Giants keep tempting fate with horrible end-game habits

No one wants to hear about clock management after a victory, but there is no way the Giants should have been throwing the ball with 3:51 remaining, down on the Buffalo 8-yard line, in command with a 14-point lead.

The Giants passed it on second and third down — Eli Manning changed the call from a run to a pass on second down — taking virtually no time off the clock before Manning threw his first interception of the season.

There is a time to be bold, and this wasn’t one of those times. Run, run, run, kick the chip-shot field goal, go ahead by 17 points with about three minutes left — or with the Bills having used their timeouts.
