A capsule look at the Giants’ 27-24 victory over the Bills on Sunday:
KEY PERFORMANCE
Mathias Kiwanuka was originally a defensive end before shifting to linebacker, but Sunday he spent time at his old position, playing on the line as the Giants frequently used their nickel defense. Kiwanuka recorded six tackles, a sack and a forced fumble, showing he has not forgotten any of his old techniques.
NOTABLE NUMBER: 81
Jake Ballard is quickly shedding the label of “blocking tight end.” He recorded 81 receiving yards, and his 24-yard reception in the first quarter brought the ball to the 1-yard line and set up Ahmad Bradshaw’s first touchdown run. Ballard was sure-handed all afternoon, catching all five passes thrown his way.
TALKING POINT
Defensive end Justin Tuck said definitively that he would play in two weeks against Miami. With Osi Umenyiora and Jason Pierre-Paul playing well, how will the Giants manage their top defensive talents once everyone is healthy?
