You almost have to try to lose a game like that. The New York Giants blew an 18-point fourth-quarter lead in Denver with just under six minutes left on the clock — a lead no team in NFL history had ever squandered under those circumstances. Until now. Final score: Broncos 33, Giants 32. Insufferable pain.
There are bad losses, and then there’s whatever that was. It wasn’t just a defensive collapse. It was a top-to-bottom unraveling that will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Up 19 points after three quarters. Two missed extra points. A back-breaking interception.
