The New York Giants’ harsh, yet justified firing of Pat Shurmur

The date was Sunday, Dec. 29, 2019. A cold and wet day, with the raindrops quickly coming down and increasing their aggression as time went on. In East Rutherford, NJ (MetLife Stadium to be exact), the New York Giants took on the division rival-Philadelphia Eagles.

It was a meaningless game for Big Blue, one that only mattered for their position in the following spring’s draft. But for Philly, a win was needed. A loss, paired with a Dallas Cowboys win would ensure “America’s Team” would be heading to the playoffs.

That being said, the Eagles would lock up the NFC East division and their third consecutive playoff berth.
