It’s time to have the uncomfortable Shane Bowen conversation. They might want to leave him in Denver. The New York Giants’ defensive coordinator won’t be sleeping well tonight after blowing an 18-point fourth-quarter lead with less than six minutes remaining, in an epic 33-32 collapse against the Denver Broncos in Week 7.
It’s inexcusable, and it’s becoming clearer by the week that he’s getting in the way of this team taking the next step. If you were wondering how teams typically fare when they’re up 18 with under six minutes left, history suggests it’s a guaranteed win. That’s because it’s happened 1,062 times before, and every single time, they win the game.
