This fumble by Giants running back Brandon Jacobs was one of several key mistakes by players that ruined the momentum the coaches had helped build up in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
The 515 yards the Giants gave up to the Packers Sunday were the most their defense had given up in 30 years, since the San Diego Chargers ripped them for 567 on Oct. 19, 1980.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin may have a Super Bowl ring, but more often, the staple of the Coughlin Era has been watching Big Blue disintegrate down the stretch of the regular season.
