Giants Lose Again, This Time to Chargers

Not long ago, the New York Giants were regarded by many as the best team in the NFL. However, things have definitely changed. With a 21-20 loss in Week 9 against the San Diego Chargers, the Giants have now lost four straight games.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Giants trailed 14-7. Then, they got hot. Lawrence Tynes hit two field goals and Eli Manning had a TD strike to tight end Kevin Boss. But with 21 seconds remaining in the game, Philip Rivers connected with Vincent Jackson to give the Chargers the the one-point win.
On the game, Rivers had three touchdown passes — two of which went to Jackson. Manning had two touchdown passes — one to Boss and one to Steve Smith.
While the Giants are plummeting, the Chargers are playing extremely well. They’ve won three straight games. Although LaDainian Tomlinson appears to be a shadow of his former self, the rest of the team is coming together nicely — especially the defense.
Next week, the Giants take on the Atlanta Falcons while the Chargers take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
