The field was ugly before the game started, and the game is going worse for the New York Giants.
They started out moving the ball fairly well with an improvised offensive line. That is, until, Shane Vereen failed to look a 3rd down pass into his hands, where it bounced out of his hands and into a defender's. The defense promptly responded by blocking a field goal. The second possession ended the same way when Dwayne Harris hauled in a tipped pass, only to have it knocked out as he was going down.
