The New York Giants pulled off a surprising road upset over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4 with a 21-15 victory.

The game opened with a 42.5-point over/under total and settled at 38 ahead of kickoff. But the Giants (who opened as 6.5-point underdogs) and Browns combined for only 36 total points on Sunday. Over bettors, however, will be rueing their luck.

After the Giants' defense turned the Browns over on downs with 2:23 left, New York tailback Devin Singletary busted a 43-yard run on the first play of the ensuing drive.

Singletary (16 carries, 65 yards, one touchdown) had a clear track to the end zone and cashed the over total but purposely went down at the Browns' one-yard line, rolling the clock down to the two-minute warning.

Quarterback Daniel Jones kneeled out the rest of the clock, clinching the Giants' first victory of the year and sending Browns and over bettors into sheer agony.
