The New York Giants entered their matchup agains the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5 as seven-point underdogs.
Between playing in enemy territory at Lumen Stadium, one of the toughest environments for away teams, and having lost six of their last seven games against Seattle, things looked bleak for New York on Sunday.
With the Giants up, 23-20, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith got kicker Jason Myers in position to tie the game with 55 seconds left in regulation. However, Giants linebacker Isaiah Simmons blocked Myers’ 47-yard field-goal attempt and Bryce Ford-Wheaton scooped up the ball and scored. New York’s defense held Seattle and they won, 29-20.
The Giants, after winning their second game of the season, couldn’t wait to celebrate. However, wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson’s decision to live-stream their locker room party on his Instagram Stories did not sit well with head coach Brian Daboll.
“Stop posting that s—,” Daboll can be heard yelling before the video immediately cuts off.
Fans strongly reacted to Daboll’s interaction with Robinson, which quickly went viral on social media. One man wrote, “Daboll must be fun at parties.” Another fan wrote, “Daboll gonna whip them boys for posting this.” One viewer wrote of Robinson’s reaction, “bro was terrified LMAO.”
One person commented, “I feel like he’s doing his part to protect the NFLPA. It doesn’t align with the message to not have media and protecting your privacy and dignity to be live streaming people in a locker room.”
After Daboll and the Giants return back to New York, they will look to stay the win column when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football in Week 6.
