Giants unable to make game-clinching plays, fall to Patriots 27-26

The Giants’ inability to close out an opponent cost them another victory, and this defeat might sting the most.

One time owners of a 10-point lead, the Giants failed to hang onto a potential game-winning touchdown pass, and a certain game-clinching interception, in the final moments, and fell, 27-26, to the defending Super Bowl champion and undefeated (9-0) New England Patriots Sunday in MetLife Stadium. It was their second one-point loss of the season, and fourth by four points or less.
