Joe Judge Secures First Win as Giants Head Coach
Game Recap - October 21, 2020
From the minute Joe Judge took over the head coaching reins in East Rutherford, after years of working behind two of the greats in Saban and Belichick, the Giants have consistently preached about how great a coach he is. The players love to play for him because he can rally a team in the locker room and on the practice field, yet that rallying did not occur on the football field on Sundays. Through five weeks marked by close margin losses, the Giants wanted to win a game — not just for themselves, but for their coach.
On Sunday, against Ron Rivera, one of the most well-respected coaches in the league, and the Washington Football Team, Big Blue finally did that by the skin of their teeth. Behind a 49-yard keep and run by Daniel Jones and a huge fumble recovery by “Mr. Irrelevant” Tae Crowder, the New York Giants held off Washington 20-19 to secure their first win of the season.
