Birds win the toss, and as is their norm, they have elected to defer

Birds with a 4th & 1 on their 2nd drive. They're going for it (though in their defensive half) ...

Giants jump offsides, so McKee doesn't get to attempt a tush-push

3rd & 3, and Goedert drops the pass.

Elliott in to attempt a 39-yard FG, and he hooks it wide. smh

Still 7-0, Birds

Need Jake straightened out for playoffs. The radio said he was talking to Mann about the hold. I wonder if they bring Detmer back for the playoffs?

And the Birds promptly turn it over, as they can't get a 1st down, after going for it on 4th & 2

Dotson with his 3rd FC of a punt today.

Birds take over at their 43 (I think)

Correction, they spot him at the 39

a 3 and out for the Birds, as a nothing run on 1st down, Dotson got held on a pass attempt (not called on 2nd down, and McKee is sacked on 3rd down.

a low, line-drive punt, and the Giants return to around the Birds' 37 (I think)
