The New York Giants and Washington Commanders gave us one of the most wild games of Week 15, as the Giants defense pulled off a goal line stand with less than a minute remaining to leave Landover with a 20-12 victory. There were some controversial moments during this goal-line stand, however. It did appear Curtis Samuel was interfered with in the end zone on fourth-and-goal, and then there was the Terry McLaurin fiasco.<\/p>\n
On third-and-goal, Washington running back Brian Robinson punched in a touchdown from the one-yard line to cut the Giants’ lead to just two points. However, McLaurin was flagged for lining up incorrectly, which nullified the play. When you go back and look at the play in question, McLaurin was definitely not lined up on the line of scrimmage. However, McLaurin did attempt to check with the official to see if he was lined up correctly. <\/p>\n
McLaurin moved up in his stance after checking with the referee. Did the official give him confirmation that he was then good? Check out the interaction, here:<\/p>\n
McLaurin said after the game that he felt like he was lined up correctly, and that the official was at fault for saying his adjustment sufficed. <\/p>\n
