It was 2 a.m., the Giants had just lost a gut punch of a game to the Cowboys and flown through the night to return to New Jersey, and Colt McCoy walked in the door of his home to find his wife, Rachel, waiting at the door.
She had only one question for him.
Did you talk to Alex?
"I was like, ‘No, we were on the plane,’" said McCoy, the Giants’ backup quarterback.
