K Graham Gano – STUD

Gano made a pair of field goals on Sunday night, including a 39-yarder.

While the offense struggled mightily, it’s easy to wonder if the outcome might have been different — or at the very least if the Giants’ play-calling late would have been different had the Giants kicked two early field goals rather than gone for it on two 4th downs in the red zone in the first half, which would have made it a one-score game inside of 5:00 to go.

For the season, Gano has now made 28-of-29 field goal attempts.
