Anyone watch SNF? Giants up by 3, 3rd down and goal inside the Cowboys 2, under 2 minutes left in the game, Cowboys with no timeouts remaining. Eli rolls out, under pressure, throws the ball away. Giants take a FG, make it a 6 point lead, Cowboys mount a game winning drive, scoring a touchdown with less than 10 seconds left.
Why in the hell didn't Eli take the sack? If anything, it would have helped his FG kicker to get a few more yards away from the goal posts and more importantly, could have taken another 30 seconds off the clock.
Eli Manning is one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league. I think he scored something like a 37 on his Wonderlic when he was a rookie, which is very good. So where was his head on that play?
