Giants Playing Better, Trailing at Half
A strong sense here in the stadium that the New York Giants outplayed the New England Patriots in the first half, but the Patriots are ahead, 7-3.
That's what good teams do.
The Giants are all over Tom Brady, in ways not seen this season, certainly.
They have knocked him down six times, and three of those hits went for sacks. He is a modest (for him) 8-for-14 passing for 61 yards, and he lost a fumble when stripped by Giants defensive end Justin Tuck.
The question the second half will answer is this:
Are the Giants showing they have what it takes to win this, and need only a bit of production from their offense?
Or have the Giants missed a chance to take and build a lead? They were inside the New England 30 three times but got only the one field goal on the opening drive.
I suspect the Giants have taken their shot, and not taken advantage.
