Giants Fall to Broncos, 26-6: The New York Giants were dominated by the Denver Broncos 26-6 at Invesco Field earlier tonight. The Giants fell to 6-5, two games behind the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, with five games remaining in the regular season. The Giants and Cowboys face each in 10 days at the Meadowlands.
The game never was close. The Giants trailed 16-0 at halftime, scored two field goals in the third quarter, before Denver tacked on another 10 points in the 4th quarter.
The Broncos out-gained the Giants in first downs (23 to 15), time of possession (35:30 to 24:30), total net yards (373 to 267), net yards rushing (138 to 57), and net yards passing (235 to 210). Many of those passing yards by the Giants came in garbage time. The Giants turned the football over three times, including one interception and one fumble by QB Eli Manning and another fumble by HB DJ (nee Danny) Ware.
The Giants also came out of the game banged up with injuries to WR Mario Manningham (shoulder), DJ Ware (concussion), and S Michael Johnson (groin).
