The Giants fell to the New Orleans Saints Sunday afternoon 14-11 at the Meadowlands. The Giants have not won a home game this season and at 0-7 they are the only team in the NFL yet to win a home game. Drew Lock made the start for the Giants for the second straight week. He completed just 21 of 49 passes for no touchdowns and one interception. The Giants only touchdown of the game came on a one-yard touchdown run by Tyrone Tracy which brought them to within three points with 4:14 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Giants would get the ball back two other times with the first drive ending with an interception and the final drive ending with New Orleans blocking a 35-yard field goal attempt by Giants Kicker Graham Gano in the final seconds. “Disappointing game, it came down there to the end with a blocked field,” said Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll after the game. “It’s a disappointing outcome to the game.” The Giants record now stands at 2-11. They play Lamar Jackson, Derick Henry, and the high-powered Baltimore Ravens this Sunday at home with three games remaining after that.
