The long-anticipated return of the New York Giants was marred by a largely uncompetitive football game that ended Sunday in a 27-13 Denver Broncos victory. Six of the Giants’ 13 points were scored on the last play of the game.
It was a disappointing display of football. The offense struggled to sustain drives, and the defense was abysmal in crucial situations. Teddy Bridgewater and Pat Shurmur nickel-and- dimed their way up and down the field; the secondary couldn’t cover long enough to allow the pass rush to materialize, and the Broncos’ offense seemed in sync all game.
