For Giants, a Little More Drama to End the Week

A capsule look at the Giants’ 24-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday:

Key Performance

Steve Weatherford was the star of the first half, as the Giants punted on each of their six possessions. Weatherford finished the game with eight punts for an average of 43.1 yards, and pinned the Patriots on or inside their 20 six times.

Notable Number

Mathias Kiwanuka had 12 tackles, leading the Giants’ defense. Kiwanuka, who has been shuttled from linebacker to defensive end and back this season, also recorded his first interception since 2006 when he snatched a Tom Brady pass out of the air after Michael Boley tipped it.

Talking Point

The Giants played a sixth straight game in which the decisive score came with nine minutes or less remaining (they won five of the games). Anxious fans everywhere must be wondering: Can the Giants ever win a game easily?
