The team failed to improve on their 8–8 record from the previous season, winning only seven games and missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.[1] This was the last season that the team had the script "GIANTS" on the helmet, being replaced with the NY logo for the 2000 season.

Game information

Down in Tampa for their first game of the 1999 season—the Giants' 75th in franchise history—their offense shriveled up in the stifling Florida heat, earning only four first downs, converting 1-of-13 third downs and gaining just 107 yards, the second-fewest in a game in franchise history, but the defense—featuring five new starters from the previous year—forced five turnovers and scored on two of them, which was enough to earn a 17-13 win over the Buccaneers.

The first takeaway came on Tampa Bay's third play from scrimmage, as quarterback Trent Dilfer was hit from behind by Jessie Armstead and lost the ball, which defensive tackle Christian Peter—starting for the injured Robert Harris—grabbed on a bounce and raced 38 yards for a touchdown.

Each team traded three-and-outs before the Buccaneers used their running back tandem of Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott, plus a 12-yard crossing pass from Dilfer to wide receiver Jacquez Green on 3rd-and-8, to advance into New York's red zone. But on second down, Dilfer was sacked by linebacker Corey Widmer, and they were forced to settle for a 23-yard Martin Gramatica field goal at the start of the second quarter.

The Giants' offense struggled to gain traction against Tampa Bay's vaunted defensive line, as Warren Sapp frequently put pressure on quarterback Kent Graham, and rookie running back Sean Bennett—starting for the injured Gary Brown—failed to find space. It wasn't until almost five minutes remained in the first half when an 11-yard pass to Amani Toomer gave them their initial first down. Fortunately, New York's defense was equal to the task, as the swarming play of Widmer and cornerback Phillippi Sparks kept it a 7-3 game.

However, in the final minute, wide receiver Bert Emanuel beat cornerback Jeremy Lincoln—starting because of injuries to Jason Sehorn and Conrad Hamilton—down the left sideline and caught a Dilfer pass for 39 yards down to the 1-yard line. Dilfer threw a touchdown to tight end Dave Moore on the next play, giving the Buccaneers a 10-7 halftime lead.

Both offenses had their first drives of the third quarter stall near midfield, as Dilfer had a third-down snap from center Tony Mayberry go over his head before he managed to recover and throw away, and Graham had a pass to wide receiver Joe Jurevicius deflected away by cornerback Brian Kelly. After another pair of three-and-outs, Brad Maynard boomed a 52-yard punt that hopped out of bounds inside the 1; three plays later, Dilfer's pass from the end zone was intercepted by rookie cornerback Andre Weathers, who ran it in for another defensive score.

Facing boos from the crowd, Dilfer atoned near the end of the period by hitting Moore for a 26-yard gain, which led to another Gramatica field goal to cut New York's lead to 14-13. But after a Giants punt, Dilfer was pressured and picked off on the ensuing play by safety Percy Ellsworth, setting the Giants up at Tampa Bay's 24; however, New York gained only six yards in three plays, so Brad Daluiso came on and just barely made a 36-yard field goal to extend their lead to 17-13.

Three plays later, Dilfer's day went from bad to worse as he scrambled around the backfield, and then launched a deep ill-advised pass as he was heading out of bounds, where it was intercepted again by Ellsworth. Replays showed that Dilfer actually had stepped out of bounds before throwing the ball, but the Buccaneers didn't challenge the play. However, the Giants failed to capitalize on great field position, as Graham was flagged for an illegal forward pass to fullback Charles Way after crossing the line of scrimmage and then sacked by Sapp on third down to knock them out of field goal range.

Dilfer was benched for Eric Zeier on the next series, but Tampa Bay's offense fared no better, as neither team gained a first down throughout the fourth quarter. After the two-minute warning, Zeier appeared to find wide receiver Karl Williams for a 28-yard gain across midfield; but the play was reviewed in the NFL's new instant replay system, and although it appeared inconclusive, the call was reversed to an incomplete pass. Three plays later, Zeier's 4th-and-2 pass was deflected off Emanuel's hands and intercepted by Sparks, securing an ugly Giants win.

