Giants predictably collapse in Eli Manning’s return

PHILADELPHIA – The Giants surprise no one.

No way, no how.

No matter where, when or how, they lose.

They exhumed Eli Manning for Monday night’s game against the Eagles, asking the 38-year old quarterback to fill in for injured rookie Daniel Jones. Manning had his moments, with two touchdown passes in the first half to rookie Darius Slayton, and the Giants built a 17-3 lead.

But they did not win, because they never win.

This time, they went the extra mile to lose, going into overtime before Carson Wentz put the Giants out of their misery with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz.
