The Giants should have won, according to the former Jets quarterback.
A day of uninspiring football should have the Giants thinking about the future and the Jets embracing relevanceWith the Jets down 10-7 and driving in the last minute of the MetLife Stadium showdown, Zach Wilson hooked up with Allen Lazard for a 29-yard completion that brought the Jets within field-goal range — if they could spike the ball in time.
The officials had not officially spotted it, but back judge Bryan Neale squeezed his way to the ball, touched it and retreated. Esiason, the former Jets quarterback and current CBS Sports and WFAN voice, pointed at the lack of an official ball placement, which would have required an extra tick.“The center actually spots the ball before the spike not the official,” Esiason wrote on Twitter. “The spike play shouldn’t have happened. Game should have been over. @NFL @NFLOfficiating.
