January 2008
- Brotherly Love Someday in the Super Bowl?
  
  New York Times | Jan 26, 08 12:01 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The NFL marketing department would love this scenario—Manning vs. Manning for the league title. Peyton won't rule it out as he praised the work ethic and noted the bright future of his younger brother, writes the New York Times . "I feel very strongly this will not be the last Super Bowl that he will play in," he said of Eli. More »
- Double Save for Giants Kicker
  
  CBS | Jan 21, 08 2:43 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The minus-20 wind chill wasn't the only thing freezing Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes on the sidelines after he missed two critical field goals last night in Green Bay. His coach snarled, his teammates kept silent, managers didn't even bother to drape a jacket over his shoulders, writes Greg Doyel of CBS Sports. But Tynes calmly studied his failures and saved the game—and his job—with a 47-yarder. More »
- Peyton Who?
  
  New York Times | Jan 21, 08 9:41 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - No one expected this: the fifth-seeded Giants bound for Super Bowl XLII behind much-maligned quarterback Eli Manning, the last obstacle between the Patriots and immortality. Certainly no one expected Manning to go pick-less in three playoff road games, or to outsling Brett Favre 254 yards to 236. But here they are, and there’s no doubting them anymore, Harvey Araton writes in the New York Times . More »
- Giants Stun Packers in OT
  
  New York Times | Jan 20, 08 9:03 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The New York Giants tonight became just the second NFC wild-card team to make the Super Bowl, stunning the favored Packers, 23-20, in the arctic cold at Lambeau Field. Kicker Lawrence Tynes atoned for two missed field goals—including one at the end of regulation—with his 47-yard game-winner. More »
- Jerry-Rigged DVDs Bail Out Giants QB
  
  New York Post | Jan 18, 08 5:50 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - After a Green Bay TV station yanked "Seinfeld" off its weekend slate in hopes of sabotaging pre-game viewing for Eli Manning, the show's star has sent the New York Giants quarterback a boxed-set of DVDs from the hit show, the New York Post reports. Manning, an admitted fan, will be in town to face the Packers in Sunday's NFC championship game. More »
- If Pats Win, So Do Networks, NFL
  
  MarketWatch | Jan 18, 08 12:59 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Sorry, San Diego, but the NFL is rooting for the Patriots. New England and its pursuit of perfection have racked up historic ratings all season: the Patriots' final regular-season game was the most watched TV program of the season, and the highest-rated NFL game since 1995. If they beat the Chargers, Fox might wind up with the most watched Super Bowl of all time, MarketWatch reports. More »
- Cowboys Fall in Giant Upset
  
  Associated Press | Jan 13, 08 8:16 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Fire up the golf cart: the Cowboys are headed to the offseason after a 21-17 home loss to the upstart New York Giants. Eli Manning was mistake-free, completing 67% of his passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns to veteran Amani Toomer. Running back Brandon Jacobs had the other score for New York. Meanwhile, Cowboys QB Tony Romo struggled late. More »
- Giants Headed to Big 'D' After Win in Tampa
  
  New York Times | Jan 6, 08 6:08 PM CST

- Pats/Giants Net Most Viewers Since '95
  
  Hollywood Reporter | Dec 31, 07 4:04 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - The Patriots' final step to an undefeated regular season—Saturday's victory over the Giants—attracted an estimated 34.5 million viewers, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The tally is the largest the NFL has managed since the 1995 Chiefs-Cowboys Thanksgiving game. The millions were divided among CBS and NBC, who were granted last minute rights to air the game, and the NFL Network. More »
- Patriots Achieve Perfection
  
  New York Times | Dec 29, 07 11:51 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The Giants didn't get the memo that their matchup with unbeaten New England was meaningless, as they put up a commendable fight in a 38-35 loss, reports The New York Times . The Patriots became the first team to finish the regular season undefeated since 1972, and also set several records in the process, including most points scored in one season. More »
- Giants Have Eyes on Prize in Pats Game
  
