After claiming he was told not to score late in the New York Giants' heartbreaking 27-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, running back Rashad Jennings apologized for putting quarterback Eli Manning in the middle of a media firestorm.
According to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano, the 30-year-old back said he was told not to score a touchdown on first or second down in order to run out the clock. Manning subsequently threw an incomplete pass on third down, which gave Dallas enough time to drive for the winning score.
