Here are three stats that explain why the NY Giants dropped yet another game:

Zero Takeaways:

The NY Giants recorded a turnover in 13 straight games. That streak ended Sunday.

While there were opportunities for big plays to be made by the defense, they did not happen today. The Dolphins dropped multiple ball passes that could have resulted in turnovers.

With the offense struggling so much, the defense needed to step up in a big way today. A turnover could have shifted the momentum of the game. While you can rely on the defense to make that sort of play every game, it could have helped change the outcome today.
