Seven games into the season, the New York Giants are fading fast, and their latest loss to the Philadelphia Eagles has left fans reeling. The Giants’ offense had its second straight no-show performance in a 28-3 loss to their division rivals that showed them just how much they miss star running back Saquon Barkley.
The loss was the Giants’ fourth consecutive at home, a dismal record that has sparked widespread concern among fans and critics alike. The team’s lack of production on offense has been a major factor in their poor start to the season, and it was on full display against the Eagles.
The Giants managed just three points in the entire game, a meager total that was eclipsed by the Eagles’ first quarter score alone. The Eagles’ dominant performance was fueled by their powerful offense, which sliced through the Giants’ defense with ease. The Eagles’ quarterback, Jalen Hurts, was particularly impressive, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another.
Meanwhile, the Giants’ offense was practically non-existent. Quarterback Daniel Jones was under constant pressure from the Eagles’ pass rush, and he struggled to complete even the simplest passes. The Giants’ running backs, Wayne Gallman and Devontae Booker, were unable to get anything going against the Eagles’ stout defense.
The Giants’ poor performance on offense was compounded by their inability to stop the Eagles’ running game. The Eagles’ running back, Miles Sanders, rushed for over 100 yards, including a number of big gains that left the Giants’ defense reeling.
As the Giants look to turn their season around, they will need to address their problems on offense. The return of Saquon Barkley from injury would certainly help, but even with their star running back, the Giants will need to find ways to better protect Daniel Jones and get the ball into the hands of their playmakers. Until then, the Giants will continue to struggle, and their fans will be left to wonder what could have been.
