NEW ORLEANS — The obvious assumption became crystal clear for the Giants on Sunday: Life without Malik Nabers will be daunting for Jaxson Dart.

Especially if the Giants — and Dart — keep making far too many self-inflicted mistakes, as they did in Sunday’s 26-14 loss in New Orleans, where they turned the ball over on five straight possessions (three fumbles and then two interceptions) and blew a 14-3 lead.

The Saints scored 23 unanswered points to put the game away, as the Giants lost the ball on their first four second-half drives — an absolutely bonkers run of ineptitude against a winless opponent.
