The Giants' long, miserable losing streak is finally over. But just barely.
They needed a monster game from QB Eli Manning and overtime to do it, but the Giants were able to squeak by the Atlanta Falcons, 34-31, Sunday afternoon. They got their first win since Oct. 11 thanks to a 384-yard, three-touchdown performance from their quarterback, and a game-winning 36-yard field goal from Lawrence Tynes..
It shouldn't have been nearly that close, of course. The Giants' defense, with its captain, Antonio Pierce, standing on the sideline with a bulging disc in his neck, gave up a 14-point lead in the final six minutes. In fact, they let the Falcons march 76 yards on 12 plays and get an 11-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to TE Tony Gonzalez with 28 seconds remaining to tie the game at 31-31. Continue
Yea I was at the game. Great offence bad defence. We had the game in the bag. They will not make the playoffs if they continue to play this way. Check out my blog to see more of my thoughts.
