Giants Get Road Win Against Texans, 34-18[/size]
Houston, TX (AP) - The Giants (2-2) got back on track against the Texans (3-1-1) following a week 5 bye. The defense wanted to contain the run and limit the opportunities of Matt Shaub and his speedy receiving choir. Meanwhile, the offense wanted to control the clock with the ground game and limit turnovers. The Texans accumulated only 16 yards on the ground and were limited to 15 points allowed through the air. Most importantly, the Giants defense came away with three interceptions which proved to be the difference as they scored 14 points off turnovers. Eli Manning showed poise throughout and managed a perfect game in the air completing all 13 pass attempts; two for TD's. Next to turnovers (+3), the other key ingredient was TOP as the Giants had the ball an entire quarter longer than the Texans (25:14 vs 14:46). Overall, the Giants were happy with their performance.
