Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, the former Giants head coach, got a celebratory cooler of water dumped on him in the MetLife Stadium visitors’ locker room Sunday night.
That’s how few stops the Giants defense made in a 27-13 Week 1 dud defeat, the franchise’s fifth straight season opening loss.
A building full of hopeful Giants fans shook in disgust when Daniel Jones’ third quarter red zone fumble killed any hope of a comeback. And Saquon Barkley (10 carries, 26 yards) was a shell of himself, tentative in his first game back on his repaired ACL.
