The Giants have made the playoffs because of their running game and solid defense.  Eli Manning had another wildly inconsistent season in which he posted another poor QB Rating (73.9).  Manning has played in 16 games this season and he completed 297 of 529 passes (56.1%) for 3,336 yards with 23 TD passes and 20 interceptions.  He also carried the ball 29 times for 69 yards (2.4 ypc) with 1 TD run this year.  Manning has now played in 57 games in his NFL career and he has completed 987 of 1,805 passes (54.7%) for 11,385 yards with 77 TD passes and 64 interceptions (73.4 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 89 times for 205 yards (2.3 ypc) with 2 TD runs in his career.

Jared Lorenzen wasn’t needed much as the Giants backup this season.  He played in 2 games for the Giants this year and he completed 4 of 8 passes (50%) for 28 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs (58.3 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 1 time for 2 yards.  Before this season Lorenzen had never thrown a pass in the NFL and he only had 1 carry for 2 yards.

Anthony Wright also got a cup of coffee with the Giants this season and it didn’t go well.  Wright played in 4 games last season for the Giants and he completed 1 of 7 passes (14.3%) for 12 yards (39.6 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 1 time for -1 yard.  Wright has now played in 33 games in his NFL career and he has completed 332 of 605 passes (54.9%) for 3,590 yards with 20 TD passes and 25 interceptions (66.3 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 80 times for 221 yards (2.8 ypc).
