The Giants hosted the Panters in their final game at Giants Stadium. The 41-9 loss was a complete embarrassment. Coupled with Green Bays win over Seattle and Dallas victory over Washington, the loss eliminated the Giants from playoff contention for the first time in five years, something totally unexpected after a 5-0 start.
Jonathan Stewart rushed for a franchise-best 206 yards and the Panthers shredded New York’s defense for 416 yards, including 247 rushing. The sloppy Giants, who missed tackles all game, didn’t get a hand on Stewart on his cutback touchdown run.
Giants fans, who came expecting one great final effort at home, let the “boos” fly before heading home well before the game ended. |
