The Giants suffered one of the worst collapses in NFL history against the Broncos in Week 7. New York blew second-half leads of 19-0 and 26-8, and gave up 33 points in the fourth quarter. Jaxson Dart was devastated. Bo Nix was elated.
Brian Daboll was furious.
The Giants coach threw a standard fit by throwing his headset after Wil Lutz's game-winning kick went through the uprights as the Giants dropped to 2-5 on the season.

Who didn't see that reaction coming? In his fourth season as head coach of the Giants, Daboll now has a record of 20-37-1. At this point he has throwing his headset down to a science. Last season, during another game where kicking injuries doomed the Giants and they lost on a last-second field goal, Daboll smashed his headset.
At least his latest temper tantrum wasn't directed at a healthcare professional the way it was last week when he tried to hurry Jaxson Dart back to the field while he was being evaluated for a concussion.
Neither the theatrics or the results are helping Daboll at this point. Next week the team will face an Eagles team coming off a win and looking for revenge for a loss on Thursday night two weeks ago.
