EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Matt Moore and the Carolina Panthers turned the New York Giants' farewell to Giants Stadium into one of their ugliest moments in franchise history.

Playing in front of Lawrence Taylor -- possibly their greatestplayer -- and knowing they still had a shot at a fifth straight playoff berth, the Giants (8-7) embarrassed themselves against the Panthers, a team with nothing at stake. Moore threw three touchdown passes, Jonathan Stewart rushed for a career-best 209 yards and the Panthers (7-8) shredded New York's defense with scores on six of their first seven possessions in a 41-9 victory before a disgusted final sellout crowd Sunday.

The Giants' postseason chances are microscopic. After stating the season 5-0, New York would have to beat Minnesota next week and hope Dallas lost its final two games, starting on Sunday night against Washington.
