The New York Giants went aggressive against the Pittsburgh Steelers in yesterday’s loss when cutting their deficit to one possession. Trailing by 14, they opted for a two-point try following a touchdown to make it a six-point game. The logic is that if you go for two and make it, you can go for the win on a second touchdown. If you go for two and don’t get it, you can still make it up on the second try.
Well, the Giants never got to that second try, fortunately, but the play still caused some amusement. Many talked about it being one of the worst calls in recent memory, but New York felt like Dennis Green.
