Game Notes:
"While it was a great distraction to get out and forget, at least for a little while, the hardship caused by Superstorm Sandy, it was still a little disappointing to see the Giants falter and lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers. They could have won this game if the offense had been productive and if the special teams unit hadn't suddenly seemed to disappear.
Somehow the Eli Manning passing 'connection' to anyone wearing a Giants jersey past the line of scrimmage seems to have disappeared. Eli is off his game or his receivers are. What else could explain the poor numbers you've seen in the past few games. This was Eli's worst game of the season, as he completed only 10 passes and threw 1 interception.
The only bright spot was the defense which was put in tough positions throughout the game. Still, even they couldn't stop the Steelers running game, where Isaac Redman ran on them for 147 yards. Next week the Giants have to travel to Cincinnati and it looks like they have to hit the books and figure out what's going wrong."

Game Notes:
"Years from now when they draw quarterback comparisons between Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning, this will be one game Giant fans will not be submitting. Roethlisberger completed 21 of his 30 passes for 216 yards and 2 touchdowns. Both quarterbacks threw 1 interception, but Manning had no touchdowns and only 125 yards on 10 completions. His last game was the worst of this season and this one scored even lower.
Manning has thrown four interceptions and just one touchdown in the past three games. Something is off and the Giants can use a bye week to figure how to fix it. Luckily that's coming up, but not before they face Cincinnati next week. They still lead the division just past the halfway mark with a 6-3 record and are lucky that the competition is also struggling at this point. That could always change and it would be nice to finish out the second half of the season with more wins than losses."

Notes:
Giants 114 net passing yards was their lowest since 94 yards at Buffalo on Dec. 23, 2007.

Giants did not score a second-half touchdown for the second week in a row.
