Giants quarterback Daniel Jones took a read option through the right side of the offensive line and had nothing but open field to spring to his first rushing touchdown of the season in the fourth quarter of the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles. Instead of an 88-yard score, though, he stumbled over the 15-yard line and tumbled to the ground at the 8.
Forty-two years after The Fumble, the Giants on Thursday night experienced The Tumble.
Unlike its predecessor, the botched handoff between Joe Pisarcik and Larry Csonka that cost the team a game against the Eagles and is considered the nadir of one of the worst eras in franchise history, this one did not lead directly to the most recent loss to the NFC East rival, a 22-21 heartbreaker at Lincoln Financial Field.
