This happened to the Giants before

in 1989, the Giants lost a heart-breaking game to the 49ers at Candlestick. The Giants came from behind to take the lead, but San Francisco got a second chance to kick the game-winning field goal when Reyna Thompson of all people jumped offsides.

It was a devastating loss and became a focal point of the classic book "No Medals for Trying."

since 2012. If you have the ball with two minutes to go down by 6 or less vs. the Giants the game is in the bag. It is a shock when they actually stop someone.

The sad thing...I'm not even mad. I am just completely apathetic.
They were 0-2

in 2006 and the defense gave up almost 80 points in the 1st two games. They were not even competitive.

Not saying this team has a chance to do what they did. But clearly they should have won this game.
