The New York Giants received another butt whooping on Sunday. This time, it came at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Giants were thoroughly decimated, 37-21, at SoFi Stadium on Sunday and were dropped to 4-9 on the season. There was very little positive to come from the game, although one bright spot was Saquon Barkley, who ran hard.

The Giants were without starting quarterback Daniel Jones again but were saved the indignity of starting the very green Jake Fromm when Mike Glennon cleared the concussion protocol on Friday.

It didn’t really matter. The Giants did not put up much of a fight. They can’t score on offense and now they can’t seem to stop the opposition from scoring.

Zach Wilson and the Jets offense were expected to struggle.

And on Sunday, without their best receivers and rushers, combined with some pretty bad play execution from Wilson, the Saints beat up on the Jets, who lost 30-9.

This was an opportunity to see Wilson rise to the challenge of elevating the talent around him. That’s a quality quarterbacks will have to show throughout their career. It’s a tough ask, especially for a rookie quarterback, and Wilson could not do it.

Wilson went 19-of-42 for 202 passing yards, with zero touchdowns, and the Jets to just nine points.

The Saints’ game plan was not hard to figure out. They leaned on Alvin Kamara and the run game. The Jets could not stop it for large chunks of the day. Kamara had 27 carries for 120 yards and a 16-yard touchdown. QB Tayson Hill did not have to do much with his arm, but ran for two touchdowns, including a 44-yarder with 1:07 left in the game.

The New York Mets are in the midst of a thorough search for the ball club’s next manager, and developments suggest a front-runner may have emerged.

Buck Showalter interviewed with Mets brass, and it appears the veteran skipper made a great first impression.

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that Showalter interviewed very well during a meeting conducted via Zoom.

“They were pretty impressed with Buck today,” said a person with knowledge of Showalter’s interview. “It went really well.”

Current Dodgers bench coach and one-time Oakland Athletics manager Bob Geren also interviewed with the Mets.
