2012 NFL Playoffs: Eli Manning Asserts Himself, Proves His Worth Again
On paper, it looked like a mismatch. On one side of the field was Eli Manning, a Super Bowl winner who’s continued to face questions about his ability to be the superstar. On the other was Aaron Rodgers, the man who led his team to a Super Bowl title last season, then broke the NFL record for yardage in a single season this year. Green Bay boasted a high-powered offense while New York quietly went about its work.

Manning completed 64% of his passes for 330 yards and 3 TD’s compared to Rodgers’ completion percentage of 57% for 264 yards and 2 TD’s.
And after allowing a four-play touchdown drive at the end of the first half, the Packers never trailed by fewer than seven points the rest of the game.

Rodgers threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for another 66 yards to lead the Packers, but missed on 20 throws; that’s the second-most incompletions in a single game in his NFL career. No Green Bay receiver had more yards than Donald Driver’s 45, and Packers dropped pass after pass, compounding Rodgers’ lack of game-changing plays.

Read Article >Giants Vs. Packers Halftime Score: New York Leads 20-10 After Incredible Hakeem Nicks Hail Mary Catch
VIDEO: Hakeem Nicks Hauls In Hail Mary To End The Half
I’d say someone should put a body on Hakeem Nicks, but I just don’t think it matters at this point. Throughout the first half, the Green Bay Packers certainly tried to slow down Nicks, failing every time. He bounced off a defender and raced into the end zone for an early score, then ripped the ball away from a cornerback later to set the Giants up with first and goal.
But his best act came just before the half. Caught in an in-between situation -- just out of field goal range, not quite enough time to pickup a small chunk -- Eli Manning went deep on a Hail Mary. And guess who was there to grab it.
