The Giants lost to the Jets on Sunday.
They led 10-7 with 28 seconds left in regulation, when coach Brian Daboll decided to attempt a 35-yard field goal with struggling kicker Graham Gano, instead of going for it on fourth-and-1. The Jets were out of timeouts, so if the Giants converted that fourth down, the game would’ve been over.
McGaughey said officials missed a penalty on Gano’s missed field goal near the end of regulation, because Will McDonald — who leaped over the line and distracted Gano — was lined up over long snapper Casey Kreiter. Still, McGaughey said it should’ve been a penalty, because a defensive player must align entirely outside the framework of the long snapper’s shoulders. As for whether the Giants heard from the NFL about this play, Daboll declined to answer.No matter what you think of the McDonald play, this has been a rough year for McGaughey’s special teams — and these struggles could wind up costing McGaughey his job.
