Saturday wasn’t an ideal place to be for the New York Giants. Before they even had to take on the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles in a road divisional round game, they were without water in their downtown hotel. (Which had some speculating about “sabotage.)
And after the Eagles quickly took a first-possession lead on a Dallas Goedert touchdown, New York’s answer drive would be temporarily derailed. No, not by any defender or nuance in the Philadelphia defensive scheme. The first-down chain broke, leading to a stoppage in play as on-field staff worked to repair it.
