Giants ruin positive vibes with historic fourth-quarter meltdown 

The Giants snapped that streak.

What makes it all even worse for the Giants defense is that even after surrendering the original lead and falling behind, 30-26, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart still engineered a scoring drive of his own, moving the team 65 yards in seven plays for another go-ahead score with only 40 seconds to play. The drive was aided by a controversial pass interference penalty to set them up first-and-goal at the two (which became the one after a Sean Payton unsportsmanlike conduct penalty), but he still put them in that position. 

The Giants also had Denver pinned back inside its own 25-yard line to start its final drive with no timeouts remaining. All the Giants had to do was keep them from getting into field goal range. They could not even do that as Broncos quarterback Bo Nix moved them 56 yards in only four plays to set up Will Lutz for the game-winning field goal as time expired. 

All of this happened after the Broncos offense was miserable for the first three quarters of the game. 

If you are the Giants, you could probably walk away from this game feeling somewhat positive, given the progress of Dart and how important it is to have a good young quarterback. But that was a huge missed opportunity to keep building momentum and show that maybe things could be different. All they did instead was show that they are still the Giants. A badly flawed, poorly coached team that is still finding ways to lose games.
