The Giants jumped out to a double-digit lead in New Orleans but then turned the ball over on five consecutive possessions in a 26-14 loss to the Saints, who scored 23 unanswered points. The Giants fell to 1-4.

For a brief moment there, it sure looked like the New York Giants had turned a corner. Jaxson Dart, making his second start, had thrown two touchdown passes to establish an 11-point lead over New Orleans early in the second quarter. 

But he Giants had turnovers in virtually every possible way — gift fumbles, bad-idea interceptions — and could only watch as the Saints ran up five straight scores and 23 straight points.

“Five turnovers to zero,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said after the game, “you’re not going to win in this league.”

And just like that, the brief flash of hope that ran through the Giants organization flickered and went dark. Dart completed 26 of 40 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns, but two interceptions were part of the brutal, repeated misfires that cost the Giants the game.

New York Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields returned to the starting lineup on Monday after missing Week 3 with a concussion.

The Miami Dolphins ruined Fields’ return, beating the Jets 27-21 on Monday Night Football in Week 4. The dual-threat quarterback had some ups and downs.

Fields started poorly, losing a fumble on the Jets’ second possession. It was a brutal follow-up to a Braelon Allen fumble at the goal line on the first drive. 

Fields’ most electric play was of the highlight-worthy variety. With the Jets trailing 17-3 midway through the third quarter, Aaron Glenn encouraged the offense to convert a 4th-and-1. Fields’ play-action attempt appeared dead in the backfield. That’s when he scrambled around, found the edge and rumbled for a 43-yard rushing touchdown.

All in all, Fields completed 20-of-27 passing attempts for 226 yards and a touchdown. The stats are somewhat misleading. Most of Fields’ passing production occurred in the fourth quarter with the Jets trailing by multiple scores, with the Dolphins playing a conservative prevent defense.