It was their third straight opening day win under head coach Jim Fassel, and the first time in three tries they had beaten Tampa Bay with him.

at Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

The Giants' home opener against a revamped Redskins team coming off an epic collapse against Dallas under new owner Daniel Snyder featured a bizarre reversal from Week 1, as the defense was shredded for 50 points, their most allowed since giving up a league-record 72 in Washington back in 1966, with running back Stephen Davis setting the tone with three first-quarter touchdowns.

The Redskins took the opening kickoff and promptly drove 68 yards in nine plays, with quarterback Brad Johnson hitting wide receiver Michael Westbrook for 19 yards on 2nd-and-17 and tight end Stephen Alexander for 27 yards down to the 1-yard line, where Davis punched it in. Tiki Barber answered with a 41-yard kickoff return; but three plays later, wide receiver Ike Hilliard was flagged for offensive pass interference on a catch, which resulted in a punt.

In three plays, Washington then drove from their own 12 to New York's 9 on a 24-yard run by Davis, a 35-yard pass interference on Jeremy Lincoln, and a 20-yard screen pass to Alexander. Davis fumbled on the next play, but recovered, and scored again two plays later. After a Giants three-and-out, the Redskins took over at their own 46; aided by a roughing the passer penalty on Michael Strahan, they drove to New York's 19. On second down, Davis was stood up just beyond the line of scrimmage, but as the defense relaxed, he slipped out of Corey Widmer's grasp and raced to his left all the way for his third touchdown, making the score 21-0 still in the first quarter.

By now the crowd was booing the home team, but the Giants' offense finally woke up, with Kent Graham finding Hilliard on third down and then for 38 yards on a flea flicker. On 3rd-and-1, running back LeShon Johnson was dropped for a loss by defensive end Kenard Lang; they went for it on fourth down, and Graham found tight end Pete Mitchell for a first down into the red zone. Two plays later, Charles Way rumbled in from the 7, giving the Giants their first offensive touchdown of the season.

The pace finally slowed down, as Washington punted on their next two possessions before New York drove down to the 20 on a 13-yard pass to Joe Jurevicius and a quarterback sneak on 3rd-and-inches. But rookie left guard Luke Petitgout was flagged for a false start on 2nd-and-2, and Graham's ensuing screen pass was read and intercepted—his first in his last 131 attempts—by linebacker Shawn Barber, who took it 70 yards the other way for a touchdown; Brett Conway's extra point was blocked by George Williams, keeping the score 27-7.

With 3:15 remaining in the first half, David Patten returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to Washington's 46; then Graham hit Amani Toomer for a 35-yard gain, and Johnson ran it in on the next play. But after the two-minute warning, Brad Johnson answered by completing passes to Westbrook, Albert Connell and Irving Fryar, often targeting Lincoln in coverage. Then on 3rd-and-2 from New York's 16, Lincoln was flagged again for pass interference in the end zone; Johnson hit Alexander for a touchdown on the next play with six seconds to go. Davis was stopped on the two-point conversion, but the Redskins had a 33-14 halftime lead, with the Giants committing seven penalties and being credited for 12 missed tackles.

Any thoughts of a New York comeback were quickly buried at the start of the third quarter, as the running of Davis led to a 48-yard Conway field goal, and a fumble by LeShon Johnson led to Brad Johnson finding Westbrook, who made Percy Ellsworth miss another tackle before running in for a touchdown to make the score 43-14.

The Giants got a 40-yard run by Sean Bennett and a 38-yard pass to Toomer on the ensuing drive down to the 7-yard line; but the drive stalled, and Graham was sacked on fourth down by Lang to end the threat. In the fourth quarter, Johnson hit fullback Larry Centers for 17 yards on 3rd-and-13, with multiple Giants missing tackles. Three plays later, Johnson hit an open Alexander for a 27-yard touchdown, putting Washington at 50 points for the first time since 1991.

