D.J. Fluker allowing New York Giants to 'run with authority'

On the New York Giants sideline during their game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, guard D.J. Fluker told running back Orleans Darkwa to "hit it. He'll reach out, and I'm going to pancake him."

"He" was Denver defensive end Adam Gotsis, and when the Giants got on the field and called the trap play being discussed on the sideline, Fluker was as good as his word, blocking Gotsis and springing Darkwa for a 47-yard run in New York's 23-10 victory.

"The thing I always say when we're on the sideline is: 'Hey, run with authority,'" Fluker said.
