There usually are two different types of cushions inside a stadium where the Giants are playing.
The one fans sit on to give extra comfort to their bottoms. And the one opposing defenses keep building into their game plan to stymie the Giants' passing offense.
They intersected in the third quarter Sunday when the home crowd stood to boo the Giants offense for not being able to move the ball against a Saints defense designed to keep the action in front of a vulnerable secondary.
"They played a lot of soft zone," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said after a 33-18 loss to the Saints.
