Halftime, 10-0 Giants
-

It’s a good thing the Giants punched it in during the two-minute period. But we’re seeing exactly how Plaxico Burress is no longer a deep threat. When Manning went to him from the Detroit 45, Burress not only mistimed his leap for an incompletion, but looked pained doing it.
Sinorice Moss continues to test the Giants’ patience with him after a fumble following a seven-yard completion. Moss gained a little bit of his confidence back on the touchdown drive, though, grabbing one for 11 yards. Brandon Jacobs caught a 10-yarder that he stretched over the goal line for the touchdown with 23 seconds remaining in the half. In a bit of a surprise, Jacobs is also leading the Giants in receiving with four catches for 49 yards.
And who said they don’t have a pass-catching threat out of the backfield?
Defense is playing well and getting some pressure. Michael Strahan has both sacks on Kitna, with Osi Umenyiora adding more pressure.
Lions have just five first downs compared to the Giants’ 12. But the defense still needs to lock down those long-gainers to keep any comeback attempts at bay.
Ciao for now.
