During the Giants vs. Cowboys game, Giants coach Brian Daboll made an early mistake by throwing a challenge flag on a play involving Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks, then attempting to pick it up. However, the referees charged the Giants a timeout, and Daboll ended up burning a challenge on an easy call. This decision left the Giants down a timeout and challenging a play with no chance of being overturned.
Brian Daboll challenges Brandin Cook's losing the ball. He's probably gonna lose that one.
First play of Cowboys game moved like final minute of an NBA game. Giants coach Brian Daboll throws challenge flag, apparently decides he doesn't want to challenge, apparently changes mind when told he just burned timeout, and then burns a challenge instead on easy call.
Well, that was weird ... Brian Daboll threw the challenge flag on the second play of the game on a play where Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks was clearly down. Then the refs said he wasn't challenging, but the Giants would be charged a timeout because he threw the flag ...
So Brian Daboll with an early mistake. Throws the challenge flag, tries to pick it up. Too late. Now they're challenging a play that has no chance of being overturned. Bad. #Giants #Cowboys
Not the hottest start for Daboll. Threw the challenge flag, then picked it up when it was obvious it wasn't a fumble. But ... you can't do that. So they'll do the pointless review and the Giants will be down a timeout.
