Giants-Saints ‘Kudos & Wet Willies’: Giants give away a game they should have won

Kudos to …

Daniel Bellinger — It has been a looooong time since the Giants used Bellinger as a weapon in the passing game. Sunday, Bellinger caught four passes for 52 yards, including an 18-yarder on the opening drive that set up a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line...

New York took a big 14-3 lead, and the defense was dictating to Spencer Rattler and the Saints’ offense. But mistakes would catch up to the Giants, who were reckless with the football. Darius Slayton, Jaxson Dart, and Cam Skattebo all fumbled the football, which led to a long fumble return for a touchdown and two field goals by Blake Grupe.

Dart also threw two interceptions, so New York lost the turnover battle, 5-0. The...

Final score: Saints hand Giants brutal loss after turnover meltdown, 26-14

The New York Giants watched a promising start unravel in spectacular fashion on Sunday, falling 26-14 to the winless New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome.

After building an early 14-3 lead behind two first-half touchdown passes from rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart to tight end Theo Johnson, the Giants’ offense completely imploded committing five consecutive turnovers that turned a potential road win into a collapse.

It started late in the second quarter when Darius Slayton fumbled after a short reception, setting up a Saints field goal to end the half. From there, the floodgates opened. Per the CBS broadcast, the Giants...

Power Mock 2.0 – Are the Giants’ prospects about to change?

It’s the first week of the month (October, if you hadn’t noticed), which means that it’s once time for our monthly Power Mock.

The New York Giants have risen in the power rankings following their near wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs — which were followed by their upset win over the Los Angeles Chargers. That said, the Giants haven’t risen all that far in the rankings, and their team needs haven’t shifted that much — though the injury to Malik Nabers could either reveal a desperate need at receiver or surprising depth.

As always, the Power...
