Overview

• Gano suffered a groin injury during pregame warmups and was listed as questionable just before kickoff.
• With no kicker activated behind him, the Giants relied on punter Jamie Gillan for placekicking duties.
• New York passed on a 46-yard field-goal try on its opening drive, going for it on fourth-and-3 at the Kansas City 28.
• Gillan’s extra-point attempt late in the second quarter was blocked, leaving the score tied 6-6.
• The late setback revived memories of a 2024 game when Gano was hurt and the Giants’ lack of a backup altered in-game strategy.
