For a brief moment there, it certainly seemed that the Giants of New York had turned a corner. Jaxson Dart, making his second departure, launched two Touché passes to establish an 11-point lead in New Orleans at the start of the second quarter. Cam Skattebo continued to embark on defensive lines without worry for himself or anyone on the other side of his helmet.

He turned out: everything. The giants vomited on five reversals on five consecutive possessions of almost all possible ways – escaped gifts, interceptions of bad idea – and could only look at the saints ran five consecutive scores and 23 consecutive points on the way to a victory of 26-14. Four of the five reversals were on the territory of New Orleans.
“Five reversals to zero,” said Giants head coach Brian Daboll after the match, “you are not going to win in this league.”

And just like that, the brief flash of hope that crossed the organization of the giants sparkled and made the darkness. New faces, same exact result. Worse, really, because it takes a special type of defect to lose in the mass of the joy of hot waste which is the saints of New Orleans in 2025.

Dart completed 26 of the 40 passes for 202 yards and two affected, but two interceptions were part of the brutal and repeated failures that cost the game to the giants.
The turnover was not, however, the only problem for the giants. Perhaps no game illustrated the futility of the giants on Sunday, worse than Dart at the sampling of Dart at the start of the half:
“In the NFL, each team is a good team. Each team has talent,” said Dart. “I just felt like we just gave the game with these reversals.”
“Each game counts. He knows it. He is so hard with himself,” said Daboll about Dart. “There will be ups, there will be stockings. I thought it started very well, collectively, we have to do a better job. ”

Also frustrating for the Giants: a Flick-Flicker where Darius Slayton stopped behind the defense of the saints and seemed to go around six, only for Dart for himself:
If the passage had been connected for six, the giants could have taken a lead of 21-14, stopping the race of the saints. Instead, an opportunity fell on the lawn, and shortly after, New Orleans took the lead for good.
“I want me to have tried to go back in one way or a form or a form,” said Slayton. “The quarter cannot be perfect. They put it near us, our work to go up and fight for that.”
THE The giants clearly suffer powerfully without Malik NabresFor the season with a devastating knee injury. Dart turned to the end tight Theo Johnson twice on Sunday for the initial – and, as he turned out, only – affected people for New York.

The backbreaker arrived at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Cam Skattebo – which was a candle for the giants of its recruited season – escaped a bullet that the saints launched in an immediate and crushing touch:
Giants have institutional problems, yes, but they also have more immediate problems. New York has to adapt just barely 100 hours after the defeat of New Orleans to face the defending Philadelphia to the Super Bowl champion on Thursday. The Eagles – who will face New York twice in three weeks – are late for a late defeat against Denver and will be impatient to hammer a rival in the division.
Dart does not have the possibility of facilitating the NFL, and how it manages the next games will have fans of giants who breathe a little more easily … or shouting even stronger.
