James Hudson became one of the biggest storylines after the New York Giants’ 40-37 Week 2 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys... for all the wrong reasons. To say he brought it upon himself would be the understatement of the century.
That’s what happens when you commit four penalties on the first six snaps of the opening drive. His two pre-snap flags that cost 10 yards weren’t good, but they were at least understandable. Gameday jitters can get the best of anyone. But the two unsportsmanlike penalties, totaling an additional 30 yards, were the real problem: punching James Houston in the back of the head and mauling another defender relentlessly after the play was over.
