"Big Blue led by 10, 27-17, roughly three minutes into the fourth quarter following a circus touchdown reception by quarterback Jameis Winston, who converted the 33-yard score from a pass from wide receiver Gunner Olszewski off an end-around. But Bowen's defense allowed a 49-yard touchdown to Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who went off for 219 yards on just 15 carries in Week 12, before allowing the hosts to march down for a game-tying field goal in the final minute of regulation."
"It was the fifth time this season that the Giants lost a game in which they were leading in the fourth quarter, which leads the NFL. That included a monumental collapse in Denver against the Broncos in Week 7 in which Bowen's defense squandered an eight-point lead with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. No team has done that since at least 1970, per ESPN. The Giants have also lost five road games this season in which they led by 10 points or more."
Shane Bowen was dismissed as New York Giants defensive coordinator after the team suffered another fourth-quarter collapse, and outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen will take over the role. The Giants led 27-17 into the fourth quarter after a circus touchdown by Jameis Winston but allowed a 49-yard touchdown to Jahmyr Gibbs, who rushed for 219 yards on 15 carries, then conceded a game-tying field goal and a 69-yard overtime score. The team has lost five games this season after leading in the fourth quarter, leads the NFL in such collapses, and ranks 30th in yards and points allowed. Interim head coach Mike Kafka made the decision and is now 0-2.
