Q: What do you think the Giants did against Michael Vick that worked in the first game?

Q: Do players gain confidence after being able to win games in the fourth quarter or having fourth quarter success?
A: I have seen Eli do that throughout his career, he has had a couple against us, actually, in years past. I think they are confident and they do a good job with that, obviously. You have to have a certain mindset when you play the Giants that way. You have to respect them and know that they are going to play four quarters of football against you.
