The moment might have just been a light-hearted response to the team celebrating their win, but it might have also been a serious moment for Daboll. The Giants did get a big win against the Seahawks, but the team is still 2-3 on the season.
Celebrating is one thing, but excessive celebration while still struggling is something that might have irked Daboll. He is likely to speak to reporters about the win and the celebration shutdown, which has now gone viral.
The Giants looked fantastic in their game against the Seahawks. Quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 257 yards, and two touchdowns, and has a passer rating of 109.6. Running back Tyron Tracr Jr. put 129 yards on the ground while wide receiver Darius Slayton secured 122 yards and one touchdown in the air.
The Giants’ defense also came away with seven sacks. Both sides of the ball played complementary football, and they can now enjoy a big win. However, there is a lot more football to play.
New York has put together wins against the Cleveland Browns and Seahawks so far this season. There is more work to be done if the Giants are to climb out of the bottom of the NFC and hope for a playoff berth.

The NFC East is also stacked with talented teams, with the Washington Commanders leading the way with a 4-1 record. The Dallas Cowboys are second with a 3-2 record, and the Philadelphia Eagles are third with a 2-2 record.
The Commanders look like the real deal, and it will be tough for any of the NFC East teams to unseat them. However, there is plenty of football left to play. That is something that Daboll knows all too well, which is why he chose to shut down the excessive celebration that was streamed live.
