New York Giants Week 8 Postgame Notebook
Gameday Coverage - November 2, 2021
Through nearly 59 minutes of competition, the New York Giants had the tens of thousands roaring at Arrowhead Stadium sweating for fear of suffering another inexplicable loss in what has been an uncharacteristic season for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Then in the final minute of regulation, with a tie ballgame on the scoreboard, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker capitalized from 34-yards out after another Giants defensive mishap-turned-untimely penalty to put the Chiefs on top permanently and send Big Blue home with a crushing defeat.
The win propelled the Chiefs back into the thick of their AFC West division race at 4-4, while the Giants loss dropped them to 2-6 on the season right before the NFL hits their trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon.
As we wait to see whether the Giants sell or hold before today's trade deadline, these are some important notes from their defeat that was so close to being a shocking upset.
