Shootout in the Superdome

In the third highest scoring game in NFL history (Super Bowl era), the Giants fall short.  Manning threw for 350 yards and six touchdowns, three of them to Beckham.  The only other touchdown came from safety Trumaine McBride on a pic six to give the Giants a 49-42 lead.  After a Drew Brees touchdown the Giants had 36 seconds to retake the lead.  Giants could not get anything going and punted on fourth down to Marcus Murphy who returned the ball 24 yards to the Giants 47.  Murphy was dragged down by his facemask adding on 15 more yards, giving the Saints an opportunity for a last second 50yd field goal.  With five seconds left kicker Kai Forbath connects to hand the Giants another deflating loss, by the score 52-49.
