The Giants are dealing with another kicking nightmare.

Graham Gano injured his groin during pregame warmups on Sunday night and was out for their home opener against the Chiefs at MetLife Stadium.

Without Gano, the Giants turned to punter Jamie Gillan and it came back to haunt them, as Gillan’s extra point was blocked after Cam Skattebo’s 13-yard touchdown run with 1:44 to go in the second quarter.

The miscue kept the game tied at 6-6.
