NFL.com - Giants coach Tom Coughlin is denying accusations that his players intentionally faked injuries to slow down the fast-moving Rams on Monday night.

In the first quarter, New York safety Deon Grant and linebacker Jacquian Williams rolled around on the ground, but the pair quickly recovered from injuries.

"Well, from my standpoint on the sideline, I thought (Grant) was cramped," Coughlin said.

"They were in a no-huddle situation, a hurry-up deal. I just thought he cramped at that time or definitely had something that was bothersome to him."

Said Coughlin: "When I looked out on the field, all I saw was the injured player."

Coughlin then was asked if employing faking injuries to slow the action could be categorized as smart football.

"That’s not very smart," he said. "That's a penalty. ... It did force a rule change, too. The only thing I would comment on is at that point in time, the only thing I noticed was a player down."

They both fell at the same time, and then the one on the right was like crap, he already fell so I'm just gonna go ahead and get up, Very classless, but then again that whole team pretty much is. Not cheating technically, but pathetic way to play the game.

Rams To File Complaint Against Giants For Faking Injures

NFL.com - Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said Tuesday that the team will file a complaint with the NFL office after the Giants appeared to fake injuries on Monday night.

New York did so in an apparent attempt to slow down the no-huddle offense.

"That'll go on the list of things we're going to send in," Spagnuolo said. "I think the league is looking into it. I'll let it run its course from that point of view."
