Brian Daboll Smashed His Headset After Giants’ Ugly Loss to Commanders

   

The New York Giants pulled off a unique feat against the Washington Commanders in Week 2 as they managed to lose the game on both the first and last plays of the game.

Minutes earlier, Daboll at the Giants had to go for it on 4th-and-4 at the Washington 22-yard line rather than try a go-ahead field goal with the game tied, 18-18.

The reason the Giants didn't attempt a field goal in that situation was that their kicker, Graham Gano, got hurt on the opening kickoff trying to run down Austin Ekeler on a play that was called back due to penalty. Gano came up lame and had to limp off the field. He then exited the game with a hamstring injury.

Without much of a backup plan-if any-punter Jamie Gillan took over kicking duties, going 0-for-1 on extra point attempts.

No wonder Daboll was so mad.
