Giants Fans Completely Turn On Kayvon Thibodeaux After Disrespectful Remark Following Loss

   

The New York Giants are going back to the drawing board after their week one loss to the Minnesota Vikings.  New York opened their season with a 28-6 loss in front of their own fans.  It was a disappointing afternoon from top to bottom.

A question about New York’s ineffective pass rush in the season opener was posed to edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, but clearly he was interested in providing an answer:

According to Karl Rassmussen of Sports Illustrated:

Thibodeaux struggled in the season opener, failing to record a single tackle and logging just one quarterback hit in the 28–6 loss.

Darnold was sacked just once in the game and completed 19 of 24 pass attempts, rarely struggling to find an open target. What seemed a valid question from the reporter did not sit well with Thibodeaux, who was quick to move on to other questions.

New York fans were not happy with how Thibodeaux acted:
