The New York Giants had been
playing miserable football most of the season.
They did play well against Dallas though in the last game and were
looking forward to a so called softer schedule for the final few weeks. They went into Jacksonville and lost to the 1
win Jaguars by a score of 25-24. The
Giants had scored on their first three possessions and held a 21-0 lead. They were winning 21-3 at halftime but the
second half was a different story. The
Giants statistically pretty much dominated the game but they fumbled the ball
in the end zone and then later in the game they fumbled and the Jaguars
returned it 41 yards for a touchdown.
The offense didn't play so well in the second half and the turnovers cost
them dearly.
Eli Manning was 24-34 for 247 yards
and a touchdown. Rashad Jenning led the
rushing attack with 26 carries and 91 yards.
He also had two rushing touchdowns.
Odell Beckham Jr. led the receivers with seven catches for 90
yards.
The difference in this game was the
turnovers with the Giants have three of them and the Jaguars none. The Giants defense was pretty good in this
game, they had seven sacks. They haven't
been able to get much pressure on the quarterback all year.
The Giants have now lost seven
straight games after actually being 3-2 after five games. This was their low point though as the
Jaguars had one win coming into this game.
The Giants in some of these games though have played a very good first
half and then never seem to make any adjustments while the other teams do and
are able to win the game in the second half.
The Giants are not going anywhere and the only positive could be a high
draft pick. They will most likely change
the coaching staff now and maybe even the general manager. The big question will be what happens to
first year offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.
The Giants will head to Tennessee next week to take on the Titans.
