The New York Giants welcomed both fans and the Denver Broncos back to MetLife Stadium on Sunday for the first regular season game of 2021.
As expected, it was a defensive battle early on with the Giants doing a bit more bending than Denver. The play-calling was suspect, the pass protection was less than stellar and Patrick Graham’s defense was unable to generate much pressure.
That trend continued into the second half — as did other negative trends from years past. Drops, turnovers, miscommunication, missed tackles…you name it.
In the end, the Broncos sent all those Giants fans home with their heads hanging.
