The New York Giants suffered a historic loss on Sunday, falling to the Dallas Cowboys 40-0 in a shutout that was the worst in the series’ history. The Giants were unable to get anything going on offense, as they were held to just 150 yards of total offense and failed to score a single point.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, were able to move the ball at will, with quarterback Dak Prescott throwing for three touchdowns and running back Ezekiel Elliott rushing for two more. The Cowboys defense also played well, holding the Giants to just four first downs and forcing four turnovers.
The loss was a particularly painful one for the Giants, who had been playing well in recent weeks and had been hoping to make a playoff push. Instead, they now find themselves at 4-9 and out of the playoff picture.
The loss also marked the end of an era for the Giants, as it was their last game under head coach Pat Shurmur. Shurmur had been with the team since 2018 and had led them to a 9-23 record in his two seasons.
The loss was a reminder of how far the Giants have fallen since their Super Bowl victory in 2011. They have now gone eight straight seasons without making the playoffs, and this latest loss was a stark reminder of how far they still have to go to get back to their winning ways.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, are now 8-5 and in control of their own destiny in the NFC East. They will look to build on this win and make a run at the division title and a spot in the playoffs.
It was a tough day for the Giants, but they will look to regroup and finish the season strong. They will look to get back on track next week when they take on the Washington Redskins.
