“If my man (Brandon Aubrey) for the Cowboys didn’t have a bionic leg, we probably do win against 30 to 29 other teams. But that wasn’t the reality, and we came up short, and we have to find a way to do better and close these games out,” Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton told Greg Johnson of The Trentonian. The two-time Pro Bowler and a former UFL player kicked a 46-yard field goal on the final play of overtime after a tying 64-yarder to end regulation. What exactly happened before the kick?
