"The New York Giants have fired defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Interim coach Mike Kafka made the move after the Giants (2-10) blew a double-digit lead and lost 34-27 to the Detroit Lions in overtime on Sunday to become the first team eliminated from playoff contention. It was their sixth straight loss and fifth this season after leading in the fourth quarter."
"It also was the Giants' 12th straight road loss dating to last season, extending a franchise record. All five of this campaign's blown double-digit leads have been on the road. New York is 2-5 in games in which they've held a double-digit lead. They have lost an NFL-high five games after leading in the fourth quarter. Last month at Denver, they became the first team since at least 1970 to lead by 18-plus points with six minutes remaining and lose in regulation."
