After dominating the first half a 23-17 loss the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, the New York Giants proceeded to earn just 30 yards in the second half.
The Eagles featured third-string receivers and a slew of tight ends to compensate for their lack of talent on offense, and that seemed to be enough to tackle a porous Giants defense who entered the game ranking 23rd in the league. The lack of resiliency from the entire team against an Eagles unit that was booed off the field earlier in the game was telling of head coach Pat Shurmur’s influence on his players.
