Halftime, Giants 13-0

Nice 10-yard scramble by Eli Manning. Plaxico Burress was running open right in his view, but Manning smartly kept the ball to himself on a rainy day and ran in his second career rushing touchdown for a 10-0 lead.
Giants really should be running away with this thing, but a couple of deep shots to Burress didn’t pan out. On days like this, you’re better off just running the ball and taking the short, safe routes.
Super play by Jesse Chatman on knocking a screen back to himself and going for a 9-yard gain for a Miami first down. Then Cleo Lemon handed the Giants the ball when he went back to pass and had the ball come out, untouched, as he went to pass. Strahan recovered with 26 seconds left, and Lawrence Tynes hit a 41-yard field goal for a 13-0 lead.
You get the idea the Dolphins are out of this game, but it’s really wet and the ball is slippery. A tripup here or there, and the Giants could be in trouble. We’ll see.
Can’t say enough about the Brits, though. They’re enthusiastic and sound pretty football educated. No inappropriate cheering as yet, and they applauded appreciatevely as the half came to an end.
Ciao for now.
