New York Giants QB Eli Manning has apparently decided to stage a Brett Favre tribute tonight to honor the ‘Slinger’s 297-start streak. After throwing two Favrely interceptions, he fired a touchdown through tight coverage to TE Kevin Boss for a six-yard touchdown with seconds left in the first half:

The catch was challenged by the booth, as Boss bobbled the ball between his legs as he went down, but was upheld. The Giants completed the nine-play, 71-yard drive in just under two minutes.
New York is outgaining the Minnesota Vikings 211 yards to just 94, but don’t pin that entirely on QB Tarvaris Jackson. He’s 10-of-13 for 77 yards, while the Vikes’ running game has produced only 27 yards on 14 attempts. WR Sidney Rice has also dropped two tough but somewhat catchable passes. Jackson has also been sacked twice. Even after that great throw by Manning, Jackson has been the best quarterback at Ford Field so far tonight.
