Another fun fact: Cowboys are 2-7 against Giants since January, ‘08.
"He's gotten to me a number of times," Manning said. "He's probably played against me more than any other quarterback, too, so that leads to that. But he is a driven player. You've got to have answers for him. He's a guy who can take over a game, and he can change a game by his performances."
And there you have it. If you read betwixt the lines you will note Eli fears Ware and knows Dallas has amends to make after the anomaly of last season's performance against the upstart Giants. Said a confident, growling Ware on the rematch:
"Ready is not the right word. That word is small compared to how much our team is looking forward to getting this thing. When you think about how last season ended, you want to come out and make a statement. This is a great stage to do it."
I think we can toss the record book out the window. It's a new season and there are old scores to be settled...
