Eheh, true. I can't believe NFL Network has Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin on the same panel. Man, that's a lot of ego for the average viewer to handle....

Gametime!

Texans win the toss and will receive.

Slaton brings the kickoff back to the Texan 24.

TE screen to OD goes for 19. Ball at the Texan 43.

1st down pass is batted down.

Schaub set to pass has the ball knocked out but Texans recover. Loss of 3, 3rd down, 13.

Dump to Foster loses 4 so Texans have to punt.

Punt is returned to the Giant 29 but flag on the play. Block in the back on Giants = 1/2 the distance to the goal.

Ball ends up at the Giants 9.

Bradshaw TFL for -4. Brings up 2nd and 14.

2nd down pass goes inc. Cushing in hot pursuit of Manning...
