The Giants were large underdogs entering their Week 8 road matchup with the Chiefs Monday night.
The oddsmakers believed the Chiefs could win by two possessions.
And while that wasn’t the case, the Giants still came up just short, largely in part due to the late-game penalties they committed.
The score was knotted at 17 late in the fourth quarter when the Chiefs took over, looking for a go-ahead touchdown or at least a field goal to go up by three.
That’s when star Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had struggled for much of the night, threw a crucial interception to Giants cornerback Darnay Holmes on a 2nd-and-20 play.
