EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ben McAdoo’s honeymoon with the New York Giants is over.
After getting off to a 2-0 start, the rookie coach has seen his team lose three straight games and fall into last place in the NFC East.
The offense is having trouble scoring. Eli Manning seems a little off. The line has been inconsistent and the dynamic receiving trio of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard are not producing as expected.
That’s only half the problem.
The Giants invested a ton of money in the defense in the offseason and the returns are not matching the investment after five games.
