Brian Daboll is celebrating with his team.
He deserves it.
The rookie Giants head coach, in the season-opener on Sunday against the Titans, played to win. The Giants came within one point of Tennessee thanks to a late Daniel Jones touchdown pass to tight end/fullback Chris Myarick. Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka then elected to go for two and the lead — they were successful. A Jones shovel pass was caught by Saquon Barkley, who broke the plane to give the Giants a 21-20 edge.
Tennessee then retained possession with about a minute remaining and drove down the field, but Randy Bullock eventually missed a game-winning 47-yard attempt.
