Slayton’s rough first half continued with a fumble on the Giants’ final drive of the second quarter. Safety Jonas Sanker recovered and the Saints marched down to take the lead at 16-14 on a 29-yard field goal by Blake Grupe that ended the half.

The New York Giants suffered an upsetting loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, and one young player is speaking out.

That's exactly what happened one week after the Giants beat the previously-undefeated Los Angeles Chargers in Jaxson Dart's first start with a turnover-free game - they did the opposite in losing to the no-longer-winless Saints, 26-14.

This was a game the Giants should have won. Clearly. They had a 14-3 lead and it looked like the good times were rolling. Then, they took the victory they had in hand, put it in a nice box, wrapped it with some pretty paper, put a bow on it, walked it across the field and gifted it to a previously winless Saints team.

Especially if the Giants — and Dart — keep making far too many self-inflicted mistakes, as they did in Sunday’s 26-14 loss in New Orleans, where they turned the ball over on five straight possessions (three fumbles and then two interceptions) and blew a 14-3 lead.

The New Orleans Saints defeated the New York Giants 26-16 at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday. Giants rookie quarterback Dart threw two interceptions and lost a fumble during a stretch in which the Giants gave away the ball on five consecutive possessions.
