An epic collapse on defense, costly mistakes, and conservative offensive play calling late cost NY Giants in 30-29 loss to Washington
The NY Giants coaching staff played not to lose the game, and wound up not winning, in a disastrous turn of events in the waning moments Thursday night against the Washington Football Team.
Even after cornerback James Bradberry atoned for allowing an early touchdown and several key competitions to wide receiver Terry McLaurin, NY Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett turtled up on the ensuing possession, settling for a field goal, and Patrick Graham’s defense allowed Taylor Heinicke to match the Washington Football team down the field to kick a game-winning field goal, sending New York home with a 30-29 loss.
