The Giants knew exactly what was coming and they couldn’t stop it.
That, above anything else in Sunday’s moribund 17-0 home loss to the Titans was the most damning element to the defeat. There are few things in sports more insulting than knowing exactly what an opponent is going to do against you and you allowing it to happen.
Titans running back Derrick Henry was coming off of last week’s 238-yard rushing performance with four touchdowns against the Jaguars. It was cold and rainy at MetLife Stadium. And the Titans are always a run-first offense that tries not to depend on quarterback Marcus Mariota’s arm to win.
