"In the first half they allowed just 102 total yards, had two sacks (both by league-leader Brian Burns), knocked down three passes, and came up with a goal-line stand that was capped by Dane Belton's big hit at the 1. But they allowed 33 points in the fourth quarter and couldn't even get a stop on the game-winning field goal drive. Bo Nix completed 27 of 50 for 279 yards with two TD passes and one big TD run."
"It was only a matter of time before Jude McAtamney's inexperience bit the Giants and this was the game. The kicker who has replaced Graham Gano the past month missed two extra points that would have been the difference in a one-point game. Jamie Gillan's punting and kickoffs were solid. The Giants didn't have any explosives in the return game."
"A second epic collapse this season in which the Giants went ahead with a touchdown and under a minute to play. They held leads of 19-0 and 26-8 but could not hold on. After dominating most of the game the defense could not come up with any answers late and the losses of Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland to injuries were crippling. The offensive play-calling was at least creative and good enough to engineer that late go-ahead drive but it certainly is very little consolation."
Jaxson Dart completed 15 of 33 passes for 283 yards, threw three TDs, and scored on a 1-yard run to give the Giants a lead with 37 seconds left. Wan'Dale Robinson caught six passes for 95 yards, drew three penalties, and was involved in the 41-yard touchdown that ricocheted to Theo Johnson. The defense allowed 102 first-half yards, had two sacks and a goal-line stand, but surrendered 33 fourth-quarter points and failed to stop the game-winning drive. Kicker Jude McAtamney missed two extra points. The Giants held large early leads but collapsed late; injuries to Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland were crippling.
