Overview
- The New York Giants lost 34-27 to the New Orleans Saints after surrendering three touchdown passes to Tyler Shough and allowing 175 rushing yards.
- Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson told reporters he called players who did not hustle to the ball 'traitors' and said he plans to "confront everything" on the unit.
- Wilson explicitly warned that when behaviors are unacceptable the team will either bench players or replace them unless effort and execution improve.
- New York built a second-quarter double-digit lead but fell behind by as many as 24 points before J. J. McCarthy's late push narrowed the gap.
- The defense, ranked 19th in points allowed and already blamed for blowing a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in the prior game, will face heightened scrutiny and possible personnel moves before the next game against the Houston Texans.
