weekly release - New York Giants

game 9
STEELERS VS. GIANTS
NOVEMBER 4, 2012
STEELERS 24, GIANTS 20
The Giants had a four-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Steelers, 24-20,
at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants had hoped to put a triumphant end to a difficult and emotional week as they
sought to honor those suffering in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. They held a “Salute to
Service” game and welcomed 150 servicemen and women and 100 first responders. But
they fell flat in the game. They were outscored 14-0 in the fourth quarter, capped off
by Steelers running back Isaac Redman’s one-yard touchdown run. Eli Manning, who
has orchestrated several fourth quarter rallies over the past two seasons, was unable to
repeat the magic, as New York fell to 6-3 on the season.
The Giants struggled on offense all day. They gained only 182 yards, including 68 on the
ground. Manning completed only 10 of 24 passes for 125 yards. The Giants converted
only two of 10 third down opportunities. However, the team did have a few bright spots
on defense. For the second game in a row, the Giants scored a defensive touchdown
when Michael Boley recovered a fumble forced by Osi Umenyiora and ran it back 70
yards to give the Giants their first lead of the game. Justin Tuck recorded two sacks, Jason
Pierre-Paul also added a sack and Corey Webster intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass.
Boley led the team in tackles with 10 in addition for his return for a TD.
One the offensive end, Andre Brown scored its lone touchdown on a one-yard run.
