The New York Giants continue to find new and inventive ways to be humiliated each and every week, and they remained true to form on Sunday with a 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Not only did the Giants drop their fourth game of the season, but they lost quarterback Daniel Jones to a neck injury in the process. They’re also on pace to set the NFL’s all-time record for sacks allowed in a single season.
Things have devolved to such a degree that Giants fans are now publicly celebrating injuries to the team’s players.
Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ most recent defeat.
Offensive snaps: 72
Defensive snaps: 54
Special teams snaps: 26
Throughout the week, Giants head coach Brian Daboll suggested that wide receiver Sterling Shepard would see an increased role. That did not happen as the veteran took just 20 offensive snaps and was targeted twice.
Fellow wide receiver Parris Campbell, one of the team’s prized offseason additions, also saw a sharp decline in his role after a few rough weeks. He took just 16 offensive snaps.
Defensively, linebacker Isaiah Simmons is now a full-time player. He took 100 percent of the snaps on Sunday in the absence of Micah McFadden, and his role is likely to remain a significant one.
