Faking injuries in football: A look back

A. Isaac Senior Editor

Last night, the Giants clearly faked injuries to slow down the Rams offense. A tactic that is becoming more and more common as teams, both in college and in the pros, go to a no-huddle attack.

Here are some of the more blatant ones just in the last year.

Cal-Oregon

Stephen F. Austin-Texas A&M

Stanford-Oregon

Nebraska-Texas

Patriots-Browns

And if you think this is the first time the Giants have pulled the move, listen to retired defensive end Michael Strayhan weigh in on this particular event during Super Bowl XLII.

What'd you think of this?
