Leaving no stone unturned, Giants first-year head coach Ben McAdoo said he studied the way the sun came into the building and tried to navigate around it.
“Going into the game, we had some pictures of the past, noticed from the 2014 game how it comes in and shines in from the west in the second quarter at times, into the third and fourth quarter, how that impacts things,” McAdoo said Monday. “And if you have a chance to help yourself in the kicking game and on offense and defense with the glare, you do that. If you don’t, you have to learn to play through it. Whether you’re looking into it or it’s at your back, it’s gonna impact both sides of the ball. If you’re a quarterback and you’re looking into it, it’s in your eyes. It’s better for the receivers that way, but it’s tougher in coverage and vice versa.”[\quote]
