Boom. Popular. Bang.
For every hit the New York Giants took on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on Sunday night, there was an equal and opposite reaction.
A handful of crucial mistakes and heartbreaking decision-making from players on the field caused Giants fans to leave MetLife Stadium and head to Route 3 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, again early.

Cincinnati won 17-7.
Burrow’s impact was felt. On 3rd and 12 from the Giants’ 47-yard line, Burrow decided to pass the ball to his right. To everyone’s surprise, no Giants players were in sight. He galloped for the longest touchdown streak of his career and it gave Cincinnati a 7-0 lead.
It was like that for most of the match. The Giants ran two 4th down conversions en route to a Tyrone Tracy Jr. 1-yard touchdown run. The Bengals took the lead on the next drive, but the Giants had a legitimate chance to tie it again.
Daniel Jones led the team on an 11-play, 42-yard drive in which Jaylin Hyatt failed to get a chance at a long pass and then the quarterback fired a pass into the mask from a Bengals defender.

Unfortunately, Greg Joseph missed a 47-yard field goal and later a 45-yard field goal.
Cincinnati punted on its next drive and New York returned the favor by turning the ball over on downs.
Bengals running back Chase Brown scored the game-winning touchdown and celebrated with the three Bengals fans in the end zone.
An ugly game resulted in the Bengals’ second win of the season. The Giants missed an opportunity to get back to .500.
Burrow totaled 208 passing yards even though he was sacked four times. He led the team with 55 rushing yards. Tee Higgins had seven catches for 77 yards.
