PHILADELPHIA — The fire is out. The flickering flame of an Impossible Dream has been extinguished.
There will be no Night of the Living Dead redux.
Buried once and for all instead.
No running the table. No Mara Christmas for the New York Football Giants.
It was only a tease, a two-game tease from 1-7 to 3-7 that gave them the illusion of hope that they could rise from the rubble of a garbage season in a garbage division.
Woedell Beckham Jr. instead.
In truth, the 3-8 Giants, 25-22 losers to the Eagles, proved one last time they do not belong anywhere near the playoffs.
