Joe Judge Is Blaming Headsets 'Going Out' for Timeout Issues vs. Chiefs
The Giants were forced to use two of their three first-half timeouts on Monday Night Football against the Chiefs before the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, calling both while on defense.
The reason for such timeout mismanagement: "The headsets were going out," coach Joe Judge said, per NJ.com.
“This has been happening in every game so far. We deal with the league and they keep telling us about different software updates or whatever it is.”
Judge added that he's had the issue, "at every single stadium this year, home and away."
Per NJ.com, the team tried to use equipment from the past season, but the NFL denied the team's request.
