The Eagles were leading the Giants 24-7 at the start of the 4th quarter, and Eli Manning willed his team to victory. Eli Manning completed 31 of 43 passes (72.1%) for 371 yards with 3 TDs and a pick-off. Tiki Barber ran 21 times for 51 yards (2.4 ypc) and caught 7 passes for 57 yards (8.1 avg). Brandon Jacobs ran well again carrying the ball 5 times for 35 yards. WR Amani Toomer had maybe his best game ever for the Giants. Toomer caught 12 passes for 137 yards (11.4 avg) and 2 TDs. Plaxico Burress caught 6 passes for 114 yards (19.0 avg) and a TD.

The Giants defense played horrible for 3 quarters, but very well in the 4th quarter. The Eagles ran for 107 yards, but only 3.6 yards per carry. The Eagles completed 60% of their passes for 344 net yards in the air.

This will go down in Giants history as one of the greatest victories in the history of the Giants.
