Giants 41, Rams 13
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty ImagesIt’s times like this that living in the Washington, DC metro area sucks. Instead of watching the Giants roll over the Rams with a huge fourth quarter burst, I was suffering through the Redskins win over the Saints. Luckily NFL.com has a nice highlight reel of the game’s major plays.
From what I’ve read and seen this afternoon in terms of replays and highlights, the defense was stellar allowing that fluke 45 yard bomb to Holt as the only touchdown. And talk about stepping up in a time of need. Justin Tuck ends the day with two sacks and an interception returned for six.
Not only am I a fan of his skills on the field, but his demeanor off the field in post-game interviews is mature and measured. Not once did he take credit for the defense’s performance, simply stating that, as cliche as it may seem, was all a team effort. It’s refreshing to see guys like this in the league.
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty ImagesOffensively, Coughlin more than made up for his lack of use with regard to Ahmad Bradshaw. The second year running back score twice with a smooth swing pass and a slashing 31 yard dash to pay dirt. That kid is freakin’ lightening in a bottle, man.
Of course, we can’t forget Manning who finished the game 20-29 for 260 yards and three touchdowns — and no interceptions. Sure, it was the Rams, but still nothing wrong with those numbers on your 12 road win in a row.
