4. The Giants' leading rusher in 2007 ran for over 1,000 yards on 202 attempts in just 11 games. He also scored 4 touchdowns. Who was this #27?

Jacobs, drafted in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Southern Illinois, rushed for 1,009 yards in 2007, leading the team. In 2008, he rushed for 1,089 yards and 15 touchdowns in 13 games.

5. Eli Manning's favorite target led the team in receiving, with over 1,000 yards and scoring 12 touchdowns. Who was this #17?

Answer: Plaxico Burress

Burress was drafted 8th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2000 draft. His most productive year with the Steelers was 2002, when he had 1,325 yards. His first year with the Giants was 2005, Manning's first year as the full-time starting QB. Plaxico had 10 TDs that year.

Answer: Buffalo Bills

The Giants beat the Bills 38-21 in snowy Ralph Wilson Stadium. Bradshaw ran for 151 yards in all, and the Giants gained 383 total yards. They also had two interception returns for touchdowns in that fourth quarter against Buffalo's Trent Edwards.

Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Giants lost twice to the Cowboys in the regular season, in Week 1 and Week 10. They also lost to the Packers in Week 2, and to the Patriots in Week 17. Some say that their 38-35 loss to the Pats was the impetus for their playoff run. Their four games were:

24-14 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21-17 @ Dallas Cowboys
23-20 @ Green Bay Packers
17-14 vs. New England Patriots

Answer: 2

Lawrence Tynes missed twice in the fourth quarter, once from 43 yards and once from 36 yards (which would have won the game with no time left). The Packers got the ball to start overtime, but cornerback Corey Webster intercepted Brett Favre during the first series. Tynes' 47-yarder was the first-ever field goal over 40 yards to be made at Lambeau field in the playoffs.

Answer: 3rd Down

Manning's pass to Tyree moved the Giants to the New England 24 yard-line to extend their game-winning drive. The play before, Manning was almost intercepted by Pats cornerback Asante Samuel.

10. Which Giants player caught the game-winning 13-yard touchdown pass from Manning?

Answer: Plaxico Burress

Burress' catch with 35 seconds to go won the game for the Giants, 17-14. It was one of only two catches for Burress in the game. Toomer was the leading Giants receiver with 6 catches for 84 yards. Manning was the game's MVP.
