Giants net -9 passing yards in horrendous overtime loss to the Jets
This will go down as one of the ugliest games of 2023 or any NFL season.
The New York Jets “earned” a road victory over the New York Giants, 13-10, on Sunday.
The game went to overtime when Greg Zuerlein kicked a field goal as time expired and then hit one in the extra session.
Wilson finds Lazard and spikes it in time!

How wretched was the Giants’ strategy in the final minutes of regulation?
Jets, never a doubt. pic.twitter.com/BTi1pKKYNG

Big Blue accounted for a net of -9 yards passing.
The Giants had a chance to go for it on fourth-and-1 late to close out the game.
Brian Daboll opted for a field-goal try and Graham Gano missed, giving the Jets a last gasp.
Tommy DeVito, who replaced an injured Tyrod Taylor, was 2-of-7 passing for -1 yard.
Fans chanted “Let him throw” and DeVito was rarely given the opportunity.
The Giants are the first team to have negative passing yards in a game since… the Giants, on January 2, 2022.
No other team has done this since the 2009 Titans.
Today’s -9 passing yards are the worst in the NFL since the 2000 Browns.
