Giants Vs. Packers: Eli Manning To Hakeem Nicks Cuts Green Bay’s Lead In Half
Manning has now thrown for 83 yards on ten attempts, with 66 of those yards going to Nicks. Green Bay has rushed the ball better and showed more interest in doing so — the Giants running game has a surprising 17 yards after only seven carries.
The Packers responded by driving into the red zone. WR Donald Driver broke free in the end zone a couple plays after making an excellent one-handed, diving catch, but pressure by DE Osi Umenyiora prevented QB Aaron Rodgers from spotting him. On the next play WR Jordy Nelson fumbled while diving for a first down, and New York recovered.
