WFAN’s Mike Francesa destroys Giants after 2nd-half collapse in loss to Eagles | Pat Shurmur’s ‘totally cluel - NJ.com

No one was more unhappy with the New York Giants’ second-half collapse on Monday night than WFAN’s Mike Francesa.

The Giants headed into the locker room at halftime with a 17-3 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field. But the Eagles scored the final 20 points of the game to pull out the win in overtime, 23-17.

The loss was the Giants’ ninth straight, and it didn’t sit well with Francesa, who directed most of his anger at head coach Pat Shurmur on Twitter.

Here are some of the more ugly stats from Monday’s loss, courtesy Giants PR:

• The Giants lost for the second time this season when leading at halftime. On Nov. 24 in Chicago, they led after two quarters, 7-3, but lost, 19-14.
• The Giants did not score a second-half point for the second time this season. On Oct. 10 at New England, they trailed at the half, 21-14, and lost, 35-14.
• The Giants owned the ball for just 21:59, roughly half of Philadelphia’s time of possession of 42:51. It was the Giants’ second-lowest possession time of the season (20:24 at New England).
• The Giants fell to 2-11 with their ninth consecutive loss, tying the franchise record set in the first nine games of the 1976 season.
• The Giants have lost six in a row and 10 of their last 11 games against Philadelphia. The teams meet again on Dec. 29 in MetLife Stadium.
• The Giants have lost six consecutive games in Lincoln Financial Field.
