GREEN BAY, Wis. — While Odell Beckham Jr. is seen as the star, Victor Cruz and rookie Sterling Shepard are the other two usually formidable links of the Giants’ receiving trio.
The three entered Sunday night’s game against the Packers with a 811 combined receiving yards, the most of any trio in the NFL.
But Cruz and Shepard likely would just as soon forget their night at Lambeau Field, which ended with a 23-16 Green Bay victory, the Giants’ third consecutive loss.
Despite the Packers playing without their two starting cornerbacks, Sam Shields and Damarious Randall, Shepard was Eli Manning’s target seven times but managed only two catches for 14 yards.
