Brian Daboll couldn’t contain his emotions when the Giants dropped a heartbreaker on Sunday.
After them lost on a walk-off field goal by the CommandersThe Fox broadcast showed the Giants head coach slamming his headset to the ground as his team fell to 0-2.
The Giants took the lead with 11:32 left in the game when Daniel Jones threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Wan’Dale Robinson, but the team was without Graham Gano — who entered the game with a groin injury and suffered a hamstring strain on the opening kickoff — they went for two and couldn’t convert, leaving them with an 18-15 lead.
Commanders kicker Austin Seibert tied the game with a 33-yard field goal with 7:12 left before his game-winning 30-yard kick as time expired.
The Gano injury hurt the Giants on all three of their touchdowns, as punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point in the first quarter, and they failed another two-point attempt just before halftime.
Even though Gano entered the game and pitched, the Giants didn’t lift backup Jude McAtamney off the practice squad, which came back to haunt them, leaving Daboll steaming.
This is the first time in Daboll’s three seasons at the helm that the Giants have started 0-2.
