The New York Giants fell to 2-10 Sunday with a 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders, but the winners outnumbered the losers this week.
Despite the difficult week, lowlighted by the benching of Eli Manning, this didn’t feel like the depressing loss like others this season.
Perhaps because the offense proved that Eli Manning wasn’t the reason for the Giants’ record, or perhaps because the Giants had some bright spots.
The rookie tight end needed a big game after a pair of stinkers over the last two weeks, and he got that Sunday in Oakland.
