Giants hand Geno Smith start vs. Raiders

The New York Giants will start backup quarterback Geno Smith in Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, head coach Ben McAdoo confirmed Tuesday.

McAdoo added that 2017 third-round pick, Davis Webb, will also get a look under center.

"Geno will start this week. Over the last five games, we will take a look at Geno, and we will also give Davis an opportunity," McAdoo said.

The decision ends Eli Manning's streak of 210 consecutive games started. McAdoo gave the 36-year-old the option to start in order to continue the streak, but Manning declined.

"Our No. 1 priority every week is to go win a game, but we owe it to the organization to get an evaluation of everybody on the roster, and that includes the quarterback position," McAdoo said. "I'll say it again, I have the utmost respect for Eli and everything he has done for this organization throughout his career."
