the team’s current record of 2-8 has pushed them up to the second choice in the 2024 NFL Draft if the season ended today. The franchise certainly needs a franchise quarterback, and picking there would offer them a chance to select either Drake Maye or Caleb Williams from the University of North Carolina.
Still, Giants supporters will be disappointed after watching their team lose twice in blowouts to their hated rivals in Dallas.
The employment of head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen appear to be secure. However, they face a lengthy rebuilding process.
