The Giants’ dream start to the season keeps on rolling—this time by mere inches.
New York survived its trip to Jacksonville on Sunday, beating the Jaguars by a score of 23–17 thanks to a gutsy goal line stand on the game’s final play. After Jacksonville advanced to the Giants’ 17-yard line in the game’s final minute with no timeouts, quarterback Trevor Lawrence found Christian Kirk near the end zone as time expired.
Kirk caught the ball just shy of the goal line and was immediately hit by a host of Giants defenders, who ultimately kept the wide receiver out of the paint to preserve the dramatic victory.