Graham gave the Giants a garbage-time touchdown pass to Hilliard before Jim Fassel benched him for free agent acquisition Kerry Collins, who completed his first three passes before their last drive stalled at Washington's 30, with defensive back Matt Stevens getting a fourth-down interception.

It was the most points the Giants had allowed at home since giving up 52 to the Browns in 1964, on the back of four turnovers and a reported 19 missed tackles, with Davis running roughshod with 126 yards on 23 carries.

at Foxboro Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Game information

The Giants and Patriots clashed in Foxborough on Sunday Night Football, and New England came away with a 16-14 win, thanks to three Adam Vinatieri field goals and New York's inability to convert big play opportunities.

It started well for them, as defensive tackle Keith Hamilton sacked Drew Bledsoe on third down, and Kent Graham completed his first five passes, hitting Ike Hilliard for a 27-yard gain and then LeShon Johnson for a 6-yard touchdown due to blown coverage. However, their next two drives were stopped because of a miscommunication on a pass from Graham to Tiki Barber and a throw to Hilliard just out of his reach. But a stop of a third-down draw for running back Terry Allen by Michael Strahan and Cedric Jones kept the Giants up 7-0 early in the second quarter.

However, the Patriots got untracked with Bledsoe hitting wide receiver Shawn Jefferson for 11 yards on third down, and then finding Terry Glenn deep against Phillippi Sparks for 45 yards down to New York's 2-yard line; Allen scored two plays later to tie the game.

Graham answered by hitting Amani Toomer for 21 yards into Patriots' territory on the Giants' next play from scrimmage; but Johnson was stopped a yard short of the first down on 3rd-and-2, so they lined up to go for it on fourth down. However, right guard Ron Stone lurched forward before the snap, drawing a false start penalty and forcing New York to punt. The play of Percy Ellsworth, Sam Garnes and Jason Sehorn—making his first appearance since missing all of 1998 with torn knee ligaments and the preseason with a strained hamstring—limited Bledsoe's impact, but the Giants' two-minute drill wilted short of midfield, keeping the score 7-7 at halftime.

The Giants went three-and-out on their first possession of the third quarter, with Graham barely overthrowing David Patten on a deep third-down pass, while Bledsoe hit wide receiver Troy Brown for 25 yards on 3rd-and-8 to set up a 38-yard Adam Vinatieri field goal. Barber returned the ensuing kickoff all the way out to midfield, but the next three plays netted only nine yards, so New York's offense again lined up on 4th-and-1; this time they got the snap off, but Graham was stopped short on a quarterback sneak.

The passing of Bledsoe and running of Allen drove the Patriots down towards the Giants' goal line; but on third down from the 1, Bledsoe's play-action pass to tight end Ben Coates was incomplete, so they opted for the chip shot field goal to extend their lead to 13-7.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Giants' next drive appeared to stall at New England's 40 on a third-down sack by safety Larry Whigham after Graham missed on deep throws to Hilliard and Pete Mitchell. But in the ensuing scrum over the ball, linebacker Tedy Bruschi was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after throwing it at Luke Petitgout and hitting him in the helmet, giving New York a first down. It led to Brad Daluiso coming on for a 41-yard field goal attempt; but he hooked it wide left, keeping them down by six with nine minutes left.

The Patriots took time off the clock by running with Allen and Bledsoe completing passes to Jefferson and Glenn, or ramming it through on a sneak on 3rd-and-inches. The drive eventually stalled, so Vinatieri kicked his third field goal of the night, putting New England up 16-7 with 3:12 to go.

With one time-out remaining, the Giants took over at their own 30; Graham picked up two quick first downs on passes to Toomer and Barber. Five plays later, he found Mitchell for 14 yards on 3rd-and-5 down to the 4-yard line, as the clock ticked under two minutes. After a run by Barber down to the 1, New York took their last time-out; passes to Mitchell and Toomer were deflected by Ty Law, which brought up fourth down. They went for it, and Graham's swing pass to Barber went for a touchdown, as he beat Bruschi to the end zone with 1:14 left. However, Daluiso's onside kick was fielded cleanly by Coates, securing a Patriots win.

