Favre on first down - not the best decision - to Greg Jennings covered perfectly by R.W. McQuarters.

8:37 p.m.  4th Quarter  6:48

8:32 p.m.  4th Quarter  8:52
With another chance on 3rd and very long, Manning with a shovel pass to Ahmad Bradshaw to the Giants' 33 yard line.  He's short, and it's a 51 yard field goal attempt in -4 degrees if they don't go for it.

8:31 p.m.  4th Quarter  8:59
