Giants punter’s straight-forward take on game-costing penalty

Why did punter Brad Wing yank the helmet of Willie Snead, for which he was assessed a penalty that set up the winning field goal as the Saints stunned the Giants 52-49 last Sunday in New Orleans?

“When he grabbed my facemask and turned my head I couldn’t really see what I was grabbing,’’ Wing told The Post on Wednesday.

A wild game seemingly was headed into overtime when Wing punted 46 yards to Marcus Murphy. Murphy returned it 24 yards before he was caught from behind by safety Craig Dahl, who forced a fumble that Snead picked up.
