How the offside game joins growing list of painful losses for the Giants

LANDOVER, Md. -- It is apparently not enough for the New York Giants to simply lose. They seem inclined to find new and unique ways to earn an "L" and deliver another shot to the fan base's midsection.

Take Thursday night against the Washington Football Team. The Giants (0-2) let that one slip away on multiple occasions to backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke, with the final dagger being when Dexter Lawrence was flagged for offside on a field goal attempt that missed wide right with no time remaining.

Of course, Dustin Hopkins wasn't going to miss again, and the Giants, the NFL's worst team since the start of 2017, lost 30-29 and fell to 0-2 for the fifth straight year.
