Why the squib kick? 4 questions Giants must answer after collapse

The Giants’ heartbreaking 27-26 loss to the Cowboys left open several questions, many of which were answered on Monday. But some unanswered questions remain.

Here are four:

1. Why did offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo call a pass play on third-and-goal from the Dallas 1-yard line?

We’ll find out Thursday, when he meets with the media. With the Cowboys out of timeouts and just 1:43 left on the clock, a running play would have left Dallas with about a minute remaining if the Giants failed to get in the end zone. Obviously, coach Tom Coughlin has the power to change the play, but why did McAdoo call a pass in the first place?
