Now... the aftermath.
Tampa/Dallas. Dallas' defense really stepped up. They tormented and harassed Garcia and his offense all game long. Tampa had plenty of scoring chances, including the final drive, but Dallas brought heat. It looked like Garcia had Graham on the release but he was covered over the top and Garcia went to the right man but a little off target with a man in his face. Impressive win by the Cowboys, but their offense still RANKS, and Brad Johnson still sucks.
NE/St.Louis. Closer than anticipated. Rams gave them a game. A good one too. The Rams are no longer an easy W in the win Column. Tied up 16 all at one point in the game but NE pulls it out in true Patriot fashion and moves to a quiet 5-2.
Giants/Stillers. Great Game. I disagree with '78. Even though it was a great one, it doesn't beat out the fact that the game was lost the way it was lost, but when it comes down to it, the Giants handed us our 2nd loss, coming up big when it counted. The Story of this game- 0 Turnovers, 0 sacks. Kudos to the Giants for playing mistake free football. 100% of the time it's the team who makes the least mistakes who win the game, and this was the case in this one. Stillers' defense maned up and really played well enough to win the game. Came up with some nice stands and tightend up when needed..except on 4th and 6. Play of the game. Perfectly thrown ball over the top of corner who was previously injured and taking advantage of a backup safety. I've never seen a long snapper and punter get injured, IN THE SAME GAME. I said in order for the Stillers to win, Ben needed to have an above average game. Lets just say he failed miserably but managing 3rd and longs due to penalty's doesn't help an offense, esp. one that has trouble protecting its Quarterback. Good win for the Giants. They won it late. That's what good teams do.
Indy beats the unbeaten tonight. (Don't make me look bad, Peyton
