The Giants kept plugging along in this game before winning on the last play of it thanks to a fumble return for a TD by DE Tommie Hill.  Eli Manning made a very brief appearance in this game completing 2 of 3 passes for 31 yards.  David Carr was up next and he was solid completing 6 of 10 passes for 74 yards with a TD.  Andre Woodson had a rough time in this game completing 5 of 11 passes for 45 yards with 1 interception.  Rookie Rhett Bomar completed both of his pass attempts for 21 yards in his NFL debut.  Allen Patrick led the way for the Giants in the running game with 36 yards rushing on 8 carries (4.5 ypc).  Ahmad Bradshaw was his usual stellar self carrying the ball 5 times for 35 yards (7.0 ypc) with a TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 17 yards.  Brandon Jacobs was also outstanding carrying the ball 4 times for 31 yards (7.8 ypc) and catching a pass for 13 yards.  Danny Ware only rushed for 21 yards on 12 carries (1.8 ypc) but he also caught 2 passes for 43 yards (21.5 avg) with a TD grab.  The Giants finished up with only 279 yards of offense in this game (139 rushing, 140 passing) but it was enough to win the game and that’s what you play for.

CB Travonti Johnson led the way for the Giants’ defense in this game with 7 tackles.  But, DE Tommie Hill was the hero in this game despite only making 1 tackle and he returned a fumble 18 yards for a TD on the last play of the game.  The Panthers finished up with only 276 yards of total offense (124 rushing, 152 passing) so the Giants’ D looked pretty decent.
