The major contributing factor to the Giants’ back to back wins was their ability to not turn the ball over.

Unfortunately, that streak came to an end with an early fumble by Evan Engram.

The team’s performance suffered as they struggled to defeat the Bengals playing without Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon.  New York did not turn the ball over again for the remainder of the game.

On special teams, the Giants gave up a pair of long returns that nearly altered the outcome of the game.
