Stock up, down after Giants’ 23-17 loss to Eagles

Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14?

Stock up: Oshane Ximines

The rookie pass rusher has been rather quiet in his first season, but on Monday night, he made his presence felt big time.

Ximines sacked Carson Wentz twice and had several key stops needed for the Giants on defense.

Games like this are good building blocks for a young player to learn from and go from. And given the Giants desperate need for pass rushers to emerge, it would be great if Ximines could emerge a bit as one after this performance.

Stock down: Pat Shurmur

This loss really may be the final nail in the coffin for the head coach.

The Giants had this game. They were leading 17-3 at halftime. And then the Giants decided to give the game to the Eagles.

No adjustments were made to stop Philadelphia. Darius Slayton suddenly became a ghost. And the Giants reverted back to the team that lost nine games in a row after a beautiful first half.

That falls at the feet of Shurmur, who may be a dead coach walking for the final three weeks of the season and could lead to him being dismissed at the end of the season.
