In Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants lore, Sunday night's contest turned out to be one of the weirdest and wildest moments ever.
With the Giants up 23-20 and just under two minutes remaining, the Cowboys were clinging to the last thread of hope with one timeout left and Big Blue four yards away from putting six points on the board. After they were forced to settle for a field goal, Tony Romo put together a quick 1:27 touchdown drive and give Dallas the lead and ultimately, the victory.
The following day, Rashad Jennings revealed that Eli Manning told him to not score when receiving the hand-off on two different occasions.
Jennings' comments put the spotlight on Manning, resulting in some not so favorable responses from the often times cruel New York media.
Eli spoke with the media and put the blame on his shoulders while, behind the scenes, Jennings and Manning put any misunderstanding to rest. However, it didn't stop the Giants running back from penning a piece in the New York Post, apologizing to his quarterback, head coach Tom Coughlin, the entire organization and the fans.
First of all, let me say that I want to apologize from my heart for the negative light that I unintentionally cast my quarterback and friend Eli Manning in. I continue to have the utmost respect for him, and I have complete trust in his leadership," Jennings writes in the op-ed. "It is a strange and unwelcome feeling I have that after all these years as a professional football player, I finally get to experience the other side of how words can be misconstrued."
Jennings went on to talk about what happened after his comments went public and more. Click here to read the piece in its entirety.
