‘I Let My Team Down,’ Says Punished Giants Rookie After Patriots Loss
- On Monday, New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter did not start or play early in Foxborough, a coach's decision reported by ESPN, but he entered in the second quarter and sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three plays later.
- On Nov. 16, Carter was benched after missing a walkthrough; Giants said he appeared asleep, while Carter said he was receiving treatment, and interim head coach Mike Kafka stressed accountability for lateness tied to a team meeting.
- For the second time in three games, Abdul Carter was absent when the Big Blue defense first took the field under Kafka and sat out two drives that resulted in points for the Patriots.
- Facing a six-game skid and 12 straight road defeats, the New York Giants imposed accountability measures as Abdul Carter said, `I made a mistake during the week that was detrimental to the team` after the 33-15 loss.
- Although the Giants need Abdul Carter as a foundational player, benchings have raised acclimation concerns, with coaches addressing his ongoing tardiness while Carter says he has been through worse and will be all right.
