Mr. Consistency

Graham Gano picked up where he left off, prior to testing positive for COVID-19.

With :21 remaining in the first quarter, Gano ran up the second-longest made field goal streak in Giants franchise history to 21 consecutive games, when he sneaked in a 49-yard field goal just inside the upright to tie the game at 10 apiece.

Gano added field goals from 40, 32, and 39 yards, keeping his streak intact.

By game’s end, Gano had made 24 consecutive field goal tries.

While quarantined, Gano practiced his footwork and kicking form by installing a kicking net in his hotel room. The practice certainly paid off, just as Gano continues to pay dividends as one of the franchise’s most impactful offseason additions. Gano might also be the best player on the roster.
