CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At a time when most of the rest of the league is setting records and making a mockery of defense, Eli Manning’s Giants appear to be operating at the bottom of Mount Everest, waging the mother of all uphill battles to even find the end zone.
There are young gunslingers taking the league by storm — Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City and Jared Goff in Los Angeles, to name a couple — and even old gunslingers — Drew Brees in New Orleans and Tom Brady in New England, to name a couple.
And Manning and the Giants have long forgotten how to score 30 lousy points.
