Context

... No extra. Need maybe "EXPANDED:" and "CONTEXT:" exactly. Plain text. We can include two paragraphs in expanded. Under 120 total. Need no copying source phrasing. We used "clock management" maybe common phrase from headline/summary. Is that copying? It's topic phrase, okay. "late-game decisions" from summary? It's common. "Devin McCourty and Jason Garrett" names. "New York Giants" etc. Fine. Potential issue: "Related clips in same feed also questioned Quinn’s clock management, with one asking whether it should cost him his job" drawn from "Quinn’s clock management a ‘fireable offense’". That's okay. "another highlighting a coach’s harsh description of the Giants-Commanders game" drawn from "Tomlin: Giants vs. Commanders was ‘disgusting’". Good. But "coach's harsh description" not naming Tomlin. Fine. "Together, these items show the loss generated broader criticism beyond the initial breakdown." Is that analysis? It's okay but maybe "show" as fact? It's from material. Could be okay.
