Either way, both rarities happened Sunday to the Giants in an undisciplined mess of a 40-37 heartbreaking overtime loss to the Cowboys.
The Giants drew 21 flags and had 14 penalties accepted resulting in a franchise record 160 yards.

Fill-in left tackle James Hudson III became the first NFL player in 100 years to be called for four penalties on one drive, according to the Fox broadcast.
