Robert Griffin III and Colin Cowherd react to the New York Giants firing HC Brian Daboll, discuss Caleb Williams’ clutch performance vs. the Giants, and whether or not Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are collapsing.
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky said Monday he believed that the New York Giants should have given head coach Brian Daboll another year because of his budding relationship with Jaxson Dart.
The Giants fired Daboll after the team blew another fourth-quarter lead. This time, it came against the Chicago Bears. Orlovsky said on ESPN the Giants may have jumped the gun early on the Daboll era.

"I’m of the belief that this is a mistake by the New York Giants. It was clear that the quarterback and head coach had something going together – at least there’s production, performance together and hope," the ESPN NFL analyst said. "The fourth-quarter leads are obviously something that you’re sitting there killing yourself over. This team lost its best player and then they lost probably their second or third best player, certainly an offensive weapon, in (Cam) Skattebo. The fact that they built these leads should warrant something.
"The reality is this defense that has something like a cajillion dollars or early draft picks had 10-point fourth-quarter leads four different times this year and they couldn’t find ways to secure the lead either. So, as much as we want to sit there and say Daboll didn’t get it done, a lot of the high-prize defensive talent didn’t get it done as well."
