The Giants lost to Washington by three, and Shaun Morash puts their kicking problem at the top of his list. Did an early missed field goal make the Giants feel like they had to take deep shots on the final drive? Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun weigh that theory against Washington’s blitz, revisit the third-and-3 call that took fourth down off the table, and debate the pass interference flag on Deonte Banks.
J.J. McCarthy threw for a career-high 293 yards, but the Giants didn’t let him attempt another pass after his touchdown to Isaiah Likely until they were trailing. Tiki backs Boomer Esiason’s A-plus grade, while the late interception keeps the rest of the crew from going that high. Big Blue still leads the division, but Jacksonville looms as a test of whether these Giants can hang with the league’s best.
