Brian Daboll’s Giants stun Titans with late 2-point conversion

Brian Daboll was brought into the change the culture with the New York Giants. Part of that must mean playing for the win and not settling for a tie and seeing what happens in overtime.

The Giants used a late 2-point conversion to topple Tennessee, 21-20, in their season opener on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

Big Blue was trailing 13-0 at the half before some big plays brought it into a  tie.

The Titans went ahead 20-13 on a third-quarter TD pass by Ryan Tannehill to set the stage for Daboll’s fourth-quarter gamble.

Daniel Jones led a 12-play, 73-yard drive over 4:21 that concluded with a TD pass to Chris Myrick.

That’s when Daboll, who came over from Buffalo where he was offensive coordinator, pushed all his chips to the middle.

And to show how much of a gambler he is, Daboll called a running play for the win.

Saquon Barkley barreled into the end zone and the Daboll era was 1-0.
