Game Notes:
"It was gigantic. It was big, and more amazing than I had imagined. I was totally overwhelmed. No, not the new stadium built to honor Jerry Jones or the Cowboys or whatever. I'm talking about the Giants win over the Cowboys tonight in the super grand opening of their new stadium. A victory that puts the Giants atop the NFC East. Right now, the Cowboys, Redskins and floundering Eagles are looking at the Giants and saying, 'Oh no. not them again'.
They do have reason to worry, because how do you go about attacking this Giants team? Stop the running game, and give in to the young talented group of wide receivers, or cover them, and let Brandon Jacobs and company run all over you? They've made their choices these past two games, and we'll see next week how Tampa Bay decides to play it.
Now here's some of my unofficial stats for the new stadium:
1st points scored - Giants.
1st field goal scored - Giants.
1st interception - Giants.
1st interception returned for a touchdown - Giants.
1st team to have a lead at the end of the first quarter - Giants.
1st team to have a lead at the end of the second quarter - Giants.

1st touchdown scored - Cowboys but
1st team to go 3-out - Cowboys.
1st team to have turned the ball over on successive plays - Cowboys.
1st person caught on screen picking their nose - Cowboy owner Jerry Jones.
Most important - 1st win at the new stadium - Giants."

Game Notes:
"So far this season two division opponents have proven that they can stop the run and then go on to lose the game. By the way, that prompts me to say that the Giants now happen to lead the division teams with their 2-0 record. Last season Plaxico Burress was drawing double coverage. Coming up against the Cowboys back then, Burress had just six catches for just 39 yards (and one touchdown) in the two games prior and Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips promised to double-team Burress virtually every play.
Plaxico said, "If that's what defenses want to do, that's going to be their approach I'm going to line up and see what we get. We'll work around it. I honestly believe you don't have to go out week in and week out and put up gaudy numbers and dominate a football game." Plaxico was a team player and Brandon Jacobs is in the same spot this year.
Teams know that the Giants game plan on offense is centered around a relentless running attack that piled up league-best averages of 157.4 yards per week and five yards per attempt last season. Like Plaxico, Jacobs knows that wins count the most over individual performances as they go all out to stop him and assume they can also stop Eli Manning and his unproven group of young receivers. So how's that working out?"

For the first time in Giants history there were 10 catches by two receivers - Mario Manningham and Steve Smith.

Eli Manning's second-quarter touchdown pass to Mario Manningham was the 100th of his career.

There were seven lead changes in this game in which neither team led by more than 6 points.

This game drew 105,121 fans for a new NFL record.
