As I had hoped, the New York Giants came through again today, destroying the Green Bay Packers by the score of 37-20. Were it not for some terrible officiating calls (ruling a clear fumble as not a fumble after replay review, and a non-existent blow to the head call), the Packers would not have even scored one touchdown.
The Giants defense was stifling, making Green Bay work hard for every first down. The Giants were +3 in the turnover battle, and the 17 point victory margin doesn’t really show how much the Giants dominated this matchup. The Packers receivers did their part, dropping countless passes all night.
Eli Manning once again was the best player out there on the field, with the second best player being WR Hakeem Nicks. Manning threw for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns, 165 of those yards and 2 of those touchdowns going to Nicks. How amazing was that Hail Mary pass at the end of the half?
Next up for the Giants is a trip to San Francisco to face the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. The only downside coming out of this game is that we won’t see Tom Coughlin’s Red Face in the warmer San Francisco weather next week. Other than that, I can’t wait!
