The Giants suffered a narrow 20-15 loss to the rival Cowboys on Thursday, but it wasn't that close in the stands.
Video from MetLife Stadium posted on social media shows a Cowboys fan throwing a serious haymaker at a Giants fan during a “Thursday Night Football” game. .
It's unclear what started the commotion during the first quarter after Big Blue kicker Greg Joseph made a 52-yard field goal to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.
A fan sitting nearby apparently tried to intervene, but was unable to stop the Cowboys fan wearing a vintage Troy Aikman jersey from raining down heavy blows.
Giants fans seemed stunned and needed help from another Big Blue supporter to stay upright.
This was an early omen for local fans, as the team suffered its 14th loss in 15 tries against Dallas, giving Cowboys quarterback Dan Prescott his 13th straight loss.
This game was the 10th time in 12 years that the two teams met in prime time, with the Giants trailing with a record of 1 win and 9 losses.
In the latest edition, the Giants were unable to find the end zone and Joseph's five field goals accounted for all the scoring.
To make matters worse, star rookie Malik Nabors left the game late in the fourth quarter with a concussion after landing hard while falling wide of the frame while trying to make a catch.
With this loss, the Giants were unable to follow up on their road upset against the Browns in Week 3, dropping to a disappointing 1-3.
“Yeah. Again, the results stink,” coach Brian Daboll said. “I thought we were improving. I think there was continuous improvement. Last week we got the results we wanted, but this week we didn't get what we expected. It's painful. We played the game the way we needed to, but we just missed some things.”
They have a chance to get back in the win column on Sunday, Oct. 6 in Seattle, giving fans a much-needed break before heading home for Week 6 against the Bengals.
