*The Giants had an NFL-best plus-8 turnover differential during the five weeks that covered their four-game winning streak. On Sunday, they lost three fumbles – one each by Daniel Jones, Dion Lewis and Colt McCoy - without a takeaway. It was the third time this season the Giants did not force a turnover; they lost to San Francisco and Arizona and beat Philadelphia (on Nov. 15).

*The Giants committed a turnover on the game's fifth play when their former teammate, linebacker Markus Golden, sacked Jones for an 11-yard loss while forcing a fumble that Golden recovered and returned 30 yards to the Giants' nine. The Cards were stopped on fourth down and did not score.

The turnover was the Giants' second on an opening possession this season. On Sept. 20 against San Francisco, Jones' tried to lateral to tight end Evan Engram, who couldn't hold onto the ball, which was recovered by Dion Jordan. Jones was charged with the fumble.

*The Giants committed their first special teams turnover of the season when Dion Lewis lost a fumble returning a kickoff with 8:17 remaining in the second quarter. After a 15-yard return, Lewis was separated from the ball by linebacker Kylie Fitts, who actually kicked the ball out of his hand. The ball was recovered by Trent Sherfield at the Giants' 16-yard line. Four plays later, Murray threw the touchdown passes to Arnold to give Arizona 10 points in 1:31.

*The Giants trailed at halftime, 13-0, one week after they were behind after two quarters in Seattle, 5-0. It is the first time they did not score a point in the first half of consecutive games since Dec. 4 and 11, 2016, when they trailed Pittsburgh, 14-0, and Dallas, 7-0. They lost to the Steelers, 24-14, but beat the Cowboys, 10-7.

*This was the third game this season in which the Giants were shut out in the first half. In addition to the two games just mentioned, they trailed in Chicago, 17-0, on Sept. 20. The Giants lost that game, 17-13.

*The Giants scored their only points of the game with 5:38 remaining in the third quarter, when Lewis slipped across the goal line from a yard out. It was Lewis' second rushing touchdown and third overall score this season. The touchdown was set up by the Giants' longest play of the game, Jones' 39-yard pass down the middle to wide receiver Golden Tate, who was ruled down at the one. Lewis scored on the next play.

*Jones, who missed last week's victory in Seattle with a hamstring injury, completed 11 of 21 passes for 127 yards. The 11 completions are the lowest total in his 24 NFL starts. He completed 12 of a career-low 19 attempts for 112 yards in the Giants' first victory of the season, against Washington on Oct. 18.
