That was the best they could do? The NY Giants took on the Eagles on Sunday at MetLife and virtually nothing went right for the offense. The defense, led by Dexter Lawrence, did everything they could do to keep things tight, but in the end, it wasn't enough.

New York has now lost back-to-back games after the memorable upset victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The offense was brutal in the 28-3 loss to Philly, which now has even more people calling for Drew Lock to take over full time - he replaced Daniel Jone late in the fourth quarter. In this piece, we take a look at the five individuals who let this team down the most:

5. LT Joshua Ezeudu

We almost feel bad for Joshua Ezeudu. He was drafted to be a guard by the Giants, but due to injuries, he was forced to the outside. We saw how much he struggled at left tackle last season filling in for Andrew Thomas. Now, with AT out for the season, Ezeudu has stepped in once again to protect Daniel Jones' blindside.

Things went about as poorly as you could have imagined. Plain and simple, Ezeudu did not look good against the Philly offensive line. The first sack he gave up on the day was inexcusable. He got beat badly and didn't have a chance in keeping Jones on his feet.

In the preseason, Ezeudu proved that he had no business playing left tackle, yet Brian Daboll and Co. continue to put him out there. Losing Thomas for the year was brutal and we are all seeing just how much his absence is going to hurt this team.
