NEW YORK GIANTS

NFL news, stats, scores and more

• Giants get good news on Jacobs
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The decision about Brandon Jacobs' availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals is either his or the team's. It depends on whom you talk to.

• Get ready for Air Eli
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Almost all season long, defensive schemes have been telling the Giants, "We're not going to let Plaxico Burress beat us." At some point, with the running game averaging 200 yards or more every other week, that's bound to change.

• Giants run down Ravens
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- To understand how the Giants have gotten so good and keep getting better, one only needed to listen to a few offensive players after yesterday's 30-10 victory over the Ravens.

• Jacobs earns right to talk
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- He was still running when the Giants' latest conquest had ended, only this time, Brandon Jacobs was running his mouth. And nobody could stop him from doing that, either.

• Ross makes his pick count
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- In Philadelphia last Sunday, cornerback Aaron Ross was in prime position to make his first interception of the season. He was underneath Philadelphia receiver Kevin Curtis, the ball hit his hands -- and he dropped it.

• Tynes just happy to get another FG
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There was never a doubt Lawrence Tynes had made the 19-yard field goal to provide the final margin of yesterday's 30-10 victory over the Ravens. But to see his reaction, one would think he had just kicked a 47-yarder in subzero conditions after missing two kicks to win the NFC Championship.

• Giants taking hits to secondary
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Giants made it through the playoffs last season with a secondary worn thin from injuries, so having a handful of banged-up defensive backs in Week 11 doesn't faze them too much.

• McKenzie arrested on DWI charge
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Giants starting right tackle Kareem McKenzie was arrested Thursday night in Little Falls Township, N.J. for driving while intoxicated, according to Little Falls Police spokesman Lt. Salvatore Calafiore.

• Giants set their sights on rattling Flacco
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Four years ago, the Ravens rushed Eli Manning, battered him and held him to a 0.0 passer rating. When the then-rookie quarterback was taken out of the game in the fourth quarter, it was the first and only time in his career he was pulled for performance reasons.

• Running attack faces stiff test
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Every Saturday or Sunday during the season, Derrick Ward finds a nugget to feed to the Giants offensive linemen.
