The Giants were looking to build some momentum after winning their first game of the season in Week 4. Unfortunately, they fell to the previously winless Saints in a mistake-laden performance at Caesars Superdome.
Among their most costly errors came early in the fourth quarter when rookie running back Cam Skattebo fumbled the football for the first time in his career. The ball was pried loose by Bryan Bresee and scooped up by Jordan Howden, who returned it 86 yards for a game-changing touchdown. The Giants had been trailing 19–14 at the time of the fumble, but the defensive touchdown made it a 26–14 game, which would stand as the final score.
