EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A look at some New York Giants players who were "up" and a few who were "down" in Sunday's 27-26 loss to the New England Patriots:
UP
QB Eli Manning. He's just playing at a very high level right now. Without a running game, without much protection, Manning is throwing ball with extreme precision and giving the Giants a chance to win any game they play. He was 24-for-44 for 361 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions Sunday. He came agonizingly close to a third touchdown that would have put the game away.
