Dante Pettis also picked up an injury, leaving the Giants short-staffed at wide receiver once again.
Daniel Jones and the Giants offense had a better performance than they have in past weeks. However, costly mistakes and a failure to execute down the stretch handed the game away to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