New England joined the Titans as the NFL's only 3-0 teams thus far, while the Giants again struggled to run the ball without Gary Brown and with Sean Bennett suffering a sprained right knee, falling to 1-2 for the third consecutive season.

Game information

Coming in as 9.5-point favorites against the winless Eagles, the Giants dominated in first downs (24-10) and total yards (361-174), but played a very sloppy game, turning it over five times, each one leading to points; however, their defense again bailed them out of trouble, as they came away with a 16-15 win to bump their record to 2-2.

Just like the previous week, it started promising, as their first drive featured Kent Graham hitting Amani Toomer three times for 38 yards, while Gary Brown—making his season debut after being injured in a motorcycle accident in June and then suffering a sprained MCL in their last preseason game—carried four times on the 11-play series; he fumbled on a run inside the 10-yard line, but the ball skipped out of bounds, and Graham found Ike Hilliard for a touchdown two plays later.

Late in the first quarter, quarterback Doug Pederson completed a pass to tight end Luther Broughton for 32 yards to New York's 25; but on the next play, he was intercepted by Jason Sehorn inside the 5. However, as he was being wrapped up by wide receiver Torrance Small, Sehorn foolishly tried to lateral the ball behind him to Percy Ellsworth, and the ball fell loose, eventually being covered by Phillippi Sparks in the end zone for a safety rather than giving up a touchdown.

Both teams traded three-and-outs before Graham was picked off by cornerback Bobby Taylor, who ran it back 18 yards for a touchdown on the last play of the period, giving Philadelphia a 9-7 lead. Brown rumbled 28 yards on the Giants' next play from scrimmage; but after right tackle Scott Gragg was flagged for tripping, Graham was picked off again on a high pass for Joe Jurevicius by cornerback Troy Vincent.

The Eagles methodically drove into New York territory, mainly by running the ball with Duce Staley, but Pederson's shot downfield was intercepted by Ellsworth. However, the Giants came away empty, as on a 26-yard pass to Jurevicius just outside the red zone, the ball was stripped from behind by defensive end Mike Mamula and recovered by Taylor.

With just over two minutes left in the first half, the Giants got the ball back, and Graham found a rhythm, completing passes to Hilliard, Toomer and Pete Mitchell to move them to Philadelphia's 25. Graham then scrambled for 14 yards, and an illegal contact penalty on defensive back Al Harris put the ball at the 5. But a sack by linebacker Ike Reese—which forced a fumble that Ron Stone recovered—forced New York to kick a 35-yard Brad Daluiso field goal just before halftime.

Early in the third quarter, the Giants got a 25-yard pass to Toomer, a successful quarterback sneak on 4th-and-inches, and another fortunate occurrence when a fumble on a third-down scramble by Graham was recovered by Tiki Barber for a first down. That led to another Daluiso field goal, extending New York's lead to 13-9. But after a Sean Landeta punt was downed at the 2, Graham threw into a crowd and was intercepted by linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, setting the Eagles up at the 13. Thankfully, a sack of rookie Donovan McNabb—in for the struggling Pederson—by Michael Strahan forced them to settle for a short Norm Johnson field goal.

After a New York punt, Staley fumbled on a hit by Sam Garnes, and Keith Hamilton recovered; but the Giants gave it right back when Kerry Collins—in for the struggling and concussed Graham—fumbled on a sack by defensive tackle Bill Johnson, and defensive end Mark Wheeler recovered. Three straight completions to wide receivers Dietrich Jells and Charles Johnson covered 38 yards to put the Eagles in the red zone; but another sack by Strahan forced them to kick another field goal, which nevertheless gave them a 15-13 lead early in the fourth.

Collins answered by hitting Hilliard for 28 yards and Charles Way for 16; five plays later, Brown was stopped for a loss on 3rd-and-1 at the 9-yard line, so Daluiso kicked a field goal. But Brian Dawkins was offsides on the play, so they eschewed the points for a first down; but the Giants failed to punch it in, so Daluiso came on again for a field goal to give them a 16-15 lead midway through the period.

