Abdul Carter has been benched more times for violating team rules than he has sacks in his rookie season with the New York Giants. That's not exactly how this whole thing was supposed to go when Big Blue drafted the feared Penn State edge rusher No. 3 overall back in April. But there was Carter, rooted to the sideline for the first quarter of the Giants' embarrassing 33-15 Monday-night loss to the New England Patriots.
Week 11 is in the books! It was a marquee week for benchings. Bills receiver Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch for his tardiness to meetings, Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter missed a drive after missing a walkthrough, and Cowboys receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens sat out the first series Monday after " missing some things," according to the team. It was also a marquee week for last-second, winning plays, if you're into that.
