Umenyiora Returns With a Flourish

A quick look back at the Giants’ 31-27 victory over Arizona:

KEY PERFORMANCE

With Justin Tuck’s health an issue, Osi Umenyiora’s return from arthroscopic knee surgery could not have come at a better time. Umenyiora, who had 11.5 sacks in 2010, recorded two (one which forced a fumble) in his 2011 debut. “I love to play,” he said. “This is what I live for and I was happy to go out there and get this win.”

NOTABLE NUMBER
The Giants had 3 rushing yards in the fourth quarter (on 12 attempts), leaving Eli Manning to carry the offensive load through the air. He delivered, completing 14 of 17 fourth-quarter passes for 180 yards, with 2 touchdowns.

TALKING POINT

With the Eagles and Cowboys struggling, can the Giants take advantage of three straight home games to put an early stranglehold on the N.F.C. East?
