That weird Giants play call wasn’t Pat Shurmur’s fault

It seems like there was miscommunication on the two-point conversion the Giants failed to convert in Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars.

It was odd at the time, handing off to Saquon Barkley the play after he scored on a 68-yard touchdown run to cut the Jacksonville lead to five points with 10:39 remaining. Coach Pat Shurmur said the initial play call was a pass, but quarterback Eli Manning called an audible to a run because of the look he got from the Jaguars defense.

At first when asked about the play, Manning didn’t mention an audible, saying they nearly converted it, though it was “tough” for Barkley after running so far on the previous play.
