Should Giants be more aggressive blocking field goals? | Just bad luck kickers never miss vs. Giants?

Since he tied the mark for second-longest field goal in NFL history in a walk-off win against the Giants, Panthers kicker Graham Gano has missed three PATs in six games.

Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio came off the street to win NFC Special Teams Player of the Week by going 3-for-3 on field goals, including a pressure-packed 56-yarder, against the Giants.

In a league where kickers are maddeningly inconsistent and kept on short leashes, opponents are 25-for-27 on field goals and perfect on PATs against the Giants. Go figure.

And here comes Jake Elliott, whose 61-yard field goal on the final play of his second career game lifted the Eagles past the Giants in Philadelphia last season.
