You can't take away from the Giants for playing a great game though. Other than Eli's intercepted pass in the end zone, they played really well. New England's defense is bad, but since Brady is usually able to "make it rain" and put up ridiculous points, it isn't as much of an issue as it would be for other teams. The Giants won because they were able to rush Brady, and hit Welker quick and hard after his receptions. It was a defensive first half of the game, and the Giants shut them out in the first half for the first time in a really long time. In the second half, the Giants were able to eat up enough of the clock while going point for point with the Pats, and eventually have the last say.
