As Zak DeOssie recalls, it was a “terrible ending’’ for a very specific reason: “Everything that could go wrong went wrong.’’
But, DeOssie added, “I wouldn’t necessarily call it shocking.’’
That is not the majority opinion.
“It was a shock to everybody,’’ Tom Quinn, the Giants’ special-teams coordinator, told The Post on Thursday after practice. “We kind of created those last year for ourselves.’’
Creating such mayhem drove the Giants into the darkness of a second consecutive 6-10 season, darkness that for now has brightened with the season-starting 20-19 victory over the Cowboys.
