The New York Giants looked like they finally had a breakthrough on their hands on Sunday. Until they didn\u2019t. Jameis Winston threw for 357 yards, Wan\u2019Dale Robinson exploded for a career day, butDetroit\u2019s Jake Bates hit a 59-yard field goal with :28 left in regulation to force overtime, and the Giants lost, 34-27.<\/p>\n
Jahmyr Gills ran 69 yards for a touchdown on the first play of overtime for the winning score. The Giants reached the Detroit 27-yard line on the ensuing drive, but Aidan Hutchinson sacked Winston on fourth-and-5 to end the game.<\/p>\n
New York dropped to 2-10 and 0-7 on the road, despite outgaining Detroit 517\u2013494 and holding the ball for more than 33 minutes. The Giants led 27-17 early in the fourth after Winston\u2019s 33-yard touchdown reception from Gunner Olszewski on a trick play, but the defense immediately gave up a 49-yard score to Jahmyr Gibbs, setting the stage for the late collapse.<\/p>\n
Interim head coach Mike Kafka made a controversial decision with the Giants ahead by three points, going for a first down on fourth-and-goal from the Giants\u2019 6-yard line with 3:07 to play. Winston\u2019s pass to Theo Johnson was incomplete, meaning Detroit needed only a field goal to tie. Bates delivered.<\/p>\n
Winston finished 18 of 36 with two touchdowns passing, one receiving, and an interception, while Robinson was electric with 156 yards receiving and a score. Tyrone Tracy Jr. added 62 tough yards on the ground, and the Giants recorded 25 first downs in one of their most complete offensive performances of the season.<\/p>\n
But it didn\u2019t matter. Once again, New York showed fight \u2014 just not finish.<\/p>\n
Jameis Winston: 16 of 33, 357 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT; 11-yard scramble.

Key takeaways for the Giants<\/p>\n
Winston airs it out: The veteran delivered his best statistical game as a Giant, topping 350 yards and keeping New York aggressive for four quarters.<\/p>\n
Wan\u2019Dale explodes: Robinson put on a No. 1\u2013receiver performance with 156 yards and a long TD that set the tone early.<\/p>\n
Defense can\u2019t close: Despite flashes, the Giants surrendered touchdown runs of 49 and 69 yards to Jahmyr Gibbs \u2014 including the walk-off in overtime.<\/p>\n
Another one that slipped away: New York outgained Detroit and led by 10 in the fourth, but late defensive breakdowns and a stalled OT drive turned a winnable game into another painful road loss.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles was ruled out in the first half with a neck injury.<\/p>\n
