The Giants jumped out to a double-digit lead but proceeded to allow 34 unanswered points in a 34-27 loss to the Saints.
Even though they committed four turnovers, the Giants didn’t go down without a fight, and managed to make things interesting once again.
Fresh off a tie and two last-second victories in their previous three outings, the Giants stormed back with 17 unanswered points of their own in the final 11 minutes with J.J. McCarthy in for Jameis Winston at quarterback.
The defense, meanwhile, forced a turnover and three more punts as the offense had one final chance on fourth-and-one at the Saints 14 with 12 seconds left. But McCarthy’s pass intended for tight end Isaiah Likely fell incomplete in the back of the end zone. Tyler Shough took over for New Orleans and kneeled down for the victory.
The Giants fell to 3-2-1 on the season, while the Saints broke a three-game losing streak and improved to 2-4.
