In a battle of futility, the New England Patriots proved that they’re somehow in a worse place than the New York Giants.
Patriots (2-9) kicker Chad Ryland missed a 35-yard kick in wet conditions with six seconds remaining in the game, securing the Giants’ (4-8) second-straight victory — a 10-7 triumph over New England.
It’s the Giants’ first victory at home over the Patriots since Nov. 1987 when New England head coach Bill Belichick was a defensive coordinator for Big Blue.
New York’s defense was a force to be reckoned with for a second straight week.
