Poor clock management was a common theme in the New York Giants’ 20-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
At the end of both halves, the Giants found themselves without any timeouts. In the first half, Judge used timeouts at the 10:35 and 3:09 marks in the second quarter. At the end of the first half, the Giants had the ball with 1:36 left and no timeouts. Appearing to be in no hurry at all, running back Devontae Booker rushed the ball up the middle on third-and-1 at the Giants’ own 35-yard line, killing crucial seconds on the clock and ultimately not resulting in any scoring opportunity.