A third-down batted pass by Hamilton forced an Eagles punt, and a 32-yard pass from Collins to Toomer over Vincent put New York at Philadelphia's 24-yard line. But on third down, a blitz forced Collins to throw it away, and he was flagged for intentional grounding, which knocked them out of field goal range.

After a Brad Maynard punt put the ball at the 10, McNabb was sacked by Hamilton and Cedric Jones, and then by Jessie Armstead on third down; with barely two minutes left but backed up at their own 3 on 4th-and-17 with two time-outs, Philadelphia chose to punt. Three straight runs by Brown picked up a first down that enabled the Giants to kneel out the remainder of the clock.

Brown rushed for 87 yards in his return to action, while Toomer had a career-high 123 yards receiving on eight catches, as the Giants won their fifth straight game over the Eagles, who extended their road winless streak to 18, albeit in a performance that made Jim Fassel "not happy at all."

Game information

Kerry Collins made his first start as a Giant, but it did nothing to improve their anemic offense, as they were held without a touchdown and staggered through three quarters before penalties and communication breakdowns quelled a late rally in a 14-3 loss to the Cardinals in sweltering Arizona heat.

A promising-looking first drive that featured their back tandem of Tiki Barber, Charles Way and Gary Brown converting third downs ultimately resulted in a punt; then late in the first quarter, Collins fumbled on a tackle by defensive end Andre Wadsworth, which was recovered by safety Kwamie Lassiter. Two plays later, Jake Plummer hit rookie wide receiver David Boston deep against Jason Sehorn for 37 yards down to the 1-yard line, where Plummer would sneak it in for a touchdown.

Three plays later, Collins had a pass intercepted by Pat Tillman; sacks by Cedric Jones and Jessie Armstead forced an Arizona punt, but Collins had an overall pedestrian first half, going just 7-of-13 for 31 yards and two turnovers. The running of Brown got New York down to the Cardinals' 24, but Brad Daluiso missed wide right on a 42-yard field goal attempt late in the second.

Meanwhile, Boston was having his way against Sehorn and Phillippi Sparks, as Plummer completed six straight passes on the ensuing drive, the biggest plays a 21-yard catch-and-run by running back Michael Pittman and an 11-yard touchdown to Boston, who jumped over Sparks to make the catch with 34 seconds left, giving him seven catches for 98 yards already.

Plummer briefly left the game with a hip pointer on Arizona's first drive of the third quarter after a tackle, but former Giant Dave Brown came in and hit tight end Terry Hardy on consecutive plays for 31 yards to put them in the red zone. However, Chris Jacke's 34-yard field goal was blocked by Christian Peter, keeping the score 14-0. But it yielded no results, as the Giants had consecutive three-and-outs, with Brown being stopped for a loss on 3rd-and-1.

A 36-yard punt return by Barber finally gave New York a jump, as Collins completed a host of short passes to Pete Mitchell and Howard Cross to help set up a 31-yard Daluiso field goal with just over 10 minutes left.

After a Cardinals punt, Collins hit Ike Hilliard on 18 and 16-yard passes; however, a holding penalty on left tackle Roman Oben and a delay of game left them with a 4th-and-22, which Collins completed to Hilliard for 24 yards to Arizona's 24. Six plays later, after their third delay of game on the day, they faced 4th-and-8 from the 10; rather than kick and make it a one-possession game with four minutes remaining, they went for it, but Collins's pass against the blitz to the end zone fluttered incomplete with no receiver in the area. A sack by Simeon Rice helped quell the Giants' last scoring threat, securing a 14-3 Arizona win.

The loss snapped a four-game winning streak over the Cardinals under Jim Fassel, as the Giants earned just five first downs through three quarters, spoiling another solid defensive outing.

Week 6: vs. Dallas Cowboys

at Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

Game information

In 1998, the Giants and Cowboys had met on Monday Night Football at Giants Stadium, and Deion Sanders had an extraordinary performance with two return touchdowns and 226 all-purpose yards. But this time, it was New York's No. 21 Tiki Barber who shined on prime time, scoring on an 85-yard punt return and then having a 56-yard catch-and-run to set up a game-winning 21-yard field goal by Brad Daluiso in a 13-10 Giants thriller.

