The over-confident defense went to sleep, the Broncos made them pay, and that's on the coaching. It's also on management and ownership for putting out the perpetually sorry production that is the New York Giants.
The Broncos scored three touchdowns in less than three and a half minutes. Then, when Dart, now losing 30-26, rallied the offense to score one last touchdown but their kicker MISSED THE POINT AFTER — you knew, you just knew because it followed the same script as so many times before — that the Broncos with 33 seconds left would march down the field and kick the winning field goal.
For years, the Giants have found all sorts of bizarre ways to lose games, including those that they should have won but bungled away. To me, that is an indication of an ongoing problem with team management. And I am SO glad that I did not watch this game. If I was not a New Yorker, it might have been exciting. Since I remain a New Yorker, the game would have been a disgrace in my eyes.
One other thought: Jaxson Dart deserves better. Maybe he will go the Saquon Barkley route.

This was a failure on both the head coach and the DC. Daboll, dude, what are you thinking? I understand he wants to put the game away right now, but winning by one score and winning by 2 scores is the same.
With around 4:50 left in the game, Giants up 26-16, 3rd and 5, you don't have to throw the ball here. Run it, punt, let Denver waste 2-3 minutes driving the field, they'll have no timeouts. Force them to recover an onsides kick. That's a winning formula almost every time.
But it gets worse. Giants up by 2 with 32 seconds left and Denver has no timeouts. What is the Giants defensive coordinator doing? What kind of defense was that? How do you let them catch two 30 yard passes and have enough time to kick a game winning FG without timeouts!!!!
