GIANTS AT PANTHERS<br />
SEPTEMBER 20, 2012<br />
GIANTS 36, PANTHERS 7<br />
It was surely a night to remember for the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 2009 draft class, as the third and fourth<br />
round picks from that draft, Ramses Barden and Andre Brown, had career games. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> as a team got out to a much quicker start than they did in their previous game, as<br />
they led the Panthers 20-0 at halftime. Things didn’t get much better for the Panthers in<br />
the second half, as they eventually fell to the <strong>Giants</strong>, 36-7, at Bank of America Stadium.<br />
Brown carried the ball 20 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns in his first career<br />
start. Barden hauled in nine receptions for 138 yards in his first career start. Eli Manning<br />
completed 28 passes for 288 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Martellus Bennett<br />
caught his third touchdown pass of the season on a 14 yard pass from Manning on the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ opening drive. The catch gave Bennett a touchdown in each of his first three<br />
games as a <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Giant.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ offense came away with points on their first four possessions of the game.<br />
Kicker Lawrence Tynes’ 30 yard field goal with 12:49 in the third quarter gave the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
their biggest lead of the night, as they extended their lead to 23-0, before Cam <strong>New</strong>ton<br />
got the Panthers on the board for their only score of the night on a one yard run with<br />
6:26 left in the third quarter.<br />
Cam <strong>New</strong>ton threw three interceptions, and was sacked twice. Michael Boley’s interception<br />
in the fourth quarter was his third of the season. So far, he has intercepted a<br />
pass in each of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ games in the 2012 season. With a strong, balanced effort<br />
from the offense, defense and special teams, the <strong>Giants</strong> were able to improve to 2-1<br />
on the season.<br />
