All of last season there were only three comebacks of 18 or more points.For the Giants, it tied for the largest comeback in franchise history. The team previously came back from 21 points down twice, but each of those instances occurred in the 1940s. And the most recent of them was against... the Cardinals, when the team was still in Yonder Alonso Jersey Chicago.New York got off to a disastrous start to the game, with the defense getting torn asunder by Josh Dobbs and throwing another interception.
