Think it’s been a long time since the Giants have been in a playoff game? Consider that it’s been even longer since Josh Johnson has thrown a meaningful NFL pass. Then consider that he’s the only backup quarterback on the Giants’ roster since Ryan Nassib was placed on injured reserve last week.
If anything, that’s a reason to give Johnson a handful of snaps on Sunday against Washington. Especially since he joined the Giants late, claimed off waivers after the final cuts, and has never even taken a snap with this offense in a game situation and has had limited work with them in practices as a third-stringer for most of the year.
