Said Giants coach Tom Coughlin, “It’s great to win here. It reinforces everything we believe about team, supporting each other and finding a way to win the game.” The Giants held the ball for more than 39 minutes and ran 20 more plays than the Eagles. The Eagles are now tied in the standings with the Cowboys and three games behind the Giants. Said Giants QB Eli Manning of the replay challenge when he was called for an illegal forward pass, “If you have one toe on the line of scrimmage, it’s a legal pass. It was worth the risk.” Giants RB Brandon Jacobs had a big game but also a fumble that could have been costly. Giants WR Domenik Hixon said he “wasn’t too disappointed” when his punt return touchdown was called back on a penalty. Said Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, “This game is all about getting into a rhythm. Unfortunately, the last three games, that hasn’t started at the beginning of the game.” The Eagles scored an early touchdown out of the Wildcat formation. Eagles LG Todd Herremans was held out of the starting lineup for undisclosed disciplinary reasons. Eagles RB Brian Westbrook had 26 yards on 13 carries and was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the end of the game.
