The New York Giants react to prime time football the way Dracula does a basket of garlic bread.
The G-Men played host to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football, but it was a 24-3 disaster that featured quarterback Daniel Jones hardly living up to his $160 million contract.
Seattle picked off Jones twice, including in the red zone for a touchdown. Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller caught three passes for 21 yards.
Cornerback Devon Witherspoon had a statement game with seven combined tackles, 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, a pass breakup, and an interception returned for a score. The Seahawks defense feasted on the Giants all evening.
Naturally Twitter was full of takes as a marquee franchise and Pete Carroll’s squad hooked up on Monday night. Here are some of the best reactions.

Pete Carroll's gum doesn't stand a chance with that sequence.

Peyton just said that Pete Carroll and the Seattle staff flew to Denver when Peyton took his free agent visit to Denver to meet with Elway. Peyton said he declined Pete’s invitation to get on the plane.
Maybe that’s out there but I hadn’t heard that before 😅

Geno throwing that ball away to avoid a sack is something Daniel Jones never does.

Eli keeps talking about Seahawks miscues being "sparks" towards turning the Giants' performance around, but the Giants just treat them as challenges to outdo those mistakes.
