The Giants really kicked butt offensively last night despite only having possession of the ball for 23:12.  Eli Manning started the game and he completed 4 of 8 passes for 77 yards.  He had to leave the game due to a big gash on his forehead which required 12 stitches to close.  Jim Sorgi followed Manning at QB and he was pretty good completing 8 of 15 passes for 146 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  Rhett Bomar finished up the game for the Giants by completing 6 of 7 passes for 67 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 22 yards (11.0 ypc).  Andre Brown led the way on the ground for the Giants in this game with 26 yards rushing on 5 carries (5.2 ypc).  Brandon Jacobs (4 car, 1 yard, TD) and Ahmad Bradshaw (3 car, -1 yard and 2 rec, 58 yards) didn’t look their best last night against the Jets.  Undrafted rookie WR Victor Cruz was the star of the game last night for the Giants as he caught 6 passes for 145 yards (24.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  The Giants finished up with 63 yards rushing (3.0 ypc) and 290 yards passing lasst night.

Despite holding the Jets to 16 points the Giants D did not play very well.   LBs Gerris Wilkinson (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and Bryan Kiehl (7 tackles) led the way for the Giants last night on D.  CB D.J. Johnson pitched in with 5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception.  Safeties Sha’reff Rashad (4 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 INT) and Antrel Rolle (3 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 INT (59-yard return) both had their moments last night for the Giants.  The Jets finished up with 83 yards rushing (3.0 ypc) and 279 passing yards last night.
