GREEN BAY, Wis. — Ben McAdoo said the Giants were due for a “break out.” All they gave him were the same old breakdowns.
Despite facing a Packers defense that came into the game ranked 27th in passing yards allowed and playing without either of their starting cornerbacks, the Giants’ supposed high-powered attack was unable to exhibit any sign of potency. Instead, Eli Manning had to rush his throws because of pressure from the Packers defense, the receivers could never manage to get behind a secondary that lacked stars but was stacked up with bodies, and the Giants lost their third straight game, this one 23-16 to the Packers at Lambeau Field.
