New York Giants attempt a risky touchdown instead of kicking a field goal against Detroit Lions and lose in overtime on a heartbreaking play

The New York Giants left fans scratching their heads after a puzzling fourth-quarter decision cost them a chance to seal the game against the Detroit Lions.

Even former President Donald Trump chimed in, questioning the choice on social media.

Controversial Call in the Red Zone

With just under three minutes remaining, the Giants were clinging to a 27-24 lead.

Driving deep into Lions territory, they faced a 4th & Goal from the six-yard line.

Rather than take the safer route with a field goal to extend their lead to six points, New York went for the touchdown, aiming to make it a two-possession game.

The plan fell apart. Quarterback Jameis Winston’s pass came up incomplete.

Detroit capitalized, kicking a field goal and eventually rallying to win in overtime.

Trump Questions Giants’ Strategy

The unusual decision did not go unnoticed. Posting on Truth Social, Donald Trump expressed his disbelief:

“Why did the New York Football Giants (NFL) not kick that Field Goal??? Who would have done such a thing? It was CRAZY! I got to watch the end of the game and thought, when they went for the touchdown instead of the 3, ‘That’s Weird!!!'”

Winston Shines Despite Loss

While the outcome was disappointing, Winston’s performance was a silver lining for a struggling Giants roster.

He completed 18 of 36 passes for 366 yards, tossing two touchdowns against one interception.

The team has been dealing with injuries to rookie quarterbacks Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart, making Winston’s leadership even more critical.

Lions’ Star Running Back Dominates

Detroit’s victory was powered by running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who torched the Giants for 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, adding another 45 yards and a receiving touchdown through the air.

His all-around performance proved impossible for New York to contain.

Giants’ Season Woes Continue

The loss dropped New York to 2-10 on the season, keeping their playoff hopes all but out of reach.

Their next challenge is a tough Monday Night Football showdown against the league-leading New England Patriots, where the Giants will need more than gutsy calls—they’ll need a clean execution to have any shot.

While Hugh Jackman was busy charming fans outside a New York theatre, where he’s starring in Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, his personal life was stirring up quite the storm back home. The 55-year-old actor was spotted smiling for selfies, casually dressed with dark sunglasses, before hopping on his bike — but there’s more going on beneath the surface than just a sunny day in the Big Apple. Deborra-Lee Furness Plans to Tell Her Side of the Story The twist? Hugh’s estranged wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, is reportedly gearing up to publish a raw and revealing “divorce diary.” After officially filing for divorce last month, ending their 27-year marriage, Deborra-Lee seems ready to share the emotional highs and heartbreaking lows of their split. Sources say she’s been meticulously writing down every detail of this difficult journey, determined to have her voice heard. Once the divorce is legally final, she plans to explore publishing deals that will bring her story to the public. A Heartbreaking Public Statement Sparks Interest Deborra-Lee made headlines with a heartfelt public statement where she spoke openly about her “traumatic journey of betrayal.” She expressed deep empathy for others going through similar pain and reflected on the spiritual strength that’s helped her cope. Her words were thoughtful and introspective, highlighting the wisdom she’s gained and emphasizing the importance of living with integrity and boundaries after such a profound life change. She closed with the idea that “none of this is personal,” a message that resonated with many but also hinted at underlying tensions. Behind the Scenes, a Memoir Could Shake Things Up While Deborra-Lee is keeping a calm front publicly, insiders reveal she’s preparing to reclaim her narrative through a brutally honest memoir. This book might dive into the intricacies of the split, including Hugh Jackman’s new relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster. A source close to Deborra-Lee told New Idea that she “won’t be silenced” and is committed to sharing her truth, which could include revealing details that fans have only speculated about until now. New Romance and Family Tensions Speaking of Sutton Foster, the 50-year-old Broadway star is reportedly feeling the strain as Hugh tries to bring her into the family fold. Hugh and Deborra-Lee share two adopted children, Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19, and sources say Hugh wants Sutton to bond with them — but Sutton is cautious about moving too fast. According to insiders, Sutton has asked Hugh to slow things down, especially with important family events like Oscar’s recent birthday and Ava’s upcoming one in July. She seems wary of rushing introductions while the divorce remains unsettled and the atmosphere around the family still feels tense. What Lies Ahead for This High-Profile Split? If Deborra-Lee’s memoir comes to fruition, it will likely be one of the most talked-about celebrity books in recent years. With decades of Hollywood experiences, personal struggles, and a headline-making divorce to unpack, publishers are surely eager for the opportunity. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman has stayed quiet publicly about the split but reportedly feels “extremely disappointed” by Deborra-Lee’s comments. A source revealed there was an unspoken agreement between them not to air their grievances in public — a promise that now seems broken, albeit without direct name-calling. Hugh Jackman Continues His New York Stage Run Despite the personal turmoil, Hugh has remained professional and engaged with fans during his New York City theatre stint. His ability to balance public appearances with private challenges shows his dedication to his craft — even as his personal life plays out in the headlines.
