New York Giants fans, turn off those countdown clocks. Your team has finally scored a touchdown in the first half of a football game.

It took them 5 1/2 weeks to do it, or nearly 18 quarters of regular season football. But Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, 268 minutes and 20 seconds of game time since the opening play of Week 1, the Giants did it.

If your first thought is "wow, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones must have gotten off one of his very rare great throws," you are unfortunately incorrect (and most likely not a Giants fan).

The first first-half touchdown of the Giants' 2023 season was not an offensive clinic. That's because the offense wasn't even on the field. It was an interception snagged at the goal line by safety Jason Pinnock, who then ran the ball 102 yards down the field for a touchdown with just 1:40 left in the half.

The Dolphins comfortably won the game, 31-16, but it was a big play in the moment.

Sunday's interception was the fourth thrown by Fins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this season. It also equaled the longest single play of the 2023 season so far, matching a 102-yard touchdown return from Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller back in Week 2.

The Dolphins had taken an early lead, so that touchdown still left the Giants trailing 17-10. But in the third quarter, Miami picked up right where it left off. The Dolphins scored another touchdown after just three plays and 54 seconds, taking a 24-10 lead over the Giants. Tagovailoa threw his second interception of the game later in the third, giving the Giants an immediate red zone possession, but New York had to settle for a field goal after a 10-yard holding penalty.

Miami tacked on another touchdown late in the third quarter to put the game away.
