New York took a brutal loss at home to the Arizona Cardinals 26-7. Quarterback Daniel Jones, who just returned after a hamstring injury, was ineffective, as Cardinals linebacker and NJ native Haasan Reddick was in the Giants backfield almost as much as the QB was. Reddick recorded five sacks and three forced fumbles while completely destroying the Big Blue offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colt McCoy relieved Jones late, but got the same treatment from the Arizona defense. NY is now 5-8, and one game behind the 6-7 Washington Football Team for first place. While the Giants got beat, they were still better looking than the Jets, who got destroyed in Seattle 40-3. Gang Green is now 0-13, and just three losses from a winless season, and the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Seton Hall men\u2019s basketball team opened the Big East with a home win over St. John\u2019s 77-68. Leading SHU was Sandro Mamukelashvilli with a cool 32 points and nine rebounds. The Hall is now 4-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this is going on, the ladies of Seton Hall have also taken the court. The biggest victory so far this season was a 107-60 home rout over St. Peters. The lady Pirates also beat Wagner at home 93-53, but took a tough loss to Albany 71-66. So far, the star players for the team have been sophomore Mya Jackson, Mya Bembry, Lauren Parker Lane, and Alexia Allesch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In college football, Rutgers went on the road and beat Maryland 27-24 in overtime. RU is now 3-5 on the season and will likely finish against Nebraska at home. The Scarlet Knights may have struggled in football this year, but the men\u2019s basketball program has moved up in the Top 25 rankings once again to 19th in the nation after beating Syracuse 79-69.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By William Hathaway After winning four in a row and moving into first place in the NFC East, the Giants came back down to earth.
