EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — And just like that, the champs got off the mat.
Trailing 27-16 at the start of the fourth quarter – and having lost their home opener against Dallas last week – the New York Giants showed the resolve and fight that won them Super Bowl XLVI in February.
Eli Manning led his team to 25 fourth-quarter points as the Giants rallied for a 41-34 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.
Chuck Cooperstein and Tony Boselli called the action on Westwood One Sports.
