The New York Giants came into Sunday’s game as heavy road underdogs against the Miami Dolphins. +12.5 at the time of kickoff.
The Giants benefitted from a pick-6 by Jason Pinnock late in the first half to go into halftime down 17-10.
Buy Giants TicketsAlthough the Dolphins ended up with three turnovers on the day, their offense exploded for over 500 yards and the scoreboard appeared a lot closer than the game ever really was.
To make matters worse, the Giants had a flurry of injuries on the day, including Wan’Dale Robinson and most notably, Daniel Jones.
The Giants dropped to 1-4 on the season with the loss.
Here’s how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the loss.
Giants might just have a shot at the #1 pick after all.

The Giants are the worst team in football right now. They're not even competitive. They are just continuously demoralized and embarrassed in every phase.
It's a tough time to be a fan of this team and it has been for years.

The current state of the Giants offensive line is the worst that I've seen it. And that is saying a lot since I've been covering this team since 2013 and have seen some bad OLs.

#Giants offense has not scored a TD in 3 of 5 games. Has 12 points in 5 first halves.
Jason Garrett's units did more with less in 2020-21. Sorry, but true.

Giants almost covered! Still the only team in the NFL yet to cover a spread. There’s always next week.

The Giants are now 1-4. Haven't scored an offensive touchdown in 85 minutes (almost 2 1/2 games).
Final: Dolphins 31, Giants 16

Giants lose 31-16 to drop to 1-4. The offense is completely incompetent and now their starting QB is injured.

Breaking news: Tyrod Taylor also not a good quarterback behind this offensive line

This is going to be much worse than a bad season. This could be historically bad.
But it might be for the best at the end of the day. The front office was wrong for rebuilding while competing, but the WC win put them in a tough spot.
Something good will come from this.
