In Week 3, the New York Giants defense blew leads of 21-14 and 24-21 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The scores may have changed, but the issues remained the same in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Once again, Big Blue’s defense twice gave up fourth-quarter leads. Up 17-16 heading into the game’s final frame, Tampa Bay tight end Cameron Brate scored on a 14-yard reception to put the Bucs up 22-17.
The Giants responded with a 10 play, 75-yard drive that culminated with a two-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Rhett Ellison to put the Giants ahead 23-22 with just 3:16 remaining in the game.
