The Green Bay Packers' poor pass rush has been their early undoing. The New York Giants now lead by a score of 10-3, thanks to a big touchdown catch and run by Hakeem Nicks. Just one play after the Packers gave Eli Manning all day to find Nicks on third down and 11, they gave him all day to find the same man wide open for another big play. The throw was what made the first 15 or so yards of the play, but the run made the rest.

Charlie Peprah had a chance to make the tackle, but decided to go for the kill shot instead of wrapping up. Nicks bounced right off him, then took off running, burning the Packers defense for the 66-yard score.
