Brandon Marshall was brought to the New York Giants to be a game-changer, a guy who would take pressure off Odell Beckham Jr. and Eli Manning and make plays that would help the Giants win games.
With 14:02 left in the fourth quarter and the Giants trailing, 17-10, Marshall’s first real opportunity to do that arose. With the ball at their own 21-yard line, Manning lofted a perfectly-placed pass down the right sideline to an open Marshall, who had clearly beaten cornerback D.J. Hayden. Catch the ball and the Giants are at midfield and set up for a potential game-tying drive.
