Giants-Panthers final score: Giants fall to Carolina in overtime, 20-17

Giants fall to 2-8 with fifth straight loss

In a tightly-contested showdown in Germany, the Carolina Panthers on Sunday edged the New York Giants in overtime 20-17.

An Eddy Pineiro 36-yard field goal in overtime provided the winning points.

The Giants are now 2-8 and have lost five straight games.

The Panthers initially seized control with a 10-0 lead by halftime, and for most of the game, it seemed like Carolina was in the driver’s seat. But the Giants made a late comeback, scoring 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17-17, pushing it to overtime.

The Giants tied the score with :05 remaining on a 42-yard Graham Gano field goal.

However, the Giants’ momentum quickly faltered when running back Tyrone Tracy fumbled on the first play of overtime when hit by former Giant A’Shawn Robinson, allowing Panthers linebacker Josey Jewell to recover. The Panthers took possession at the New York 23-yard line, and capitalized on the short field with the game-winning kick.

Chuba Hubbard amassed a career-high 153 yards rushing on 28 carries. Meanwhile, second-year quarterback Bryce Young put in a solid performance, managing the game effectively and securing his second consecutive win.

Quarterback Daniel Jones threw two costly interceptions.

Despite some late heroics, the Giants’ offense fell short again, leaving them searching for answers as they head back stateside. New York now holds the worst record in the NFL heading into the rest of this week. Meanwhile, the Panthers, buoyed by their resilient performance, will enjoy the long flight home with a hard-earned win.
