Giants officially eliminated from 2017 NFL playoffs | How it happened

The Giants are done.

Officially.

The Giants are off for the holiday weekend, but they were still formally eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, according to @NFLScenarios. Their tragic numbers came in when the Falcons thumped the Buccaneers, 34-20, and the Panthers beat the Jets, 35-27.

Carolina's win was the second of the bunch. To add insult to injury, it came at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

The Giants missing the playoffs this season has been a foregone conclusion, of course, for weeks now. They started the season 0-5 and stand at 2-9 on the year after their 20-10 Thanksgiving night loss to the Redskins.
