New York Giants fall to Los Angeles Rams, 26-25: Here’s how X reacted
The New York Giants hosted the Los Angeles Rams in their Week 17 matchup as the end of the season inches closer.
The Giants turned to Tyrod Taylor with hopes of ending to their two-game losing streak against one of the hottest teams in the NFL with the Rams winning five of their last six games.
In a back-and-forth game, the Giants were able to keep pace with the Rams thanks to three takeaways (two interceptions, one fumble recovery) by Dane Belton.
Unfortunately, this was yet another game where the Giants beat themselves with dropped passes, missed throws, a missed extra point and field goal, and a number of crucial holding penalties that negated big plays.
The Giants dropped to 5-11 heading into the final week of the season with many looking ahead to the 2024 NFL draft.
Here is how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the loss.
On our 27th FG kicker couldn’t get it done.
See ya ’23

The ball drops at midnight for everyone else in the world except the Giants.

Gotta give credit to Tyrod Taylor for putting the team on his back and getting them in field goal range for the potential game-winner.
Kick comes up short and the Giants lose but hell of an effort from Taylor and the team against a playoff-contending Rams team. #NYGiants

2nd down run call killed the Giants
Get Mike Kafka off the Giants staff

Meant to ask this last week but how in the hell did Mason Crosby end up in #21 of all numbers?

Mason Crosby played his whole career in Green Bay but he’s never seen anything like a mild day in East Rutherford

Wild #Giants game. A slew of errors: missed extra points, missed throws, dropped passes, etc rob them of an upset (which is ultimately is better for them long term tbh)
A vertical element to the pass game today made it actually fun to watch for the first time in forever.

Well at the least the Eagles lost, and we kept our draft pick… Happy New Year!

According to @ESPNStatsInfo, the current 18-season streak without a repeat champion in the NFC East is the longest for any division in NFL history and the longest active such streak for any division across the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.

What a way to lose. Just so many late-game mistakes. End up with 55-yard FG from Mason Crosby that misses.
This is what bad teams do. Find ways to lose. #Giants

I can’t believe Daboll ran up the middle with no timeouts. What?
Thanks, BD
Rams are fun, love that offense

You can’t question #Giants effort today. Tremendous.
Execution? What you’d expect from a 6-10 team.
Coaching? Very questionable decisions.
