Game Notes:
"The weather wasn't that good in the New York / New Jersey area today, so it gave us home fans a small taste of what the players were experiencing in Chicago. Mostly the wind and poor footing affected things the worst. Eli Manning didn't play his best game by far, but he did manage to lead the team to two fourth quarter touchdowns. He got a ton of help from Derrick Ward who ran for a Tiki Barber-like 154 yards and 1 touchdown on his 24 carries until he had to leave the game with an injured ankle.
Amani Toomer was the go-to guy with his 6 catches for 69 yards and Tom Coughlin had an early Xmas when the refs recognized his challenge and gave Toomer the credit he deserved for a clutch diving catch in the endzone.
They'll say they neutralized Devin Hester, but the Giants turnovers kept the ball out of his hands three times. Lawrence Tynes kept it away twice when he kicked the ball out of bounds, but that gave the Bears the ball at the 40 yard line. Taking that into account, Hester only got a shot at three Jeff Feagles punt returns and one other Tynes kickoff return, for a total of 35 yards."

Game Notes:

"Thanks mostly to Eli Manning playing so poorly from the start, the Giants were behind the whole game. The Bears secondary ranks 25th in the league and has only seven interceptions, but Manning helped them out by giving them two more. You could say he improved by cutting his interceptions down from last week's four, but he also let the ball slip out of his hands for another turnover. Like last week, all of them resulted in points by the opposition. Luckily for the Giants, the Bears gave them numerous chances to catch up, and finally, they did it with about a minute and a half left in the game.
Of course that meant that the Giants had to withstand kicking off to Devin Hester (he took it to the Chicago 41), a bunch of no huddle and shotgun passes by Rex Grossman (he got it to the Giants 28) and from there with 17 seconds left, he took three shots at the endzone - all incomplete and game finally over. Eli Manning seemed real happy on the sidelines, but he'll probably get only about a 2 day break off of this win before the questions start up again.
Derrick Ward rested his ankle and groin for a few weeks, and he had a great game filling in for an injured Brandon Jacobs, but we've probably lost him to another injury. The defense hung tough even with the replacement troops. Rookie Michael Johnson was in for Gibril Wilson and second-year corner Kevin Dockery played for Aaron Ross. Justin Tuck had 1 1/2 sacks and Kawika Mitchell was credited with 1/2 sack and led the team with 12 tackles - 8 solo."

Giants are 2 games ahead of the Lions, Cardinals and Vikings for the NFC's top wild-card spot.

In his 51st career start, it was the seventh time he's rallied the Giants to a win in the fourth quarter..

Eli Manning has led the Giants to 12 fourth-quarter comebacks that tied a game or took a lead in his 53 NFL starts, including the playoff game against the Eagles last year, when he connected with Plaxico Burress to tie a game the Giants eventually lost. Of those 12 games, the Giants have won seven..
