It was not lost on Xavier McKinney that Gano had connected on a 51-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter following a 36-yarder and a 33-yarder in the first half.
There was an unmistakable bounce in his step as John Mara headed for a winning home locker room. 2-0 Giants 19, Panthers 16
It was Gano’s fourth field goal of the afternoon, this one a 56-yarder with 3:34 left, that made the exit to the parking lots far different for the joyous Big Blue army than the all-too familiar trudge that always left the diehards more deflated than one of Tom Brady’s old footballs. Graham Gano celebrates after his go-ahead field goal.It was Gano who broke down the team in this Deja Blue postgame locker room this way: “I appreciate y’all. Let’s keep grinding, all right? Let’s keep grinding.
Daniel Jones did not waver in the fourth quarter after hearing the boo birds for another slow start, after overthrowing a wide-open Sterling Shepard deep downfield, when he scrambled up the middle for 5 yards to get Gano closer for his 51-yarder. And, even more critically, when he scrambled up the middle for 11 yards on third-and-6 from the Giants’ 40 with 1:50 left on a perfect play call from offensive coordinator Mike Kafka to earn himself a pair of victory kneel downs.
“I’m just thankful for the opportunities, and thankful Coach trusted me to kick into the wind like that,” Gano said.
