The Giants led 21-0. They lost 25-24. The race for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft is heating up!
The Giants led 21-3 at halftime. This happened on their first drive of the second half:
The Jaguars demolished Eli Manning and he fumbled the ball 10-plus yards backwards. Such things happen. But then Rashad Jennings had the opportunity to just fall on the ball in the end zone as it rested in between the legs of a fallen Jaguar ... and instead he tried to pick it up with one hand and run with it. And he lost it. And Jacksonville's J.T. Thomas picked it up for a touchdown.
Instead of two points for the Jaguars, it was seven. Jennings' notion to get the ball out of the end zone and prevent a safety from happening was admirable, but probably not the best idea.
Later, Larry Donnell tried to leap forward for a few extra yards, and:
That's a 41-yard Aaron Colvin TD, marking the first time in franchise history the Jaguars had two defensive TDs in the same game.
And of course, the game ended like this:
Giants kicker Josh Brown also missed his first field goal of the season, and when you lose by one, that stings.
