Riley Dixon’s last-minute punt helped Giants avoid disaster
There were 31 seconds remaining and the Giants were clinging to a 38-35 lead when Adam Humphries went back to field a punt for the Buccaneers.
“Originally they had ‘10’ back there and it was I’m just gonna try to pin ’em deep and make them go a long ways,” Giants punter Riley Dixon told The Post.
After an intentional delay-of-game penalty on the Giants, No. 10 trotted off the field for the Bucs and No. 11 took his place. Boos and jeers cascaded down at MetLife Stadium on DeSean Jackson, one of the most despised and feared Giants opponents of the past decade.
