Adoree’ Jackson of the New York Giants was in coverage with his back to the line of scrimmage, so he was oblivious. Kayvon Thibodeaux sacked Lamar Jackson, jarring the football free.
Adoree’ Jackson, on the other hand, didn’t need to witness the play to know the Giants were going to win the game at that time.
He heard all he needed to know in the final seconds of Sunday’s stunning 24-20 triumph against the Baltimore Ravens.
“The noise of the audience, baby,” Jackson told NorthJersey.com, a site affiliated with the USA TODAY Network. “I heard them and recognized what they were, turned to see the ball bouncing out there, and said, ‘We got this.’ It’s all over.'”
And, as Jackson predicted, the Giants took advantage of Leonard Williams’ fumble with 90 seconds remaining.
