Overview

  • Starting at left tackle, James Hudson committed two unnecessary roughness fouls and two false starts and also allowed a sack on the Giants’ opening possession.
  • The sequence cost roughly 40 yards and undercut a 51-yard completion to Wan’Dale Robinson, and the 16-play drive ended with a 38-yard Graham Gano field goal.
  • Per the FOX broadcast, it was the first time this century that one player drew four penalties on a single drive.
  • Brian Daboll replaced Hudson after the series, with rookie Marcus Mbow taking over at left tackle on the next drive.
  • Hudson was in the lineup because Andrew Thomas was inactive, underscoring concerns about the Giants’ offensive line depth.
