turnover on down for the #NYGiants. They will lose to the Saints, 26-14. Stay with bigblueview.com for full analysis/opinion.

There's another INT, this one intended for Beaux Collins. I talked to Collins this week about miscommunications with the quarterback. He stopped on that route, Dart threw it like he expected Collins to keep going.

1st NFL reception for Beaux Collins there.

A Jalin Hyatt sighting. Deep shot incomplete for his first target of the season.

Well, a Dart pick on 4th and 6 by Kool-Aid McKinstry. You don't beat anyone, even winless teams, when you turn the ball over 4 times.

Giants going backwards with penalties here. It's unraveling a bit.

Tae Banks w/a huge return out near midfield. Let's see if the Giants can cash it in.

Skattebo fumble on 1st play of Q4. Saints Jordan Howden takes it 86 yards for a TD. Saints lead 26-14. Giants have 100% beaten themselves today. IMHO they are the better team but this is a classic example of how you lose a game.

Giants defense forces a field goal after the Dart turnover. Grupe good from 28 yards. Saints 19, Giants 14 w/6:55 left in Q3.
This is a winnable game ... if the Giants stop getting in their own way.

Untouched Jaxson Dart fumbles. Just drops the ball as he began to scramble. Saints ball. This is how you lose games you should win -- by getting in your own way.

4th and 1 and Giants go at their own 45. Wan'Dale Robinson gets 2 yards with some extra effort. Brian Daboll with an early gamble that pays off.

Let's see if the Giants can re-establish some momentum here in the third quarter.

Oops. 16-14.

Saints take 16-13 halftime lead on Blake Grupe 29-yard FG. Slayton fumble might be a 10-point swing. Missed Dart-Slayton flea flicker another big change.
Giants trailing at the half in a game they coulda/shoulda/woulda been winning by 2 scores if they had executed well.

And, a huge fumble around the NO 30-yard line by Darius Slayton changes the first half. Saints now in position to take the lead at the NYG 42.

Giants hold Saints to 52-yd. FG. Grupe misses wide left and the Giants dodge a bullet there to keep the lead at 14-13. Now, with plenty of time can they add to it?

Big play by Darius Alexander to drop Rattler for a loss. Pushes NO back to the 36.

35 yards in penalties on Dru Phillips, Paulson Adebo on back to back plays. #NYGiants in danger losing the lead right before the half.

Great call, and a big miss by Dart.

Flea flicker on 3rd and 2 and Jaxson Dart doesn't get the ball out far enough to Darius Slayton. Missed chance. Punt.

2 hard runs for a first down by Cam Skattebo. Good way for the #NYGiants to settle things down after the Saints' big play.

Well. 87 yards from Spencer Rattler to Rashid Shaheed. 14-13 ballgame. One play and things are changed. That's an awful matchup for NYG safety Tyler Nubin. No chance he can cover that.

Missed opportunity for #NYGiants on that possession. Long ball Darius Slayton had a shot at and couldn't corral and a clean drop by Devin Singletary lead to first punt of the day for Jamie Gillan.

Saints close within 14-6 on 53-yard FG by Blake Grupe. 7:41 left, Q2.

Giants are using Darius Alexander to sub for Dexter Lawrence in passing situations. Interesting use of Lawrence, making the run his priority.

Per the broadcast this is the first time since No. 2020 vs. the Eagles that the #NYGiants have scored touchdowns on their first 2 drives of a game.

Another Dart to Theo Johnson TD. 2 drives, 2 TDs, 3 in 2 weeks. A 15-yard strike on 3rd and 8. 14-3 Giants, 13:01 left in the first half.
