(CBSNewYork/CBS Local) — The New York Giants started the season 0-2, losing 35-17 to the Dallas Cowboys in the season opener and 28-14 to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. Neither game was as close as the score suggests.
Eli Manning’s stats so far aren’t horrible, but they aren’t great either. More to the point, they’re a little misleading. For example, he went 30-44 passing, with 306 yards and a touchdown, against the Cowboys. But much of that production came as the Giants abandoned Saquon Barkley and the run in a hopeless attempt to keep up with a Cowboys offense that just kept scoring.
