The Giants had more than enough chances to really add some momentum to their season.

They had plenty of opportunities to finally win a game in prime time.

Everything was wide open for the Giants and they couldn’t understand it.

Once again they failed to score enough points to secure a win.

A touchdown isn’t enough in the NFL, even if your defense is making all sorts of plays and harassing opposing quarterback Joe Burrow for much of Sunday night’s game.

In the end, the Giants ran out of time and found a way to lose, falling to the Bengals 17-7 to continue their ineptitude at MetLife Stadium.

Daniel Jones – now 1-for-15 in his career under the lights – threw a brutal interception in the first quarter and kicker Greg Joseph missed a 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

The Giants ultimately were unable to overcome these mistakes.

Trailing 10-7, they had the ball and were ahead, but Jones’ fourth down pass to Darius Slayton was deflected by DJ Turner with 3:01 to play.

The Giants had a chance to get the ball back, but Burrow hit Andrei Iosqivas for 29 yards on third-and-12.

The Giants had another chance to get the ball back when Micah McFadden reached in and forced a Chase Brown fumble, but Jason Pinnock was unable to pounce on the loose ball.

There are only so many chances a team gets.

Brown ran 30 yards with 1:52 left to play for the game-winning touchdown.

The Bengals (2-4) saved their season with the win.

Once again, the Giants do the “one step up, one step back” dance that ultimately gets them nowhere.

This was the third time this season that they had a chance to make it two wins in a row, but failed to do so.

The Giants haven’t won consecutive games since winning three straight in Weeks 11, 12 and 14 last season.

Instead of successfully entering the highly anticipated matchup with Saquon Barkley and the Eagles (3-2) in Week 7, the Giants (2-4) remain anchored in last place in the NFC East.

The division is wide open with the Commanders (4-2) and Cowboys (3-3) losing this weekend, but right now the Giants are looking up to everyone else.
