Giants embarrassed by SNF shutout loss: 'We got a long way to go'

The New York Giants aren't sugarcoating Sunday night's 40-0 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys.

"It's embarrassing, but it's over with now," safety Xavier McKinney said, via the team's transcript. "We got a long way to go. It's that simple."

Quarterback Daniel Jones also expressed his dismay at the prime-time defeat.

"We are certainly frustrated and extremely disappointed with how we performed tonight," he said. "I know I certainly am with myself, so a lot to work on and clean up. We are going to be critical of ourselves and look to correct it and get back on the right page."

Jones finished the contest 15-of-28 with 104 passing yards and a pair of interceptions. He also fumbled twice, although New York recovered both.

However, Giants players weren't the only ones disappointed with their performance.

"We just got skunked here, 40 to nothing," head coach Brian Daboll said. "When you play a game like that and coach a game like that, there's nothing that's good enough. Our job is to go back and look at it with a critical eye, just like we would do in any game. But 40 to nothing is not a good score, obviously. So, a lot to work on, and that's what we'll do."

Daboll, the reigning Coach of the Year, was outdone by Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. In McCarthy's first game as Dallas' play-caller, the Cowboys outgained the Giants by nearly 100 total yards and won the turnover battle.

"I'm focused on trying to improve, and there's a lot to improve on," Daboll said.

He added: "It was a bad game, and that's on me. We'll work to get the things we need to get fixed, which is certainly plenty of things."

The Giants will hope to rebound in Week when they travel to Arizona to face the 0-1 Cardinals.

"This was a wake-up call for us," McKinney said. "It's definitely humbling, but we'll figure it out. We'll be a lot better next week. We won't look like this next week."
