Why the Giants’ gritty win in Seattle showed Brian Daboll was right to take over play-calling

There is a wall in the Giants’ facility that is lined with one meaningful photo from each preseason, regular-season and playoff victory during the Brian Daboll regime.

It’s OK if the addition in the works to commemorate Sunday’s 29-20 win against the Seahawks is just a photo of Daboll wearing a headset.

Playing without the injured duo of leading receiver Malik Nabers and leading rusher Devin Singletary — who combined to account for 55 percent of the offensive yardage through the first four games — the Giants had their biggest offensive outburst in 20 games and their fifth biggest of Daboll’s 39-game tenure.

Why? Because Daboll was calling the plays, pushing the right buttons at the right times and creating a sideline advantage, whether with a run-pass balance or scheming separation to make easier throws for quarterback Daniel Jones.
