Game Notes:
"It's always exciting to see Odell Beckham Jr. make another fantastic catch like he did in the first quarter. I just wish I could see him do it and then have the Giants win the game for a change. It was disappointing for mostly everyone at the stadium, except for the happy Jet fans. I guess the best thing to take away on a losing day like this was getting to watch Beckham on the field. I'm pretty sure I never saw him out there before for punt returns. It probably shocked the Jets players too when they saw him because Dwayne Harris was able slip down past them for his 80-yard touchdown return.
During that first half Beckham also scored a touchdown. After the Jets tied the game at 10-10, Beckham pulled in a pass from Eli Manning and took it all the way downfield for a 72-yard touchdown. Josh Brown later kicked a field goal and the Giants were up 20-10 at the end of the half. Things were looking up and who expected the Giants would fail to score another point? The Giants had a long drive that spanned from the third quarter into the fourth and Manning threw a pass from the Jets 2 yard line to Rueben Randle, but it was intercepted. A touchdown would have put the game away. Instead the Jets scored a touchdown and field goal and the game went into overtime
The Jets scored first after marching down the field without much trouble. After getting a first down on the Giants eight yard line, the defense held (finally) and the Jets had to settle for a field goal. On the kickoff Harris got us all the way to the 42 yard line with another nice return and I thought we had a real shot. Then I winced when I saw Beckham kick the ball back to the line of scrimmage after he missed on a catch. That's not the way the officials expect to get the ball back, and he was hit with a five yard delay of game penalty.
So now the Giants were stuck with a 4th and 6, but Beckham made up for his mistake with a 20 yard catch to put us in field goal range at the Jets 34 yard line. They advanced the ball only four more yards and then Josh Brown missed on a 48 yard field goal. The next time they play at the stadium will be against Carolina and after today I can't say I'll be expecting a happy outcome."

Game Notes:
"It's the same old story. It was another game the Giants let get away. Josh Brown had kicked 29 straight field goals and it had to be today, at that point in the game to end the streak. There were plenty of opportunities today and there's only so many 'woulda coulda shouldas' before the door closes shut on the Giants this season. This was the fourth time the Giants blew a halftime lead and worse, this time they were blanked the whole second half and overtime, where they still had a chance to at least tie the game.
The Giants were down by three after scoring zero points in the first quarter. Dwayne Harris changed things around on the first play of the second quarter with his touchdown on an 80-yard punt return. Odell Beckham Jr. proved once again that he's a really amazing player with his six catches for 149 yards that included his 72-yard touchdown reception. Will Tye played well and had 3 catches out of four for 70 yards, but what happened to Rueben Randle? He had two catches out of six and two of those incompletions were on that overtime drive when Eli Manning was counting on Randle to do something.
Talking about blown chances in this game, Tom Coughlin's decision to go for it in the fourth quarter on fourth down from the Jets four yard line will certainly be questioned. Mostly that's because they didn't make it, but from the onset his defense had been playing well and the two most likely outcomes would be either scoring a touchdown or failing that, have the Jets take over at their 2 yard line. The third possible outcome would be turning the ball over in the endzone and of course that's what happened on a pass to Randle.
If they had gone for the field goal the Giants would have been up 23-10. A touchdown would have the Giants holding a 27-10 lead with about nine minutes left. After the loss it's just more 'woulda coulda shouldas' to look back on and that might be a motto for the Giants 2015 season. But wait, the Giants are in the NFC East where winning is a rarity. The Giants were on top at a point where they could control their own destiny, but still they are in the mix and anything can happen."

Eli Manning, with 43,073 career yards, moved past Hall of Famer Dan Fouts (43,040) and into 11th place on the NFL's career list.

Dwayne Harris had a 80-yard punt return touchdown. It was the Giants’ first punt return for a touchdown in 96 games.

Dwayne Harris is the third player in Giants history with kickoff and punt return touchdowns in the same season, and he's the first to do it in 60 years.

Jets
The Jets win over the Giants was their first since Oct. 31, 1993.
