Giants Out Kick Bengals in Overtime
AP PhotoOff to their best start since the 2000 season, the New York Giants decided to give the fans a little drama in their 26-23 overtime victory over visiting Cincinnati. Of course, I missed all but the game winning kick — living in Redskins’ territory will do that from time to time — so there’s not much for me to comment on. Stupid Redskins.
I will say this, however. Despite six sacks from our defensive line, they still let the Bengals back into the game late and, had it not been for poor clock management on Carson Palmer’s part, very well could have given up a game winning drive. Let’s hope there are some adjustments made in next week’s bye.
With regard to the offense, it’s nice to see Kevin Boss catch his first TD before Jeremy Shockey — I’m sure that’s gotta sting just a bit. Eli looked sharp, spreading the ball around the field to eight different receivers. You’ve got to give the Bengals a bit of credit for disrupting Plaxico all game, even if he did make a clutch catch in overtime. The running crew played pretty damned well with Derrick Ward picking up where Jacobs and Bradshaw were not able to get things going. It’s nice to have this three headed running back beast — you never know who’s going to step it up and have themselves a big game.
