NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Giants confident and winning

While the defense seemed soft against the pass, any game where the other team has to pass every play the Giants will get some turnovers as they did against the Rams. When you win the turnover battle 5-0 you win the game.

Plust the Giants offense was clicking thanks largely to Burress (10 catches, 204 yards, 2 TD) and Manning who was able to build on a solid performance in last week's loss:

"He's confident," said DE Michael Strahan of Manning. "You can see right now, every time he takes a snap and drops back it looks like he knows where to go with the ball and he isn't stuck on one receiver and he isn't giving the defense a chance to read him. He really looked good, especially for a second-year player with all the things the defenses are throwing at him. I think he is doing an incredible job. It's amazing; when he looks confident the whole offense looks more confident. The offensive line looks more confident, the running game is more confident, so I think everybody feeds off of the quarterback and right now everybody is feeding off him."

Tiki also had a good day for the offense but he's not a one man show any longer.

All in all, the offense seems to be in a good place, special teams are doing well (though they gave up a ew nice returns), and defense is scary to watch but got the job done with the 5 turnovers.
