Giants

It's not easy to be an NFL referee. With just seconds remaining in Sunday's Washington Commanders-New York Giants game, Commanders running back Brian ...

The second was late in the fourth quarter. “To the officials it didn’t rise to what they felt was a restriction, thus they didn’t call it,” Hussey said in a pool report. “I checked to see if I was good the first time, and he was like, ‘Move up a little bit,’” McLaurin told reporters after the game. The Raiders tied the game a few minutes earlier on a 30-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Derek Carr to wide receiver Keelan Cole. It’s a judgment call and they didn’t believe it was pass interference.” “It’s clearly a foul,” NBC rules analyst and former NFL referee Terry McAulay said on Sunday Night Football.

The New York Giants defeated the Washington Commanders, 20-12, in Week 15 and the Giants Wire team grades reflect that performance.

Daboll’s in-game management definitely could use some work as he needs to improve on managing the clock and made a fourth-down call that looks great in hindsight but was definitely very questionable at the moment. The rest of the Giants’ defense was also getting pressure on Taylor Heinicke as he was sacked a total of three times and hit eight. This showed the heart of this defense as it hopes to continue its season by a week. The fifth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft had a night as he recorded 12 tackles and three tackles for a loss to go along with his strip sack touchdown. Daniel Jones was not sacked once in this game compared to four times last game which allowed New York to put together long drives that drained the clock and the Washington defense. Jones also passed for only 160 yards on 32 attempts in this match as he failed to really open up this game through the air.

So, I kept a little bit of the goatee on there (to) cover up some of the other parts. "Not really sure that really makes the difference but change it up. "The officials have a tough job to do. Again, just to the question, I think it's important to see players put a lot of work and effort into it and get the results that they're hoping for. It's awesome (that) they have the trust to send me out there in the cold and against the wind. "We haven't had a chance to sit down and discuss those things, but certainly that topic – probably amongst a bunch of other ones like they do each week – come up. We've got a big game next week, but we are going to enjoy this and analyze what we did right and what we did wrong and correct things." "I think this is a big game, on the road, against a division opponent. And I'd say that there are a lot of guys that contributed to the outcome of the game, made some good plays in critical times. There wasn't a whole lot of – there was a lot of sleeping. "I'll just say what it means for the game: It gives you an opportunity to be successful in the game when your best players are playing well," Daboll said. Gotta take it one day at a time to win games."

The New York Giants came into Week 15 on the shoulders of their worse defeat of the season and four straight weeks without a victory.

He made key stops on third and short that ended up contributing to the Giants’ next offensive drive – a touchdown for the lead. New York’s playoff hopes improved to over 90% with the win on Sunday night. We haven’t had a chance to sit down and discuss those things, but certainly, that topic – We’ll talk about it.” head coach Brian Daboll said Monday. On paper, the Giants’ defense wasn’t anything special. An inability to stop the run had been the team’s biggest problem. Landon Collins has familiarity as both a Commander and Giant.

The fifth-overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft is starting to round into the player the Giants hoped to be getting.

For me, I had to say it and believe it, and I was able to do it. I think we were able to execute, and everybody was able to make plays." "It exudes out of how we play. “I was in coverage right there. That 1-yard saved was extremely important, as the Giants defense stood strong and prevented Washington from scoring. An underrated play by Thibodeaux came on the Commanders’ final drive. The former Oregon star suffered a preseason knee injury that forced him to miss the first two games of the regular season. And sometimes, it can take an entire season for a rookie to feel at home. She said it was in her heart to tell me that you can do anything you put your mind to. But with each passing week, Thibodeauz's impact on the games became more evident. It showed in his production. Rookies often have to get used to the game's speed, which many say can take several weeks.

Bravo, gentleman. How about that Kayvon Thibodeaux? Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports. Giants rookie outside linebacker ...

If a flag was dropped, it would have given Washington a first-and-goal on the one with 48 seconds remaining. That play that he made down there when they were backed up kind of changed the tide a little bit in the early part of the game. Their offense did not do all of the scoring on Sunday night, however. We will kind of slow the roll on that one,” he said. That includes the game’s final competitive play where Giants’ defensive back Darnay Holmes was draped all over Commanders wideout Curtis Samuel in the end zone. He is a very talented player and he played like it,” he said. It was their longest scoring drive in eight seasons. They are averaging 20.5 points per game and allowing 22.3. “I think he has consistently improved throughout the year. Yes, the officials gave the Giants a lot of latitude in this one, looking the other way on plays that could have drawn flags. “I’m glad he is a part of the team. I think he has gotten better each week.

The New York Giants' coach shaved part of his trademark beard ahead of his team's primetime game -- and it paid off.

There's a lot of skin underneath that beard, but so be it." Really, he has no choice but to keep the goatee. He has no choice but to displease his wife and kids, for the betterment of his football team. "Unfortunately for everybody else. There's a lot of parts." Daboll gave him a bro-hug and told him he was proud and DJ did a great job.— Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan)
