Monday night time’s recreation between the 10-2 and 2-10 groups went simply as we anticipated.
The New England Patriots gained their tenth consecutive recreation to cap Week 13, defeating the New York Giants (2-11), 33-15. Here is our speedy response to a “Monday Evening Soccer” blowout.
Key takeaway: The Giants have given up
There is no different option to put it. The Giants have stopped caring.
Late within the second half, whereas already trailing 27-7, interim head coach Mike Kafka elected towards going for it on a 4th-and-1, as a substitute taking a delay of recreation penalty and punting to the Patriots, who marched 67 yards in 5 performs to tack on a area aim as time expired within the first half.
The Giants have been criticized on-line and by ESPN NFL analyst Jason Kelce for the pathetic transfer.
“You are given a possibility to get some momentum going into half,” Kelce stated. “It is fourth-and-inches, prefer it’s barely something. I do not know why you would not attempt to get that, then get the ball popping out of half to make it a recreation,” he questioned at halftime.
ESPN analyst Mina Kimes and The Athletic’s Derrik Klassen have been amongst a number of who derided the choice on social media.
