The New York Giants entered Week 11 with a 7-2 record and took on a Detroit Lions team many thought they would dispatch with ease. But that’s not what happened.
With winds swirling at more than 30 MPH, the Giants looked like a shell of themselves. Sloppy play, self-inflicted wounds and injuries would quickly become the story of the game. Even Daniel Jones, who had not thrown an interception since Week 3, turned the ball over leading to seven Detroit points. And then he tossed another.
It was a Murphy’s Law sort of day for the Giants. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. And with a short turnaround before a Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys, Big Blue fell to 7-3 on the season.
There was nothing redeeming about Sunday’s performance.
