First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Giants' quarterback Jaxson Dart completed several short passes, but their progress was hindered by penalties and turnovers. The Saints capitalized on these mistakes with a field goal to take an early lead.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Dart found his rhythm and connected with tight end Theo Johnson for two touchdown passes. However, two interceptions thrown by Dart allowed the Saints to regain control and extend their lead through efficient offensive plays.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, the Giants struggled to maintain possession due to three lost fumbles. Running back Cam Skattebo managed some impressive runs totaling 59 yards but failed to break through for any touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Saints continued their steady advance downfield.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter, despite efforts from linebacker Bobby Okereke who recorded ten tackles throughout the game, Big Blue's defense couldn't contain New Orleans' offense which sealed their victory with another touchdown drive.


The New York Giants vs New Orleans Saints final score reflected what went wrong for New York Giants: turnovers and penalties were costly errors that overshadowed moments of promise from players like Daniel Bellinger who contributed significantly with 52 receiving yards.
