That played a key factor in the win. It was the second game this season where the Giants won the time of possession battle and out-gained the opposing team in total yards, but the end result was an point loss. In addition to allowing back-breaking third-down conversions and committing two holding penalties away from the football to prolong drives after third-down stops, what looked like a promising start for Jones soon turned into a disaster.
Jones threw two interceptions in the second half where he simply missed his target. Entering Week 13, Jones had a touchdown to interception ratio -- an excellent ratio for a rookie. He had minimized interceptions -- at least for a rookie -- due to his overall ball placement and accuracy. That was not the case on two of his interceptions -- and the other was a bad decision on a late throw. With the third quarter coming to a close, the Giants held a minute time of possession lead and were trailing the Packers by just four points when they forced Green Bay into a fourth-and situation from New York's yard line.
Rodgers connected with Geronimo Allison on a yard completion. A few plays later, the Giants forced a third-and-goal situation from outside the yard line when Rodgers connected with Adams for another touchdown. The previously referenced fourth-and conversion was also the best play of the game by any individual player. Despite being pressured and hit by Giants linebacker Markus Golden, Rodgers was able to drop a pinpoint pass over the middle to move the chains.
Rodgers completed the throw from an off-balanced base while falling away from the throw. That's the kind of special arm talent he so clearly has. Movin' the chains on fourth down! It was all smiles for Rodgers after the game, and although he likely didn't mean to take a shot at the Giants, his comment shows the state of the Giants franchise. They have morphed into one of the NFL's most uncompetitive franchises. The Giants will travel to play the Eagles in Philadelphia on "Monday Night Football" in a game that really shouldn't be featured in the primetime slot.
On the positive side of things, the Giants moved into sole possession of the No. Green Bay improves to on the season! Daniel Jones just made an insane throw to Kaden Smith down the right sideline. Big gainer after avoiding a strip-sack. Go get it, HighRizer22!
A look at the last Packers TD drive! HighRizer22 grabs the INT! David Mayo just got run over there by Jamal Williams after not getting off a block on a screen. I've seen enough of Mayo to know he's not the answer for the Giants - They desperately need Ryan Connelly to return healthy and then some -- will need to invest a major asset at ILB.
To the Giants' delight, a Green Bay team that had a real shot at an undefeated season less than a month ago is heading home. And that the win came at Lambeau Field, well, that was just as sweet. The site has become a familiar launching pad for the New Yorkers.
After beating the Packers at home for the second time in four years, they only hope this trip ends the same way -- in the NFL title game. The Giants have been on a roll ever since beating the rival Jets on Dec. The Giants are against the 49ers in the playoffs, including their memorable collapse in a wild card game at San Francisco on Jan.
New York led in the third quarter but fell apart and lost That probably won't be much of a worry for this year's Giants, who were oozing confidence even before they beat the Packers. The Giants stunned the Packers with a touchdown off a long heave from Manning to Hakeem Nicks just before halftime, then knocked them out with a late touchdown off a turnover.
Lambeau Field fell silent as the Giants swarmed the field in celebration, with a handful of New York fans chanting, "Let's go, Giants! It wasn't nearly as frigid this time around, and the Packers' vulnerable defense seemed to be waiting to get sliced up.
Manning found six different receivers against a porous Packers defense. But Manning did the most damage with his throws to Nicks, who caught seven passes for yards and two touchdowns. Nicks' biggest play was a yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. His score at the end of the half came on a yard pass into the end zone with defenders all around.
Hope for the Lions to get the upset. Last but certainly not least, right after the Packers and Ravens finish their game, Tampa Bay will be hosting New Orleans on Sunday night. The Packers already have the Saints to thank for one of the Bucs' losses, and they're squarely in the mix for a wild-card berth as well, so they have plenty to play for.
Can the Saints get a season sweep of the Buccaneers, which might set the stage for a third meeting between these two teams in January? It'll be interesting to see. Green Bay will know whether top spot is at stake before Sunday night game with Tennessee kicks off.
