The New York Giants stunned the Green Bay Packers 24-22 on Monday Night Football.
Like so many of the Giants’ wins over the last two years, this game was anything but a pretty one. This game was widely expected to be a loss for the Giants, but it wound up coming down to the wire following an unforced Saquon Barkley fumble late in the fourth quarter.
The Packers were able to score a late go-ahead touchdown, but an advised wide receiver run fell came up short on a two point conversion attempt.
A 32-yard throw, catch, and run from Tommy DeVito and Wan’Dale Robinson set the Giants up for the game-winning 36-yard field goal. DeVito went 4 of 4 for 53 yards on the game-winning drive.
The Giants have thrived off of turnovers over the last three weeks. They had six against the Washington Commanders, three against the New England Patriots, and another four (three takeaways and a turnover on downs) against the Packers. This game, Kayvon Thibodeaux forced a fumble on a Jordan Love run, Jason Pinnock took advantage of a terrible decision for an interception, and the special teams came up with a muffed punt. They also benefitted from a missed field goal for a turnover on downs.
Shohei Ohtani is moving just 31 miles for his next work address, but also into another stratosphere.
The most closely followed free agency in MLB history concluded Saturday when the two-way star reached agreement with the Dodgers on a 10-year contract worth a record $700 million.
Ohtani announced his decision in a statement.
“To all the fans and everyone involved in the baseball world, I apologize for taking so long to come to a decision,” Ohtani said. “I have decided to choose the Dodgers as my next team.”
Ohtani’s deal includes “unprecedented” deferrals — including the majority of his salary, according to sources — allowing the Dodgers the financial flexibility for other moves.
