This stat highlights wild improbability of Patriots' loss to Giants

You have to give the 2023 New England Patriots credit: They keep finding creative ways to lose.

Despite owning a 2-8 record and a three-game losing streak, the Patriots were favored entering Sunday's road matchup with the New York Giants, who had a 3-8 record and the NFL's worst scoring offense.

New York's impotent offense lived up to its billing at MetLife Stadium: quarterback Tommy DeVito was sacked six times as the Giants mustered just 10 points on 220 yards of total offense. And yet, that performance was somehow good enough for a win, as Patriots kicker Chad Ryland shanked a 35-yard field goal with six seconds remaining to allow New York to escape with a 10-7 victory.
