Giants want answers after officiating debacle in loss

After every game, the Giants and every other NFL team submits plays into the league office from that week’s game, seeking clarification on calls and penalties. Coach Pat Shurmur calls it “a handful of things’’ in a typical week.

“I have a bigger handful this week,’’ he said Monday.

Indeed, the Giants were not happy with the officiating from Pete Morelli’s crew in Sunday’s 33-18 loss to the Saints.

There was a horse-collar tackle penalty on Janoris Jenkins that, upon replay, appeared to be the wrong call, as Jenkins hauled down the ball-carrier by the shoulder.
