Giants’ OT Loss to Cowboys Spurs Daboll’s ‘Collective’ Accountability Message

Brian Daboll frames the defeat as a collective failure.

Overview

  • Dallas forced overtime on an 18-yard Dak Prescott pass to Jake Ferguson with 18 seconds left that set up Brandon Aubrey’s 64-yard field goal, and Aubrey won it with a 46-yarder in OT.
  • Brian Daboll said he wanted tighter coverage on the late completion but emphasized the game featured numerous missed chances to close it out.
  • The Giants went 1-for-5 in the red zone, surrendered four leads including three in the final 12 minutes, and produced three total yards across two overtime possessions.
  • The head coach reiterated that the loss would not be pinned on a single snap, citing shortcomings across offense, defense, and special teams.
  • The New York Post faulted defensive coordinator Shane Bowen for a passive late call, while analysts highlighted Prescott’s anticipatory throw as the pivotal moment.
