That was a word that was repeated over and over again in the Giants locker room after they fell to the Steelers, 26-18, Monday night at Acrisure Stadium.
It was a loser’s lament, and it came from every corner of the losing locker room.
The Giants overachieved for much of Monday night, but in the end, they screwed up the little things, and it cost them.
Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith (56) sacks Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) during the third quarter at Acrisure Stadium on Oct. 28, 2024.Details, details.
The only detail that matters, though, is this: 2-6.
That’s the Giants’ record at the near-halfway point to this season, which is bleeding into the dreaded irrelevancy stage.
Sure, the Giants came into the game with a terrific plan to neutralize the vaunted Steelers defensive front from eating Daniel Jones alive one week after he’d been sacked seven times and hit twice as many as that in the blowout loss to the Eagles.
Sure, rookie running Tyrone Tracy produced a career night, rushing for 145 yards and a TD. Sure, receiver Darius Slayton was a dynamic deep threat, catching four pᴀsses for 108 yards.
