Consider this an elimination game for any thoughts of rejoining the NFC playoff picture.
The Giants have lost three straight and 18 of their last 22 regular-season games.
“Teams fight through adversity, and it’s in the Giants’ DNA to pull this thing out,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “I’ve seen it, I’ve studied the history of it, and I like the locker room that we’ve assembled.
“I’m impressed with the guys that we have in the locker room, and I know they’re going to fight. I watched the games just like you have and coached the games: These guys fight and these guys have enthusiasm. We just haven’t executed, and I’ll keep saying that until we do.”
Both Manning and Ryan have been under fire, but their organizations are defending them.
Shurmur on Manning: “We believe in Eli.”
Falcons coach Quinn on Ryan: “He’s playing at a high level. It may not show up maybe at a 23-, a 27-gain, but however, the right decisions to go with the ball at the right time. That part of his game is really intact.”
