It didn’t take long for Jake Kubas to fit right in with the rest of the mistake-prone Giants.
Making his NFL debut on a shorthanded offensive line, the undrafted rookie committed a penalty and missed a block that essentially cost the Giants six fourth-quarter points on two field-goal attempts Sunday
Perhaps sensing that Kubas might be a little hesitant on his next field-goal snap, Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi — one of the NFL’s best special teams coordinators — targeted Kubas when the Giants lined up for the would-be game-tying 35-yarder with 11 seconds remaining. It was similar to a play that the Giants used to block a last-minute field goal in their last win — Oct. 6 against the Seahawks.
“When that’s executed as well as they did, it’s hard to stop,” Gano said. “I don’t think you can blame our guys at all on that. I feel like I did hit a good kick. It was still elevating when he blocked it.”
