For the past two weekends, the Giants were the only NFL team assigned to sit back and watch, with no responsibility to take the field and play a game.
All good things have to come to an end.
The schedule demanded the Giants come out of their semi-hibernation and actually continue their season.
That was too bad for the Giants.
When they weren’t playing, they couldn’t lose and couldn’t look bad along the way.
They played Monday night and they looked bad. Very bad.
In a season rapidly filling up with embarrassing performances, the Giants added to the pile another dud, as they were dominated every which way in a 24-3 loss to the Seahawks at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants were never really in it and they were shoved completely out of it late in the third quarter.
Trailing 14-3 and driving, Daniel Jones from the Seattle 5-yard line threw to the wrong side of Parris Campbell, the ball sailing into the hands of rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon.
It was off to the races from there.
Witherspoon, in stride from the 3-yard line, sped 97 yards with the interception return for a touchdown, cutting inside Jones at the Seattle 44-yard line, leaving the quarterback flat on the turf as the Seahawks went ahead 21-3.
It was altogether fitting.
The Giants have fallen and they can’t get up.
They are 1-3 and face back-to-back road games at Miami and Buffalo, with their season in free-fall.
