HOUSTON — They came, they saw, they conquered.
Or something like that.
Hanging on for dear life is not an ideal way to save a season, but the Giants will take anything they can get. They put fears of their demise on ice for at least a week, building a 20-3 lead, then watched as most of it slipped away. When they needed to get more points and settle things down Sunday afternoon inside NRG Stadium, they received some vintage play from Eli Manning, exhaled and secured a 27-22 victory to finally get win No.
