The Giants found a new thing to get wrong.
Despite a sometimes strong showing against the Cowboys in what has otherwise been a frightful season, the Giants were plagued by a different sort of illness Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t necessarily Daniel Jones who soured their evening. It wasn’t even their woeful running game, which continued to be lackluster.
No, this was Game 5. It was time to be creative. For this occasion, the penalties would play villain.
Despite their best offensive showing of the season, the Giants were hamstrung by the two touchdowns that could have won the game, but then immediately came right back, a stark reminder of the way things could go right, if they were just executed correctly.
