Giants’ bid for massive upset falls one yard short with narrow loss to Bills

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — To pull off a gargantuan upset, the Giants needed to reverse almost all the bad trends they established in their first five games of the season. 

They had lost four of them and been blown out in every one of them.

The Giants were not blown out Sunday night. 

They also failed to win, coming one yard short, despite battling with the heavily-favored Bills on near-even terms.

A completely botched offensive sequence at the end of the first half cost the Giants valuable points, an egregious error that proved costly in a 14-9 loss at Highmark Stadium.

This one went to the wire. 

From the Buffalo 1-yard line, with one untimed play after time expired as the Bills were called for pass interference in the end zone, Tyrod Taylor faked a handoff to Saquon Barkley and threw a jump ball to 6-foot-6 tight end Darren Waller. 

Waller could not disengage from Taron Johnson, the ball sailed over his reach and that was that.

Tyrod Taylor couldn’t lead the Giants to a touchdown against the Bills while filling in for Daniel Jones.

The Giants will try to snap their four-game losing streak in Week 7 when they host the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.

Quarterback Daniel Jones could be back for the game after sitting out Sunday with a neck injury.
