EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — For all the Giants offense accomplished in their 31-24 win over the Dolphins, Tom Coughlin was grateful Tuesday for two plays that involved neither a pass nor run.
They were the ones where quarterback Eli Manning took a knee to run off the final seconds — the so-called victory formation.
The Giants finally finished a game the way their coach had always envisioned, but rarely realized, during a frustrating 6-7 season.
The victory allowed the Giants to remain in a three-way tie atop the weak NFC East with the Redskins and Eagles.
