Battered Giants Beat Ravens 13-12

Posted Aug 20, 07 12:13 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Giants paid a heavy price for their 13-12 preseason victory over the Ravens yesterday as injuries sidelined four key players. The defense lost safety Will Demps to a dislocated elbow and cornerback Sam Madison to a pulled hamstring. Wideout Steve Smith left with a concussion and Michael Jennings was felled by a ruptured Achilles' tendon.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning was unscathed though unremarkable, completing 10 passes and the game's only touchdown. Heavy penalties stymied both offenses, and the game became a kickers' duel. Though Baltimore was 4-for-4, New York's Josh Hudson hammered two clutch field goals to seal the win.

    1958 Classic Still Rings True Pigskin was served up differently 50 years ago, and Atlantic scribe Marc Bowden learned just how differently by watching the 1958 New York Giants-Baltimore Colts classic with current Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid. “You can’t even do that today," Reid said of the Colts' first play. “You have to have some guys on the line of scrimmage.” The game was also quicker—with no pauses for commercial breaks—and plays were simpler.

The jump is primarily attributed to new stadiums and increased sponsorship deals. The Dallas Cowboys remain at the top of the list, with a value of $1.61 billion.
