The New York Giants lost in crushing and heartbreaking fashion on Thursday night, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles, 22-21. at Lincoln Financial Field.
For a team that hast lost so frequently in recent years, you would think the organization and fan base would be numb. But this one is going to sting and it’s going to sting for quite some time.
Here’s a look at the snap counts that attributed to the Giants’ sixth loss of the season.
Offensive snaps: 60
Defensive snaps: 81
Special teams snaps: 26
Sterling Shepard saw an impressive 46 snaps in his return, which dwarfed all other receivers not named Darius Slayton, while rookie offensive tackle Matt Peart took just six snaps after registering 25-plus in Week 6.
On the defensive side of the ball, injuries forced linebacker Devante Downs and safety Nate Ebner into increased roles. Cornerback Corey Ballentine and defensive back Madre Harper also saw between 21-30% of the defensive snaps, which did not play out well.
