GIANTS AT EAGLES<br />
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012<br />
eagles 19, giants 17<br />
Lawrence Tynes’ 54-yard field-goal attempt in the final seconds fell a few feet shy of the<br />
uprights, as the <strong>Giants</strong> loss to their NFC East foe, the Philadelphia Eagles, 19-17. The loss<br />
dropped the <strong>Giants</strong> to 2-2, with both losses coming to division rivals.<br />
The first half of this game was dominated by the defenses. The lone touchdown of the<br />
half came when Eagles’ wide receiver DeSean Jackson got open in the secondary as<br />
Michael Vick found him in the left corner of end zone, with 1:47 left in the half. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quickly responded with a field goal from Tynes with 0:05 left in the half as the Eagles took<br />
a 7-3 lead into the half.<br />
Both teams’ offenses seemed to come alive in the second half. After Eagles’ kicker Alex<br />
Henery made a 20 yard field goal to extend their lead to 10-3 on the first drive of the<br />
second half, the <strong>Giants</strong> came back on the very next drive tie the game at 10 apiece, when<br />
Eli Manning hit Victor Cruz on a slant route. Cruz then broke a tackle, and waltzed into<br />
the end zone on the 14 yard pass from Manning, for his second score of the season. The<br />
Eagles got another field goal from Henery on their next drive, a 48 yarder, to give the<br />
Eagles the lead again, at 13-10.<br />
The back and forth scoring would continue, as the Eagles were led by Vick and running<br />
back LeSean McCoy. Henery was set up with a 26 yard attempt that narrowly made it<br />
through the right side of the goal post, to give the Eagles the lead again, at 19-17, with<br />
1:49 left in the game.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ final drive had a sloppy start, which included a fumble and a near interception<br />
on the first two plays. However, <strong>Giants</strong>’ wide receiver Ramses Barden, who had a career<br />
game last week against the Panthers, drew two defensive pass interference calls that<br />
gained 29 yards total for the <strong>Giants</strong>. However, on a deep pass intended for him, he was<br />
called for offensive pass interference, moving the ball back to the 37-yard line, setting up<br />
Tynes’ potential game-winning field goal that fell short.<br />
