The New York Giants weren’t playing in the shadow of New York Harbor Sunday, but they still had Lady Liberty in their minds.
Yes, folks, Big Blue whipped out the ol’ Statue of Liberty play on Super Wild Card Weekend, giving it a try on a first-and-goal from just inside the Vikings’ 10-yard-line:
Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley made it look good, but Matt Brieda couldn't find an optimal hole and only gained a couple yards.
It was the 17th play of a 20-play, 85-yard drive that lasted nearly the entire second quarter (10:52 to be exact), but only resulted in a 25-yard Graham Gano field goal that put them up 17-7 with about 3:30 to go in the half – only, because it was also the play right after a touchdown run by Jones was wiped off the board due to an illegal motion penalty.
