FOXBOROUGH — Christian Elliss was looking for an opportunity to deliver a spark on Monday night.
Said opportunity presented itself as Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart attempted a tightrope walk along the Gillette Stadium sidelines in search of extra yardage.
For Dart, using his legs to extend plays was a necessary measure in a primetime matchup against the Patriots.
And for a hard-hitting, mobile linebacker like Elliss, what played out in front of him was akin to a shark smelling blood in the water.
“He started tiptoeing on the sideline, and I thought he was just going to go out of bounds, but then I saw him [keep] tiptoeing,” Elliss said.
