In a halftime interview during the game against the Los Angeles Rams, John Harbaugh expressed concerns about his team's scoring strategy. The New York Giants were trailing 14-3 at the time and had just settled for a field goal rather than attempt a fourth down conversion from the Rams' six-yard line. Harbaugh indicated that field goals would not secure a win. The Giants, having lost starting quarterback Jaxson Dart to injury, managed another field goal in the third quarter to pull the score to 21-6.
