Giants hand Eagles playoff spot as Pat Shurmur firing looms

Sports

Pat Shurmur is expected to be fired as head coach of the Giants on Monday.

The anticipated end will come a day after Sunday’s 34-17 loss to the Eagles, a game played in the rain at MetLife Stadium with thousands of green-clad Eagles fans in the building. That sorry situation is a sign of the times for a franchise at rock-bottom, and changes are forthcoming.

The Eagles claimed the NFC East title with a record of 9-7. That the Giants in such a crummy division could not even sniff contention is a sign of how far down in the dumps they are.
