Marshall Eats His Words, and Giants Thank Their Lucky Stars

A capsule look at the Giants’ 20-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday:

Key Performance

Steve Weatherford averaged 46.8 yards on four punts for the Giants and pinned the Dolphins inside their 20-yard line three times. With the Giants leading and just less than four minutes remaining, Weatherford boomed his final punt 55 yards, and the Giants tackled returner Reggie Bush for a 4-yard loss. “That was one of those moments when you may have a lump in your throat, but guys came through,” Coach Tom Coughlin said.

Notable Number: 55

Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall had 55 yards receiving, after guaranteeing a Dolphins victory last week on Twitter.

Marshall was thrown to six times and caught four passes but had a 25-yard reception in the fourth quarter called back for offensive pass interference.

Talking Point

The Giants came out of Sunday’s game with several injury questions. Hakeem Nicks had an aching hamstring, David Baas hurt his knee and Ahmad Bradshaw was limping with a sore foot. All said they would be evaluated Monday, but with the toughest part of the schedule looming, can the Giants withstand another rash of injuries?
