Giants Snowed In by Rodgers and Packers
PACKERS 31 - GIANTS 13
About the only nice thing that happened Sunday at MetLife Stadium was the snow in the first quarter. Nothing says the holiday season than football in a snow globe. Other than that, there was not much else to root for for Giants fans, other than continue booing a horrid football team.
The G-Men were predictably run over by the Packers, Sunday as Aaron Rodgers picked apart Big Blue's leaky defense for four touchdowns in a 31-13 victory.
Meanwhile, Daniel Jones again struggled, tossing three interceptions as the Giants failed to answer three Green Bay touchdowns in the blowout defeat.
It was the typical tease Giants fans have grown accustomed to. Trailing 7-0, Jones engineered an 11-play, 71-yard drive, dashing through the snowfall en route to the tying score, an 18-yard pass from Jones to Sterling Shepherd.
It didn't take long for Rodgers and the Packers to respond. After scampering for a 15-yard gain on a key third and five, Rodgers found Allan Lazard from 37-yards out for a touchdown to put the Pack back on top 14-7.
How did the Giants respond? A critical interception by Jones on third and 10, killing the momentum.
Fast forward to the third quarter, and Aaron Rodgers was at it again, guiding Green Bay on a 14-play, 75-yard drive as he carved up the Giants defense, including passes of 25-yards and 17-yards to Devonte Adams, with the later serving as a touchdown that extended Green Bay's lead to 24-13.
What do the Giants do in response? You guessed it, another interception on a long third down. What is Pat Shurmur thinking putting his quarterback in such an untenable spot during an ice storm, no less. What a complete disaster.
The Packers, of course, turned the turnover into points when Rodgers found the ageless Marcedes Lewis in the end zone to put the game on ice, literally, 31-13.
What did the genius, Shurmur have to say afterwards, well, let's just say it wasn't scintillating. "At some point, we'll be good enough to win." Yes, at some point the Giants will be, when Shurmur is no longer the head coach.
