Game Notes:
"This was a Jets home game, but Giants have pride and they made Mark Sanchez feel anything but at home today in this game. All the Rex trash talk is now in the trash where it belongs. The Jets gave up one of the biggest plays in Giants history when Victor Cruz made that 99-yard touchdown catch. It's too bad it came in a game that many loyal Giants fans couldn't be there to see in person. Luckily, there was a big bunch that did have the opportunity since the game was played in the shared stadium and some tickets were available.
The Jets scored first on their first possession of all things, but it happened because the Giants were hit with a penalty after stopping the Jets on a fourth-and-four which allowed that drive to continue. Without that score it could have been 10-0 in favor of the Giants at the end of the half instead of 10-7. It didn't matter in the long run as the Jets were never able to catch up or take the lead after that for the rest of the game. Not that things came overall easy. I mean I couldn't believe it when Nicks dropped the ball after having done the same last week. Ramses Barden also was guilty of letting Eli Manning down, and our quarterback looked surprised at times at choices his receivers made dancing around the field.
The running game was going nowhere for a long while and the refs seemed to give every break to the Jets. In the end though, the Giants made the big plays and their fans went home with their holiday spirits intact with the 29-14 win. Now the Giants set their sites on the Cowboys next week, and guess what? - One more win and they're in!"

Game Notes:
"The Jets won the battle of 'First Downs' in the first half. They had 13 and the Giants had just 4. That's right, only 4 first downs, and they all came from passing the ball as the running game didn't exist, just 6 yards rushing on 7 attempts. The Jets were also controlling the clock almost two to one with Mark Sanchez completing about two thirds of his passes (18-28) while Eli Manning was completing under half of his (7-18). The one big difference and note the word 'big' here - was the 'big play'.
When the Giants needed it most, nearing the end of the half, down 7-3 and on a third-and-10 at their own one yard line, Victor Cruz grabbed Eli Manning's pass, did some sidestepping and took the ball 99 yards for a touchdown. That play turned the game around and shocked the Jet fans and the players as well. The Giants showed they were capable of doing things like that and everyone knew the Jets were not.
The Giants defense came to play today and even though they had just 11 sacks in their previous eight games, they kept Mark Sanchez off balance. They had one sack in the first half and added four more in the second including one in the Jets endzone for a safety. Sanchez's numbers that looked so good early on diminished as he completed only 12 of his next 31 passes for 113 yards. Sanchez finished with two interceptions and got away with a few throws that came close.
With Darrelle Revis all over Hakeem Nicks (one catch, 20 yards) and without Mario Manningham and Jake Ballard, and with his receivers dropping a few, Eli Manning completed a total of only nine passes today. He managed to make them count for 225 yards almost the same as last week when he completed 23 of 40 for 257 yards. The running game came alive in the second half and Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs, and Danny Ware rushed for over a hundred yards and 2 touchdowns and each had one catch. Combined with Victor Cruz, they had 6 of Manning's 9 completions.
Earlier in the week Justin Tuck had enough of the back and forth talk that was going on with the Jets. “Win,’’ Justin Tuck said. “That’s all that matters. Win. We don’t need to play good, we just need to win. I don’t care what happens, make sure we have more points than they do." Tuck was right in one respect, more points win the game and the Giants did that today. They have to do it one more time against the Cowboys next week to be in the playoffs. They have to forget the 'don’t need to play good' part of what he said and they may have started to do just that in the second half of today's game."

Giants have trailed in every game this season.

Giants Jason Pierre-Paul increased his sack total to 15.5 on the season.

Giants Victor Cruz 99-yard touchdown catch was the longest play from scrimmage in Giants' history. The previous longest play was a 98-yard play from Earl Morall to Homer Jones in 1966.
