How did the New York Giants, in what was a one-score game for the entire second half, end up throwing a franchise record 63 passes on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles?
“Sixty-three times is a lot to throw the ball but situational football, that's how it went,” coach Ben McAdoo said during a Friday evening conference call.
But, did it have to go that way?
In the first half, which ended with the Giants trailing, 21-13, Eli Manning threw 27 passes while the Giants ran the ball 16 times.
