It wasn't pretty, nonetheless it doesn't need to be. The Giants used tough in opposition to an over-performing Texans group to move to 6-2 on the period with their fifth immediate win. The Texans alternatively have now dropped 12 immediate on the road and fall to 2-6 on the season. Despite their resurgence (and arrogance) they just did not have satisfactory to conquer a Giants group that was completely riddled with injury.
Tiki Barber experienced a nice rebound game, rushing for 114 yards on 16 carries and his very first touchdown while using year. Jeremy Shockey also experienced a nice match netting 8 receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown. All things considered as Eli Manning did not use a bad match either. with out his assortment one receiver, Plaxico Burress, Eli went 17 of 28 for 179 yards and a touchdown pass. The quantities themselves do look ugly, but there are already a great offer of dropped passes and a non-touchdown call up that brought one back. Most importantly he played fantastic within the fourth quarter when it mattered most.
On defense the Giants are already in shambles also it only got worse while using lack of Michael Strahan. But they used tough within the 2nd 1 / 2 and Antonio Pierce was capable to pressure a fumble late within the fourth quarter that sooner or later on led to the Giants victory. Mathias Kiwanuka also outplayed Mario Williams, which must have been a little moral victory to the very last choose while using very first round.
One aspect the Giants must handle this week, other than injuries could potentially be the play of those exceptional Teams. Chad Morton is not acquiring the employment executed and they've got no punt come back protection to communicate of, but no should think about that right now. take on pleasure in the win Giants fans, as ugly since it was.
