23 Nov
Summary
- A trick play with a pitch and lateral sparked a Giants touchdown.
- Jameis Winston threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson.
- This play gave the Giants a 7-0 lead early in the game.
In a surprising turn of events, the New York Giants orchestrated a clever trick play to score against the Detroit Lions. During their initial possession, on a critical third-and-short situation, running back Devin Singletary took a pitch, sprinted to the right, and then executed a daring lateral pass back to quarterback Jameis Winston.
Winston, stepping up after receiving the unconventional pass, launched a deep ball approximately 50 yards into the end zone. The pass found an open Wan'Dale Robinson, who secured the touchdown, much to the surprise of the Lions' defense. This play was instrumental in establishing an early lead.
The successful touchdown gave the Giants a 7-0 lead after only four offensive plays. The bold execution of this trick play not only put points on the board but also demonstrated the Giants' willingness to employ creative strategies to gain an advantage.
