Vernon Davis

The Giants came out on top, but they nearly killed themselves by blowing coverages on tight end Vernon Davis on two scoring plays. A simple wheel route to the outside went for 73 freaking yards to paydirt. Though to be fair, Davis managed to take the attention away from the play’s result by standing on the camera stand and posing, prompting an Excessive Celebration penalty and a Twitter debate.
