PITTSBURGH — And so the questions will begin: Are the Giants not what they seemed to be during their six-game winning streak, which expired unceremoniously in Pittsburgh on Sunday?
The Giants had been trouncing mostly laggards lately. On Sunday, when the level of opposition ramped up a notch, the Giants collapsed in a clumsy 24-14 loss to the Steelers. A bad day for the Giants (8-4) turned worse after the final whistle, when the team’s best player, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., suggested that the game’s officials had been so one-sided that they should not be allowed to work Giants games.
