Game Notes:
"It was the kind of football weather
that's a little tough on the fans, but you felt kinda good knowing that
the Saints, who play in a domed stadium, couldn't be very comfortable
at all. Add to that they soon realized that every time they kicked the
ball off to David Wilson, it was coming right back at them in a big way.
Wilson's first kickoff return was 58 yards and the next he returned 97
yards for a touchdown. Wow! He had some game. Aside from the great special
teams work, he ran for 100 yards and scored 2 more touchdowns. (Autographs
pleeeze..)
Eli Manning still has me wondering where he's at with some of his throws
and he had two interceptions, but you can't discount how he runs the offense.
Besides that he did throw touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett, Domenik
Hixon, Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz. There was lots of action in this
game and the Giants pulled off a win when you thought they might be slumping.
The Giants are still on top in the NFC East and any fan would be happy
to go home wet with a 52-27 win."
Game
Notes:
"The Giants got a big boost from
the game David Wilson played. He was a one man team on offense and special
teams. Antrel Rolle called for more 'dog' from his teammates and certainly
got it from Stevie Brown pulling in two interceptions. Drew Brees, who
tops the league in touchdown passes, managed only one today against this
fired up defense. They did give up too many rushing yards and some big
passing plays, but made some as well, including forcing those four turnovers.
Overall the Giants saw Eli Manning throwing four touchdowns which is something
he hasn't done before in this season. Manning seemed more in tune with
his receivers. They saw David Wilson have a breakout game with three touchdowns,
two rushing and one on a kick off return. Atlanta will have a lot to prepare
for next week, getting ready for a team which looks to be putting things
together at the right time."
