00:00 The New York Giants made a game of it against the Buffalo Bills,
00:03 even holding a 6-0 lead through three quarters of play.
00:07 But poor red zone showing and a questionable play call at the end of the first half
00:11 ended up being the differences in the Giants losing the game 14 to 9.
00:17 The biggest head scratcher came at the end of the first half,
00:20 when quarterback Tyron Taylor in for the injured Daniel Jones,
00:24 looked like he audibled out of a pass play at the one yard line.
00:28 He instead handed the ball off to running back Saquon Barkley,
00:31 who was stopped short of the goal line as time expired.
00:35 The play likely taking at least three points off the board for the Giants.
00:39 The Giants probably wish they had had those three points later in the game.
00:43 As with Buffalo taking a 14 to 9 lead, New York got one last attempt
00:48 to snatch the game away from the jaws of defeat.
00:51 However, to do so, they needed a touchdown instead of a field goal.
00:55 Their effort to get the ball to tight end Darren Waller,
00:58 despite being on the one yard line, fell incomplete on the final play of the game.
01:04 The Giants now fall to one in five.
01:06 They return home next week against Washington Commanders in search of their
01:10 first victory since a week to win over the Arizona Cardinals.
