Keep tying. Not trying, tying. A 7-4-6 record would almost definitely get Brian Daboll into the playoffs, which is good news since he seems to enjoy playing for the tie. The Giants neglected to go for a fourth-and-3 from the Commanders’ 45-yard line with 1:42 left in overtime, opting to punt instead.
“We had the two timeouts. (If) we go for it, miss it, there was a short field,” Daboll explained after the game. “They go and get a win against a division team. So, that’s what we decided to do.”
Hindsight, like the game itself, is 20-20.
