New York was riding as high as a two-win team could when it was fresh off embarrassing the Eagles in Week 6 and building a 19-point lead on the Broncos in the first three quarters of last week’s game. But across the last quarter of that game and Week 8, the Giants defense surrendered 71 points, quarterback Jaxson Dart was pressured 19 times (and sacked six times), and running back Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome, season-ending ankle injury. Whatever hopes existed that the Giants would be a frisky playoff competitor have vanished, and the schedule isn’t getting any easier from here.
