The New York Giants suffered yet another heartbreaking loss, losing 34-27 to the Detroit Lions despite leading 27-17 in the fourth quarter. It has become a norm for this team to have a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter before squandering it away.
What made this latest loss more baffling was that team captain and star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence wasn't on the field in overtime, where the Lions scored an immediate touchdown on a 69-yard run by Jahmyr Gibbs.
After the game, interim head coach Mike Kafka said that Lawrence was "nicked up" during the game, and was limiting him to playing just third downs.
