Giants D stops Bucs' rushing game: The Giants defense made the proper changes after allowing the Bucs to open their Wild Card game with a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, and the Big Blue defense was a reason why the Giants went on to win 24-14. Tampa Bay picked up a late touchdown as New York was in prevent defense, but the Giants managed to keep Tampa off the board in the second and third quarters. Tampa mustered 271 total yards, including just 69 yards on the ground. The Giants got their lone sack from Michael Strahan, while Corey Webster and R.W. McQuarters picked off Jeff Garcia passes. (Updated 01/06/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The Giants have struggled all season to stop teams in the first quarter, but they usually get stronger as the game goes on. They will have their hands full with Dallas in the divisional playoff round. Consider the Giants DST a low-end Fantasy option. The Giants DST will likely be a No. 1 Fantasy option come Draft Day 2008. Strahan is a solid option in Fantasy playoff formats, and if he returns in 2008, he will be a decent No. 2 or No. 3 Fantasy DL. Webster and McQuarters are just low-end Fantasy options in playoff formats. (Updated 01/06/2008).

He's outlasted five coaches, 10 QBs and works with one of the game's most meddlesome owners. Now the Redskins VP, can Vinny Cerrato re-capture his Niners success? Clark Judge says it all starts with something un-Redskins: the draft.
