“#Joe Judge\u2019s culture of togetherness is saving Giants<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n First-place teams come in all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n

The Giants won ugly against the Bengals on Sunday, and call them Shrek if you like.<\/p>\n

They lost Daniel Jones to a hamstring injury in the third quarter, and special teams was a disaster, and The Fighting Joe Judges, 19-17 winners, do not have to apologize for a three-game<\/a> winning streak or not having beaten a team with a winning record or for being in first place in the NFC Least.<\/p>\n

Winning Ugly has never felt so beautiful.<\/p>\n

The danger was always that using his legs could one day be a curse as well as a blessing, and one day arrived for Daniel Jones and the Giants early in the third quarter of a 10-10 game.<\/p>\n

One minute, he was galloping for 7 yards, driving the Giants toward the end zone, and the next minute he was on his butt deep in Bengals territory clutching his right leg.<\/p>\n

And the next minute, he was sprawled out in the medical tent being examined by the trainers.<\/p>\n

He returned limping for the next series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He lasted two plays before Colt McCoy \u2014 a fairer fight now against Brandon Allen, especially with the way Jones had been connecting with Evan Engram \u2014 was summoned for his 2020 debut.<\/p>\n

Joe Judge needed heroes, and we have learned that he doesn\u2019t care who you are or where you come from as he builds his Together Blue culture.<\/p>\n

He found plenty of them.<\/p>\n

Everyone has a job to do.<\/p>\n

If you get a uniform on game day, just do your job (sound familiar)?<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this group of guys, they\u2019re a lot of fun to coach,\u201d Judge said. \u201cThey come to work every day, they\u2019re tough physically and mentally, they\u2019re very resilient, and they\u2019ve got the right mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

These 4-7 Giants do not dominate or scare anyone, and that\u2019s never what this season was going to be about.<\/p>\n

Joe Judge promised blue-collar Giants who would represent the people of this area and make them proud.<\/p>\n

As of this moment, Mission Accomplished, even though you will never get Joe Judge taking any bows for first place right now.<\/p>\n

His Giants never stop punching, and when they are knocked down, they get back up. And they get back up angry.<\/p>\n

\u201cCall us what you want to call us, we\u2019re a bunch of underdogs, man, a bunch of guys who were written off in our careers,\u201d Logan Ryan said, \u201cand that\u2019s what Joe wants. Joe wants guys with a chip on their shoulder. Joe wants guys who are tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building a culture here where, if you work hard in practice, you work hard day-to-day, you get an opportunity. When you get that opportunity, it\u2019s your job to make the most of it. \u2026 I\u2019m proud of this blue-collar chip-on-our shoulder that we have. I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCoy\u2019s job was not to lose the game, and never mind that he overthrew a wide-open Dion Lewis on what would have been a 21-yard TD and 20-10 lead, he did his job (31 passing yards, 0 turnovers).<\/p>\n

He had plenty of company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play together,\u201d Engram said.<\/p>\n

There was Wayne Gallman (24-94-1 TD), given up on by the previous coaching staff, in the end zone for the fifth consecutive game, running angry again behind Dave DeGuglielmo\u2019s offensive line.<\/p>\n

There was Niko Lalos, activated from the practice squad, an undrafted kid from Dartmouth with a dream, making a diving interception off a Darnay Holmes deflection.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest with you, we\u2019re not surprised, he was around the ball, we see that every day in practice,\u201d Judge said. \u201cPractice execution becomes game reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was the indispensable Ryan, signed right before the season, recovering a fumble with 4:12 left as Lalos was grabbing onto Drew Sample\u2019s right hand.<\/p>\n

There was Graham Gano, kicking into a net in his hotel room following a bout with COVID-19 that had him with fever and temporarily without a sense of taste, released at the end of July by the Panthers after missing all of 2019 with a leg injury, extending his streak of field goals made from 20 to 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never flinched,\u201d Engram said.<\/p>\n

And finally, after Holmes had been flagged for a suspect pass interference in the end zone on Tee Higgins and the Bengals closed to 19-17, after a Cam Fleming holding penalty forced a three-and-out, was rookie Cam Brown, who plays for friends and loved ones he has lost in his life, making a game-saving tackle at midfield on Alex Erickson.<\/p>\n

There was 10-year-journeyman Jabaal Sheard, signed Oct. 20 off the Jaguars practice squad, playing 24 snaps because Kyler Fackrell had been sidelined, strip<\/a>-sacking Allen, and there was Leonard Williams, discarded by the Jets, recording his sixth sack earlier and recovering the fumble, game over.<\/p>\n

First place.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen,\u201d Joe Judge said. \u201cWe start looking past what we have to do to get ready, this conversation\u2019s gonna be something of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

You be the Judge: His team sure is listening, and for now, the conversation is something of the present, and how sweet it is.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
