The New York Giants entered the fourth quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the Denver Broncos holding a 19-0 lead. Somehow, final result was a stunning 33-32 scoreline in favor of the Broncos.
One of the game’s key plays was a Jaxson Dart interception with 4:56 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Giants holding a 16-6 lead.
After the contest, Dart called the interception “unacceptable” and took accountability for the error:
Dart may be beating himself up over that one play but he was otherwise fantastic, throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 11 yards and a score. Outside of his one turnover or the four sacks he took, he was one of the best players on the field.
The same can’t be said for a Giants’ defense that gave up 33 points and 231 yards of offense in the fourth quarter alone. Or kicker Jude McAtamney, who missed two extra points in the game.
There are plenty of fingers to point in New York, in other words. It’s a good sign for the Giants that Dart was only pointing one at himself.
