Eli Manning returned to thunderous applause Monday night. Unfortunately, it didn’t last.
The (2-11) New York Giants dropped their ninth-straight game, falling by a final of 23-17 in overtime to the (6-7) Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.
It was a heartbreaking defeat. The Giants were hoping the return of Manning would lead them to a much-needed win. But instead, they keep finding new ways to lose, and now the best quarterback in the history of the franchise sports a regular-season record of 116-117.
After two shaky possessions to start the game, the offense caught fire on the third possession.
