The New York Giants got it done today, but not before blowing a 14-point 4th quarter lead. The Giants would need overtime to get the job done against the, now struggling Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons were without their stud tailback Michael Turner or their 3rd down back Jerius Norwood. Jason Snelling didn't quite fill the void only rushing for 76 on 25 touches. He did manage to score 2 touchdowns, but the dirty work was done by Matty Ice and Tony Gonzalez.

The Giants did not have the day they wished for with their running game. Jacobs, nor the injured Ahmad Bradshaw did not get anything going, and 3rd-string back Danny Ware only saw 2 carries for 15 yards. Eli Manning decided to light it up throwing for 384 yards and 3 touchdowns, 2 of them being to tight end Kevin Boss. The New York football Giants sat back fat and happy after gaining a 14 point cushion in the 4th quarter and watched Matt Ryan march his team down the field quickly. The Giants seem to fall in love with the prevent defense when they have a lead in the 4th quarter. All it has done for them is give up touchdowns, and it allows teams to get back into the game. On the last play of a game with a hail mary in the works might be the time to use that defensive package, not the entire quarter, c'mon son! Bottom line, the Giants escaped with something they had not seen in 42 days, a victory!

New York will only have a couple days to prepare for the Denver Broncos on Thanksgiving night. The Broncos are mighty cold, like so cold to where if they were a Coors' Light, the mountains would be a vibrant bluish hue because they have lost 4 straight. The Giants must keep the pressure on because its just as big of a game for them as it is the opposition. Thanksgiving night at 7:30, November 26th, turn on your television set, (as long as the package is NFL Network is friendly) and get ready for Big Blue to help you digest that robust meal you just ate.
