"The Giants became the first team in 1,603 NFL games to blow a lead of at least 18 points with less than six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. That put the attention specifically on defensive coordinator Shane Bowen after several key defensive players weren't pleased with a play call on the first snap of the Broncos' game-winning drive with 33 seconds remaining."
""No, I'm not considering that," Daboll said about the possibility of any major staff changes during a Zoom call with reporters Monday. "But we all have to do a better job, and it starts with me. There are plenty of opportunities to finish that game the way we wanted to and didn't get the job done.""
"This time, Daboll said it was a different situation and play-call. The Giants were in man coverage and had double-robbers stationed deep to roam and protect the middle of the field. But New York still rushed only three defenders -- not including standouts Dexter Lawrence and Abdul Carter, who were on the sideline -- and Denver quarterback Bo Nix completed a 29-yard pass to Marvin Mims to the Giants' 48."
The New York Giants allowed 33 points in the fourth quarter and lost 33-32 to the Denver Broncos after surrendering a lead with under six minutes remaining. The team became the first in 1,603 NFL games to blow an 18-point lead with less than six minutes left, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen faced scrutiny after a play call on the first snap of Denver's game-winning drive upset key defensive players. Coach Brian Daboll said he is not considering major staff changes, accepted responsibility, and emphasized the need to finish games better. The Giants previously let a late lead slip in a Week 2 overtime loss to Dallas.
