With a 24-20 come from behind victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, The Giants regain focus and get back on track! A sputtering offense came to life, and a soft defense stiffened, as the Giants (7-4)were able to snap a two-game losing streak. Eli Manning stepped up as the Quarterback, the Captain of this football team and took matters into his own hands throwing for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second a 32-yarder to tight end Kevin Boss with 3 minutes 15 seconds left, to keep the Giants amid a shifty mix of playoff hopefuls. Manning completed 14 of 24 passes for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns. Most important, he and the Giants had no turnovers for the first time this season. As the Giants, one out of seven teams in the N.F.C. with seven or more wins play for those "bragging rights" awarded at the end of the season for the last team standing!“We needed to rise up and have a finish like that,” Coughlin said. “We’re well aware of the circumstance that we’re in, that the division is in, that the conference is in. And we needed to keep pace.” And that is just what the Giants did, a much-needed win secured.
