Default NY Giants win 38-21 @ buffalo clinch playoffs

Brandon Jacobs scored twice and Ahmad Bradshaw had an 88-yard touchdown run, as the usually pass-happy Giants leaned heavily on their running attack in a 38-21 win. Kawika Mitchell's 20-yard interception return produced the go-ahead points and sparked a three-touchdown fourth-quarter rally.

The Giants (10-5), who reached the playoffs for a third straight season, fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter, as the Bills came out fired up after Everett addressed the team before the game. It was the tight end's first appearance in Buffalo since he sustained a severe spinal cord injury in the Bills' season opener Sept. 9.

Everett, who is now walking on his own, watched the sloppy game from a suite near midfield.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning fumbled five times, losing two of them, and threw two interceptions, in a game played under harsh conditions. Winds gusted over 30 miles an hour, and the players were pelted by a persistent rain that turned into snow in the fourth quarter.

The Bills (7-8), eliminated from playoff contention a week earlier, mustered little response after the strong first quarter. They committed four turnovers, including three Trent Edwards interceptions.

New York won its seventh straight road game, a franchise single-season record, and avoided a potential must-win finale against the New England Patriots next weekend.
