Despite a couple of heartbreaking last-minute losses, the New York Giants just might have a shot at turning around things in the unsettled NFC East.
Dropped passes, mental errors, fumbles ... it just keeps on happening. The list that outlines how the Giants have self-destructed is already very long -- and the season is only two games old.
The New York Giants could have put to rest last week's heart wrenching defeat to the Dallas Cowboys simply by playing a full 60 minutes of football. Instead, the team treated the hometown crowd to more of the same, as the offense and defense sputtered late, and the Atlanta Falcons took advantage of the Giants' miscue on their way to a 24-20 victory at the Meadowlands.

Mark this one down as one of the Giants' most painful regular season losses in recent memory.
After losing track of Dallas' timeouts, Manning said he told halfback Rashad Jennings not to score on two consecutive plays when the Giants had a first down at the Cowboys' 4-yard line with 1:54 to play.
While the Giants lick their scabs, nearly everyone who loves football is mauling Tom Coughlin for Sunday night's numbing loss to the Cowboys -- a game New York owned until it didn't.
Tony Romo threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten with 7 seconds left, and the Cowboys overcame three turnovers to beat the Giants 27-26 on Sunday night.
The last time the Dallas Cowboys (1-0) and New York Giants (0-1) clashed in prime time, Odell Beckham, Jr. made a catch for the ages. This time around, Beckham could not provide any heroics, and the Big Blue's defense crumbled late, allowing a late Cowboys' touchdown. New York lost to the Dallas Cowboys 27-26 in an action-packed prime time affair in Texas.
