Glennon faces wrist surgery as club limps toward end of season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants’ season can’t get over fast enough.

A campaign that started with the hope secondyear coach Joe Judge and his team would build off a six-win first season and get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 has turned into a massive disappointment.

The Giants are 4-12 after Sunday’s embarrassing 29-3 loss to the Bears in Chicago. They have five straight, double-digits losses by a combined 141-49. The three points were the fewest New York has scored in a game since Judge took over. It marked the third time in five games the offense failed to score a touchdown in a game with quarterback Daniel Jones sidelined with a neck injury.

Not only did the Giants lose but Judge disclosed Monday quarterback Mike Glennon hurt his left wrist — his non-throwing hand — and will require surgery. He will miss the final game.

All that is left is for the Giants is to play Washington on Sunday. It’s an appropriate opponent. The teams met on a Thursday night in Week 2 and the Giants lost 30-29 on a field goal by Dustin Hopkins on the final play. He actually missed the kick the first time but got a second chance because Dexter Lawrence went offside.

That’s how things went this season. There were mistakes on and off the field (free agency), a multitude of injuries, especially on the offensive line, and players having bad seasons.

There were many steps backward instead of forward, and there will be consequences.

Hired in December 2017 to turn around the struggling franchise, general manager Dave Gettleman probably will be gone after a fourth straight season with double-digit losses.

The way the team has finished, one has to wonder whether co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch are having major concerns about Judge’s future. If he is fired, it would be the third straight coach they sent packing after two seasons, joining Ben Mcadoo and Pat Shurmur.

Judge insisted after Sunday’s game that he has a hard-working, professional team that is on track to turn things around. While that’s fine to say, watching this team — which lost its sixth straight on the road — hurts the eyes.

The defense hasn’t been bad. The Bears scored 29 points, 19 courtesy of the offense and special teams. The first 14 followed turnovers, and the TD drives covered 2 and 24 yards. When returner Pharoh Cooper botched a kickoff late in the first half, it led to a safety and field goal in the final 52 seconds.

Giving up 10 points in the NFL is a good game for any defense.
