“#Giants\u2019 fake-field-goal botch comes with complicated blame game<\/a><\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The fake field goal that should have resulted in a touchdown pass from punter\/holder Riley Dixon to tight end Evan Engram in the 37-34 loss to the Cowboys was called back by a penalty when the Giants were called for an illegal shift on Cam Fleming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just weren\u2019t set as a unit right there and that\u2019s not one person,\u2019\u2019 head coach Joe Judge said. \u201cThat ties into a couple of different things communication-wise and execution-wise.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes on The Post\u2019s \u201cBlue Rush\u201d podcast said it is the responsibility of Riley \u2014 the holder for field goals who fills the role of the quarterback on the play \u2014 to make sure his line is set before calling for the ball to be snapp<\/a>ed.<\/p>\n

\u201cCam Fleming caught a lot of heat \u2014 this is about Riley Dixon,\u2019\u2019 Tynes said. \u201cHe needs to make sure everyone is set. Listen, Riley Dixon is not under center and he\u2019s not behind the line very much calling pays or a cadence. He jumped the gun a little bit. He saw Evan Engram out there, he knew it was gonna work and he jumped the gun and he just snapped it a millisecond too fast.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
