The Giants jumped out to a double-digit lead in New Orleans but then turned the ball over on five consecutive possessions in a 26-14 loss to the Saints, who scored 23 unanswered points. The Giants fell to 1-4.

For a brief moment there, it sure looked like the New York Giants had turned a corner. Jaxson Dart, making his second start, had thrown two touchdown passes to establish an 11-point lead over New Orleans early in the second quarter. 

But he Giants had turnovers in virtually every possible way — gift fumbles, bad-idea interceptions — and could only watch as the Saints ran up five straight scores and 23 straight points.

“Five turnovers to zero,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said after the game, “you’re not going to win in this league.”