  New York Post | Dec 27, 07 2:25 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Though a fixed playoff picture seemingly gives the Giants nothing to play for in Saturday's game against the unbeaten Patriots, New York wouldn't mind playing the spoiler. “No one in here is screaming ‘Let's rest!' I can tell you that," running back Brandon Jacobs tells the New York Post. More »
- Patriots Game on National TV
  
  Boston Herald | Dec 26, 07 5:56 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The Patriots' pursuit of perfection will be on national TV after all. The NFL relented to widespread complaints today and announced that Saturday night's game will be broadcast on CBS and NBC along with the NFL Network, the Boston Herald reports. Original plans to air the game only on the latter network rankled fans who didn't want to miss a chance to see the Patriots beat the Giants to finish 16-0. More »
- Giants Fans Intercept the Green for Pats Historic Day
  
  Star-Ledger | Dec 26, 07 3:38 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - Thousands of New York ticket holders are banking on the Giants losing next Saturday to the undefeated Patriots—or at least that's what they're telling New England fans who are snapping up unwanted tickets online for big bucks. With New York's playoff berth already secure and many starters likely to be benched, there's not much to draw home fans to Giants Stadium. More »
- Giants in Playoffs After Win in Buffalo
  
  New York Times | Dec 23, 07 7:02 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The New York Giants overcame numerous obstacles against the Bills today: the weather, five fumbles by their starting quarterback, and the emotional return to Buffalo of injured tight end Kevin Everett. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw each topped 140 yards rushing, and the Giants bounced back from an early 14-point deficit to win 38-21 at Buffalo, reports the Times . More »
- Giants Lose Game, Shockey, Playoff Hopes?
  
  New York Times | Dec 17, 07 3:41 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - In a gusty, freezing, mostly empty Giants Stadium last night, Eli Manning threw 34 incomplete passes and the Washington Redskins held on to win, 22-10. A win could have locked up a postseason slot for the Giants, but the loss brings more questions than it answers, writes the New York Times. More »
- Giants Win Defensive Battle With Eagles
  
  New York Times | Dec 9, 07 5:57 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - The New York Giants had a less-than-stellar day on offense, but it was just enough in a 16-13 win as Philadelphia's long field goal attempt hit the upright with no time left. The ho-hum game featured 12 punts and only one pass play longer than 20 yards as the visiting Giants all but secured a wild-card berth. In other action: More »
- Eli Rallies Giants Over Bears
  
  New York Times | Dec 2, 07 8:43 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Eli Manning pulled his team out of a hole he helped dig, leading the Giants on two long fourth-quarter drives to dig out of a 9-point deficit, then watching his defense close out a 21-16 victory over Chicago. Manning had three turnovers despite a more conservative offense that saw more rushing attempts and short passes, reports the Times . Derrick Ward had 154 yards rushing for Big Blue. More »
November 2007
- With Peyton Watching, Eli, Giants Bomb
  
  New York Times | Nov 25, 07 6:59 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - It was deja vu for Eli Manning today, who provided Minnesota all the offense it needed, throwing four interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns. The four picks in the 41-17 Giants loss tied his career high, set against these same Vikings just two seasons ago. Meanwhile, opposing quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was good enough while throwing only 12 passes. More »
- TO Plus Romo Deliver 'Skins 28-23 Loss
  
  Washington Post | Nov 19, 07 5:51 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - The Redskins were pushing for a comeback when Jason Campbell made his first big slip up of the game, getting picked off and letting the Cowboys stall the game at 28-23. Terrell Owens accounted for all of Dallas' touchdowns on four Tony Romo passes as the Cowboys improve to 9-1, reports the Washington Post. In other NFC action: More »
- Giants TOed by Dallas, Again
  
  New York Times | Nov 11, 07 7:41 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Dallas took convincing control over the NFC East by thumping New York, their closest division rivals. The Giants had a six-game winning streak, but they could not overcome another stellar game from Tony Romo—four touchdowns, including two long lobs to Terrell Owens—plus costly penalties that eliminated a touchdown run and a long kickoff return.
