Giants Cruise To Victory

GIANTS 30
RAVENS 10

Let's face it, the Giants are the equivalent of a red hot team in Division I college football. Think Florida or USC teams that find ways to make football boring by outscoring their opponents 50-10 in the first half alone!

The Giants cruised against the perceived stingy Ravens, blowing out Baltimore 30-10 Sunday afternoon. The Giants defense harrassed quarterback Joe Flacco all day long, sacking him once and forcing two interceptions. One of the picks decided the game, when Flacco's pass bounced off the hands of receiver Derrick Mason into the hands of cornerback Aaron Ross, who went coast to coast for the touchdown.
The Giants defense even kept the Ravens run offense in check all day. Willis McGahee couldn't find any holes as he struggled to 18 yards rushing on nine carries. Ray Rice, of Rutgers, only had 19 yards on nine carries.


As for the Giants, they ripped apart the Ravens run defense. The three-headed monster of Brandon Jacobs, Amhad Bradshaw and Derrick Ward combined for 211 yards on the ground. Bradshaw had the biggest day of the three running for 96 yards on nine carries. As for Jacobs, he had two rushing touchdowns to open the game.

This game was never in question for Big Blue; they dominated from start to finsh,earning their ninth victory of the year. The Giants are 9-1 and well in command of the NFC Eastern division.
