Giants' Xavier McKinney played at Alabama and is not used to losing

Xavier McKinney will do something he has never had to do in his life on Sunday.

He’ll play in a meaningless football game.

There are plenty of players who have been with the Giants long enough to have had their share of games once the team has been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, as they were with Sunday’s loss. McKinney, though, is not one of them. In three years at Alabama he was in four losing games, total. He’s been in four losing four games this month with the Giants.

"It’s very difficult," the second-year safety said of dealing with so much losing.
