There are several reasons why the New York Giants blew a 19-3 lead and were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 25-22 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
There was Eli Manning’s momentum-changing interception at the end of the first half, and the referees missing a blatant pass interference penalty on Odell Beckham Jr. on a crucial third down late in the fourth quarter. You can also make a case that the Giants should have challenged the depleted Eagles secondary deep throughout the game.
But ultimately the main reason why the Giants lost on Sunday was because they stopped giving the ball to their best player Saquon Barkley in the second half.
