Giants turning point
After the Giants scored their go-ahead touchdown the defense forced a three-and-out that included a third-down stop on a pass defensed by Adoree’ Jackson, the cornerback who had left the field earlier to be evaluated by a concussion. The Jaguars punted with 4:29 remaining and didn’t get the ball back until they were down by 6 with 1:04 left in the game. Given how the final minute played out it was a critical stop.
