Giants and Eli finally get their playoff victory. Beat still resting Bucs 24-14.

Postgame Recaps, Storylines, and News

Eli Manning played mistake-free football to spark the Giants over the Bucs in Tampa. The quarterback threw two touchdown passes and didn't turn the ball over in his first playoff victory.

Conversely, Jeff Garcia struggled to get the offense going for Tampa. He threw two interceptions and saw the Giants score 24 unanswered points after jumping out 7-0.

The Giants moved to 8-1 away from home and has won every road game since falling in its season opener at Dallas. The Giants gets a chance to diminish that blemish in a much bigger matchup next Sunday against the Cowboys.
