A loss always stings, but a loss that prolongs a losing skid hits a bit harder. The New York Giants will have plenty of time to stew over this one since they've got a long flight from Munich, Germany back to New York.
The Giants fell to the Carolina Panthers—who won consecutive games for the first time this season—20-17 in Sunday's kickoff game. New York bested Carolina in first downs (by nine), yards (by 38), and won time of possession 34:29 to 27:38. But all that matters is the scoreline, and the Panthers won it on a field goal in overtime.
