Game Notes:
"Wow, what a game and it was filled with a lot of surprises. Who would have thought that Aaron Ross, who was effectively benched last week for his gameplay, would be the spark for this game? The first points came as a result of his interception, after Eli Manning followed that up with a pass to Brandon Jacobs that went 40 yards for a touchdown. The Giants were up 7-0.
Who would have thought on the next drive that Victor Cruz would be taking a pass 74 yards downfield past the Eagles elite secondary and in for a touchdown? Yes, the way things started out, who would have thought that the Eagles would then quiet the Giants offense for two full quarters and score four times to take a 16-14 lead heading into the final quarter?
It was time for Victor Cruz to come up big again and score the second touchdown of his career (against the Eagles no less) on a 28 yard pass from Eli Manning. Now, who would have thought the Giants would decide to go for 2 points, their being ahead in the game and with lots of time left to play? Not me. After the Eagles first drew a penalty the Giants got the two when Brandon Jacobs took the ball in and the score was 22-16 instead of 21-16. Go figure.
Now backup quarterback Mike Kafka took the field instead of Michael Vick, nursing a broken right hand.
Who would have figured that Michael Vick wouldn't last the game against the Giants coming off his latest beating and concussion last week? OK, just about everybody. Anyway, it was time for Aaron Ross to show off his skills again, and he intercepted Kafka's first pass. That led to another score when Eli Manning tossed one to Ahmad Bradshaw for an 18 yard touchdown. It was now 29-16 and so it really didn't matter if the Giants went for two points or not earlier. After the two minute warning Kenny Phillips decided he had enough of Aaron Ross's antics, so he decided to intercept a pass thrown by Mike Kafka and that was it for this one.
The broadcast schedule has worked out well once again for many Giants fans. They get to see if the division leader Redskins can hold up against the Cowboys tomorrow night on Monday Night Football."

Game Notes:
"Michael Vick decided he could play this week and put himself up against the Giants heavy hitters. It did not turn out well for Vick or his team. After being battered about, he left the game in the third quarter with a broken right hand. Same as last week, once Vick was gone from the scene the team seemed to let down like dogs pining for their master. The Eagles scoring stopped and the defense gave up points. It went from Eagles up 16-14 to the Giants winning the game 29-16.
With all the talk about 'dream team' is this any team at all without Michael Vick? They may find out the hard way since he's in for a bit of recovery. Coming up the Eagles face San Francisco, Buffalo and Washington before the Bye week.
Eli Manning deserves most of the credit for winning this game. He was able to recognize and use any means available to him to keep the ball moving and score points. He ignored the Eagles hype and hit his heavily covered receiver Hakeem Nicks for 3 catches and 25 yards. He turned an inexperienced Victor Cruz into a hero, tossing 3 passes that went for 110 yards and for 2 touchdowns. Manning included Jake Ballard and Brandon Stokley and even his running backs became touchdown threats as Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw each caught one.
The defense had it's hands full with Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. He proved hard to take down and at the half he had 15 carries for 88 yards and 1 touchdown, and had pulled in 2 passes for 8 yards. They slowed McCoy up in the second half, but he turned in a nice performance, moving the chains and he finished the game rushing for 128 yards and a 5.3 yard per carry average. McCoy's touchdown was the only one scored against the Giants defense, which kept Michael Vick and Mike Kafka to just less than 200 yards in the air for no touchdowns and 3 interceptions."
