In a game where the New York Giants’ defense gave them every chance to win, it was the offense that couldn’t deliver. After a disheartening 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, head coach Brian Daboll didn’t mince words.
“It’s hard to win football games when you score seven points,” Daboll said. “This one’s on me.”
Despite holding Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to zero passing touchdowns and limiting his potent group of receivers, the Giants’ offense sputtered. A crucial red zone interception by Daniel Jones and failed third-down conversions were just part of the problem.
