Game Notes:
"
The Giants pulled an escape act in Detroit because they let Kitna complete a lot of passes for big yardage. Eli Manning and Jon Kitna both completed 28 passes and Kitna had almost 100 more yards than Manning, but three of Kitna's other passes went into the hands of Gibril Wilson, James Butler, and Sam Madison. The last two interceptions came on Detroit's final two drives with less than three minutes left in the game. The first would have given them the go ahead touchdown and the second would have put them at about the Giants 30 yard line. Things looked dicey for the Giants, but they managed to protect their slim 6 point lead. It sure is a good thing that Lawrence Tynes nailed all three of his field goals today."


Game Notes:
"The Giants defense held the potentially explosive Lions to just 10 points after giving up 31 to the Cowboys last week. The Giants offense looked like they were playing a bit sharper, but like last week, the Giants still had too many penalties. The one that got me was for having 12 men in the huddle and that turned a 3rd-and-1 into a 3rd-and-6 which they didn't make. Unlike last week's multiple delay of game penalties, you couldn't blame this one on Eli Manning - he's supposed to be in the huddle.
Overall Eli looked more in control this game, and with Detroit's defense moving quick off the snap, he was very effective using the hard count to draw them offsides a few times. The Giants needed this game for a wild card berth, but still this was an expensive win for the Giants. Mathias Kiwanuka broke his left leg on the Lions first drive of the game and Brandon Jacobs had to leave the game in the third quarter with a left hamstring injury."
