The New York Giants finally got some points early in a game, although it came via a gift from the Los Angeles Chargers’ offense.
After a Brad Wing punt pinned the Chargers inside the 10, a miscue between Philip Rivers and his center led to a snap that fell in the end zone. Rivers did the smart thing and tossed the ball through the back of the end zone for a safety with Giants defenders coming quick and aiming for a touchdown.
With the safety, the Giants took a 2-0 lead and got points in the first quarter for the first time in 2017.
The New York offense started the game with two punts, but finally got some first-quarter points of its own when Orleans Darkwa ran for a 23-yard touchdown that gave the Giants a 9-0 lead.
You’ve got to start somewhere, right?
