Not having a kicker after Graham Gano pulled his hamstring trying to chase down a returner on the opening kickoff influenced New York's decision-making the rest of the way.
Daboll elected to go for it on fourth-and-4 from the Commanders' 22-yard line rather than attempt a field goal with Gillan.
The Giants had kicking concerns coming into the game. Gano was added to the injury report on Saturday with a right groin injury, but it was his hamstring that caused the problem.
'We went for it there at the end of the game... it was the way we were playing was better than making a 39- or 40-yard field goal,' Daboll said.
