NY Giants DB Adoree’ Jackson: DUD

Adoree’ Jackson had the opportunity to end the game before Yoo had the chance to, and let it slip through his hands.

On 2nd-and-6 from the NY Giants’ six-yard line, Ryan tried to find rookie tight end Kyle Pitts in the back of the end zone, but Jackson dropped a would-be interception that would have slammed the door shut on Atlanta’s penultimate possession.

Instead, four plays later Ryan hit Lee Smith for a touchdown pass to tie the game at 14, with 4:16 remaining.

It’s entirely fair to wonder how different the outcome might have been had Jackson pulled down that interception.
