Dan Fouts’ call was just as aggressive as Tom Coughlin’s.
The big difference is the CBS voice, a Hall of Fame quarterback, won’t be the subject of any second guessing. And no one will be calling for him to fade into the sunset and relinquish his role as Ian (The Bird) Eagle’s partner.
The Giants had taken 11:21 off the clock, up 20-10 on the Jets in the fourth, when Coughlin decided to go for it on fourth-and-two inside the five rather than attempting a short field goal, which if successful would have forced the Jets to score two touchdowns to win.
