Giants' Brian Daboll defends analytics use, 2-point attempts

Giants' Brian Daboll defends analytics use, 2-point attempts

The New York Giants fell to 2-7 on the season following a 27-22 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon, and there is no shortage of blame to go around.

Within all of that is a micro-debate over head coach Brian Daboll’s decision to rely on analytics and attempt two separate two-point conversion attempts.

The first came with just under 10:00 remaining in the fourth quarter when the Giants were trailing, 24-10. Quarterback Daniel Jones had just truck-sticked two Washington defenders en route to the endzone and momentum felt like it was shifting.

However, instead of kicking the point-after...

Giants-Commanders Week 9: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants couldn’t rally on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, falling to the Washington Commanders, 27-22.

The loss was a wasted effort for quarterback Daniel Jones, who had his strongest performance in front of hometown fans since January of 2023. He accounted for 228 yards and three touchdowns, and had a fourth called back on an egregious offensive pass interference call.

Five-plus dropped passes and an underwhelming defensive performance, coupled with questionable clock management, certainly didn’t help matters.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ Week 9 loss.

Offensive snaps: 65
Defensive snaps: 62

The Commanders have now completed a season sweep of the Giants for the first time since 2021. New York was playing catch-up all game in this divisional matchup and did not have enough in the tank to complete the fourth-quarter comeback.

However, for the second straight week, Tracy Jr. is the Player of the Game as he had another solid game rushing the football. He finished the game with 66 yards rushing on...

See it: Giants' Daniel Jones trucks two Commanders defenders for TD

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a lightning rod but one thing no one can question is his toughness.

Jones gives every play 100 percent and never was that more evident than during the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon against the Washington Commanders.

Trailing 24-10, Jones took a first-and-goal snap and headed left, lowered his shoulder, and completely truck-sticked Commanders cornerback Mike Sainristil and defensive end Dante Fowler en route to the endzone.

Turn up the volume!

Daniel Jones with the POWER. TD @Giants!
