And that's the game.

The defense on both sides started out strong. No score in the 1st quarter.

Then the Chiefs drove down the field in the 2nd quarter, coming to the Giants' goal line.

3 plays, and the Giants' defense stuffed them. Field goal.

After that, the Giants scored 10 straight points. They never trailed again.

MVP of the game is, without a doubt, Tiki Barber. Best game by him this year; 2 TDs and 220 yards (most by a back in any game this year) on 29 rushes for an average of 7.6 yards per carry. His best run was his first TD run, where he broke six tackles to make it into the endzone. A thing of beauty.

Eli Manning's accuracy was around 50%, and he had one TD and one INT. He didn't break down in the end though, which is good. The recieving corps of Burress, Shockey, Toomer, and Carter came through when needed. The offensive line played excellently, considering the changes made for the unit.

Penalties were important. KC had too many (some were questionable though), while the Giants managed to downsize on their offensive penalties.

The Giants' defense played well throughout. The play of the backup players was good, considering the offense they faced. Although the Chiefs' Larry Johnson rushed for 167 yards and 2 TDs, the defense made up with 2 takeaways late in the game. Kendrick Allen was the only one who got a sack today (although against the Chiefs' tremendous O-line, it's understandable).

Jay Feely connected on both of his field goals. Although the Seattle debacle was big, he still deserves credit for having the most points among NFL kickers (only Shaun Alexander has more points than Feely overall with 138).

All in all, a satisfying game. Considering the banged-up nature of the defense and the offensive-line, the Giants played excellently.

Take note Giants fans; tomorrow the Cowboys play at the Redskins. Big game, as we face the Skins in their home stadium next Saturday. Also Chargers and Broncos fans...a thank you will suffice. :-P

Final result...

Giants - 27
Chiefs - 17

Have a good evening.

I sent Paul Schwartz an email and gave him hell....His prediction was Chiefs 27 Giants 17. No respect from a home team playing like a winner? Sheesh. Will think twice about reading his articles. And I bet this is his comment uner the picture of Tiki - RUNAWAY PRIDE: Tiki Barber and the dinged-up Giants badly want to win tonight against the Chiefs at the Meadowlands, in what will likely be Big Blue's final home game of the season.

My bolding.....
