New York Giants place kicker Younghoe Koo (37) makes an extra point during the second quarter against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Dec. 1, 2025.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The New York Giants' special teams unit didn't have its proudest half against the New England Patriots on "Monday Night Football."

After allowing a 94-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter, the field-goal unit came onto the field in a 17-7 game with 6:35 remaining in the second quarter.

The snap from Casey Kreiter was high and not handled well by punter Jamie Gillan, who is the holder in the operation. Younghoe Koo, the kicker, looked slightly hesitant coming into his kick and his right foot became stuck in the Gillette Stadium turf.

Koo's trip forced Gillan to pick the ball up and the punter tried to scramble, but he lost 12 yards and the play went into the record books as a sack.
