Giants beat Raiders, Win NFC East

January 1, 2006

Final: Giants 30, Raiders 21. Giants win NFC East Division Title!

The Giants have won the NFC East for the first time since the 00-01 season, and host the Carolina Panthers at Giants Stadium next week in one of the two NFC Wild Card games. The other game will be hosted by the Buccaneers, who won the NFC South today. There were injuries during the game, but they were minor. Strahan got poked in the eye, and will need stitches but he should be fine for the playoffs. Tiki Barber was down after a play, but he should be fine also, and Eli Manning was limping off of the field but he came back and played. Nick Greisen got hurt but I don’t think it is too serious. The Raiders played good, and Randy Moss had a couple touchdown passes from former Giant Kerry Collins, but in the end, the Raiders couldn’t capitalize on a pass interference call which put the ball at the one and it was 1st and goal. The Giants stopped them on 1st down…2nd down…3rd down… AND EVEN 4th down. Soon after, Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan poured the gatorade jug all over Tom Coughlin as the Giants secured the NFC East.
