Giants win 6th straight
13-10 over Dolphins in Englands
first NFL game.
They mucked
their way through a steady rain.
They played as if they were in a
London fog.
The NFL's first
regular-season trip overseas was
every bit as sloppy as it was
predictable Sunday. Eli Manning
threw for only 59 yards but ran
for New York's only touchdown to
lift the Giants to a mud-caked
13-10 victory over the
still-winless Miami Dolphins.
The Giants (6-2) had more
riding on this game, coming in
with a five-game winning streak
and in no mood to take a
3,500-mile trip to London to
make history on behalf of the
NFL. But Brandon Jacobs helped
make the journey a success,
running for 131 yards, the
second straight week he's hit a
career high...more
In a nearly flawless performance, Eli Manning threw two touchdowns, Brandon Jacobs ran for two more and the unbeaten Giants scored on their first five possessions in a 44-6 victory that embarrassed the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday....
Justin Tuck swatted Marc Bulger's pass out of the air, plucked it from his shoulder pad, and then had time to take in the scenery en route to the end zone. His 41-yard interception return in the fourth quarter was one of several big plays by the New York Giants' defense in another stifling effort...
They almost didn't make the playoffs last year, and won the whole thing. The Giants bring back plenty of talent although Michael Strahan has retired and Jeremy Shockey is off to New Orleans. Eli Manning is a different quarterback, confident and solidly the offensive leader. Brandon Jacobs spearhead a running back by committee approach that seems to work in NY for some reason. The defense will still get after the quarterback, and the Giants have a mental toughness that is unmatched by any other team, including the vaunted Patriots...
Its not often you see a team picking last have a really good draft, but the Giants did very well, they locked in on FS Kenny Phillips early on and didn't stray...
Eli Manning finally proved that he is more than just Peyton’s little brother. He led his team to the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. Sure, the spread was bigger when the Patriots upset the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, but the spread is just a number. This year’s Pats were supposed to be the first team since the ’72 Dolphins to go undefeated. The Giants weren’t supposed to make the playoffs...
The Dolphins won Sunday with ball control, a smothering defense and a few offensive frills. Brown scored the decisive touchdown from the single-wing formation the Dolphins revived two weeks ago, and a goal-line stand in the fourth quarter preserved a seven-point lead...
Ronnie Brown scored a team-record four touchdowns rushing and threw for another—with four of the scores coming on direct snaps to the running back— as Miami shocked New England 38-13 Sunday...
Kurt Warner was completing pass after pass in a flashback to his heady MVP and Super Bowl days. This performance came at age 37 for an Arizona team that may finally be escaping its poor history after a 31-10 victory over Miami that has the Cardinals 2-0 for the first time in 17 years...
The biggest surprise for us is how well they are playing together all of a sudden and how much a change at the top has meant to this organization. Still, the Dolphins have issues, I think that is easy to say when a team is 1-15. The Tuna has entered the building and already you can see a difference in the way they carry themselves, and in the front office moves...
The Dolphins had an impressive draft, First they signed OT Jake Long as first overall choice last Tuesday Long will be the starter on the left side for many years...
