A regular-season loss that’s worse than a loss in the Super Bowl?
That’s the way safety Antrel Rolle feels as he continues to try to fathom how the Giants allowed a 31-10 fourth-quarter lead to devolve into a 38-31 loss to the Eagles, who scored 28 unanswered points in the final 7:28.
“Losing that game on Sunday definitely hurt more than losing that Super Bowl,’’ Rolle said tonight on Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Radio channel. Rolle was a member of the Cardinals when they lost in the last seconds to the Steelers 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa.
“You know, it’s funny to say that but at the same time when you’re playing in the Super Bowl and when you’re in such a close game as we were with Pittsburgh, anyone can win that game,’’ Rolle said. “You know what I mean? It was a fair fight. There were great players on each side of the ball and it went down to the wire which is something you expect. But when we had the lead we had against Philly and you lose that game? I’ve never felt that bad about a loss in my life.’’
