Congrats to the Giants who won their eighth consecutive road game this weekend and extended their season with a 24-14 victory over Tampa Bay. So now the Giants advance to a Divisional Playoff Game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Here come the ESPN highlights…
The Giants are now 17-23 in postseason play, including 4-14 on the road.
The Giants are 5-4 in Wild Card games.
The Giants did not score a first-quarter point for the fifth time in their last six games.
The Giants owned the ball for 33:31, more than two minutes more than their regular season average of 31:22, which was fifth in the NFL.
Brandon Jacobs scored the Giants’ first two touchdowns on five-yard pass from Eli Manning and an eight-yard run. He is the first Giant in history to score a rushing and a receiving touchdown in the same postseason game.
The Giants rushed for exactly 100 yards as Ahmad Bradshaw (66 yards on 17 carries) and Jacobs (34 on 13) split the duty.
Amani Toomer led the Giants with seven receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown.
Toomer scored the Giants’ final touchdown on a four-yard pass from Manning. It was Toomer’s fifth postseason touchdown reception, extending his team record. No one else in franchise history has more than three touchdown catches in the playoffs.
Michael Strahan led the Giants with nine tackles (eight solo).
Eli Manning won his first postseason game as the Giants’ starting quarterback.
OK boys...Don’t screw it up in Dallas
