Denver Broncos 26, New York Giants 6
I was a little of on my prediction of this football game to say the least. The Giants just looked flat and that is entirely possible based on the fact that they just played a hard fought O.T. game against the Falcons just four days earlier. Eli Manning did not look especially good last night completing 24 of 40 passes for 230 yards with a INT. Brandon Jacobs also had issues as the Broncos were ganging up on him holding him to 27 yards rushing on 11 carries (2.5 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 30 yards (10.0 avg). Danny Ware pitched in with 27 yards on 4 carries (6.8 ypc) in this game before leaving it with a concussion. Steve Smith was the top WR for the Giants last night with 7 catches for 71 yards (10.1 avg). Hakeem Nicks (4 rec, 66 yards) and Mario Manningham (5 rec, 48 yards) also pitched in for the Giants in the passing game. The Giants finished up with 267 total yards on offense (57 rushing, 210 passing) as they only had possession of the ball for 24:30.
The defense was awful for the Giants last night as the Broncos pretty much did whatever they wanted to on offense. Safeties Aaron Rouse (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and C.C. Brown (8 tackles) led the way for the Giants on D. LB Chase Blackburn also finished up with 8 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss yesterday. The Broncos finished up with 373 total yards on offense (138 rushing, 235 passing) in this game. The Giants are now 6-5 on the season.
