Why was Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown on the sideline Sunday?

Early in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, television cameras showed New York Giants assistant general manager on the sideline having a conversation with backup quarterbacks Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle.

That is, honestly, an unusual thing. High-ranking front office members like the GM or assistant GM are normally in a booth somewhere. At MetLife Stadium, booths for ownership and front office members are on the pressbox level. So, we see them coming and going.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll on Monday tried to explain Brown’s presence on the sideline.

“It’s not because of strategy,” Daboll said.
