Giants set another all-time NFL record for futility

The New York Giants love to set all-time NFL records but in recent years, precious few of them have been of the positive variety.

On Thursday, the Giants fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 27-20, and once again failed to record an interception. It was their 11th straight game without a pick, setting the league’s all-time mark for such a streak.

The Giants’ last and lone interception this season came in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings when rookie linebacker Darius Muasau recorded a pick in a garbage time loss.

Following Sunday’s loss, in which they threw an interception and lost a fumble, the Giants are now -8 in turnover differential. They are -7 in interception differential (8 to 1) and could be without several cornerbacks again in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints have thrown just seven interceptions this season and two of those were courtesy of backup Spencer Rattler while a third was thrown by utility man Tayson Hill. Derek Carr has thrown just four.

The Giants will need to buck recent trends for both teams in order to end their all-time streak at just 11 games or risk setting the bar even lower.
