The play called for Daniels to connect with a receiver on the left side – it looked to be tight end Ben Sinnott – or immediately throw it away if he wasn't open. That didn't happen. The ball was snapped with 12 seconds left and, instead of throwing it to Sinnott or out of bounds, Daniels moved around the backfield, never threw it away and was tackled as seconds ticked away.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Daniels failed to execute final play design, didn't throw away or clock it, leading to tie.

Daniels failed to execute the final play call against the Giants, which was designed for him to connect with a receiver on the left side (likely tight end Ben Sinnott) or immediately throw it away if unopened. Instead, he moved around the backfield, never threw it away, and was tackled as seconds ticked away, leading to a 27-27 tie. Head coach Dan Quinn said the sequencing did not fall on Daniels but acknowledged the quarterback did not follow the two options (outside throw or clock it), though Quinn took responsibility for putting Daniels in that spot.
