The New York Giants had another wild game on Sunday against the Saints. The Giants' comeback fell just short, losing 34-27: Here's how X reacted.
The New York Giants hosted the New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, entering the game with a 3-1-1 record and sole possession of first place in the NFC East. Despite those records heading into the Week 6 matchup, the Giants were underdogs for much of the week.
New York jumped out to a 10-0 lead late in the second quarter. The Saints then scored 27 unanswered points and took a 27-10 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter. New Orleans continued to control the game through most of the second half.
Cam Skattebo was largely benched after his critical fumble in overtime the previous week, which may have cost the Giants a win in Week 5. Charlie Jones also fumbled a kick return while New York led 10-3, a miscue that shifted momentum.
The Giants struggled to move the ball consistently, and Jameis Winston threw a pair of interceptions in the second half. JJ McCarthy added to the turnover total when he was intercepted on his first drive of the game early in the fourth quarter.
The Giants mounted a late comeback behind McCarthy, cutting a 34-10 deficit to 34-27 in the final minutes. The rally proved too little, too late.
New York lost by a final score of 34-27 and dropped to 3-2-1. Here’s how fans reacted to the loss.
