Ben McAdoo is so enthralled by the kicking competition between Aldrick Rosas and Mike Nugent that for a moment he was almost rooting against his own offense.
That was in the fourth quarter on Friday’s preseason game against the Steelers when the Giants were down by eight and driving.
“We had the ball on the 35-yard line,” McAdoo said on Saturday. “I wanted to kick it there, but I also wanted to give the guys the chance to go down and score to give us a chance to tie the ballgame.”
The Giants turned the ball over on downs at the Steelers’ 35.
