Steelers End Giants’ Six-Game Winning Streak By BILL PENNINGTONDEC. 4, 2016
PITTSBURGH — And so the questions will begin: Are the Giants not what they seemed to be during their six-game winning streak, which expired unceremoniously in Pittsburgh on Sunday?
The Giants had been trouncing mostly laggards lately. On Sunday, when the level of opposition ramped up a notch, the Giants collapsed in a clumsy 24-14 loss to the Steelers. A bad day for the Giants (8-4) turned worse after the final whistle, when the team’s best player, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., suggested that the game’s officials had been so one-sided that they should not be allowed to work Giants games.
Beckham has been in the midst of several other firestorms in his brief N.F.L. career, and he was joined in a brewing tempest by his usually placid fellow receiver Victor Cruz, who did not have a pass thrown in his direction all day. An upset Cruz wanted an explanation.
“I’m going to talk to somebody,” he told reporters. “Somebody’s got to give me an answer as to why.”