The first quarter saw New York diligently trying to keep the ball away from Sanders, as Brad Maynard's punts were high, short and aimed out of bounds. Meanwhile, a couple of foolish penalties after the whistle on Corey Widmer and Sam Garnes helped give Dallas great field position. But a dropped pitch by Emmitt Smith and a sack by Robert Harris led to Richie Cunningham coming up short on a 48-yard field goal attempt; however, a 24-yard pass from Troy Aikman to wide receiver Raghib "Rocket" Ismail on their second drive led to Cunningham converting from 38 yards out.

With Kent Graham back in the starting lineup, the Giants gained just one first down on their first three drives, while Aikman led a Dallas march into the red zone on three consecutive third-down passes to wide receiver Ernie Mills, running back Chris Warren and rookie Wane McGarity, seeing time because of a season-ending spinal injury to Michael Irvin the previous week. But on 3rd-and-12, Garnes atoned for his miscue by intercepted a pass off a deflection; and to make matters worse for the Cowboys, McGarity suffered a separated right shoulder making the tackle.

From their own 10, Graham led a long, methodical drive that saw New York convert four third downs on passes to Ike Hilliard and Pete Mitchell and runs by Barber and Gary Brown. But on 3rd-and-3 from the 12-yard line, Graham's scramble was stopped short by defensive back Izell Reese, so Daluiso kicked a 27-yard field goal to cap an 18-play possession that lasted almost 10 minutes; the 3-3 score held up until halftime.

Both teams had third-quarter drives stopped by sacks, as Graham was brought down by defensive end Kavika Pittman just beyond midfield, Aikman was almost taken for a safety by Widmer, and Graham dropped by defensive tackle Alonzo Spellman. It was still 3-3 late in the period when Aikman completed three straight passes to Ismail and Jason Tucker for 53 yards, as the Cowboys reached New York's 21; but on 3rd-and-2, the pitch to Smith was taken down for a three-yard loss. Then Jim Fassel called time-out just before time expired, forcing Cunningham to kick his 41-yard field goal into a swirling wind; the ball hit the right upright and fell no good.

A 16-yard pass to Amani Toomer put the Giants at midfield at the start of the fourth; but on 3rd-and-1, Graham play-faked to Brown and was sacked by defensive end Greg Ellis, so they punted down to the 2. Dallas got off their goal-line with a 21-yard catch-and-run by Warren due to a missed tackle by Garnes, but they would eventually punt; as Toby Gowin's kick was fielded by Barber at the 15, he slipped outside and accelerated down the left sideline all the way for a touchdown.

After an exchange of three-and-outs, the Cowboys took over at their own 32 with 5:03 remaining; Aikman found Mills, who slipped a Jason Sehorn tackle and took it 36 yards, and then hit Ismail for 16 into the red zone. Then a nine-yard pass to Warren on 3rd-and-9 put the ball at the 6; two plays later, Smith—who only rushed for 26 yards on 22 carries—scored from the 2, tying the game at 10 just after the two-minute warning.

Starting at their own 19 with two time-outs left, the Giants picked up first downs on a run by Charles Way on 3rd-and-inches and an 11-yard pass to Joe Jurevicius. With 39 seconds to go, Graham dumped a soft pass out to Barber, who accelerated between two defenders, eluded a tackle by defensive back Singor Mobley, and took off down the right sideline before Sanders finally knocked him out of bounds at the 3. The Giants ran the ball twice with Graham before sending on Daluiso, whose chip shot field goal was good, putting New York up 13-10 with one second left.

On the kickoff, rather than trying a squib kick, Fassel—who had been the offensive coordinator at Stanford for the famous 1982 Cal-Stanford game—had Daluiso pooch it, which carried all the way down to Sanders at the 12. Sanders scrambled around to the 25, but as he was wrapped up by Scott Galyon, he tossed the ball to Kevin Mathis, who darted to open space across the field. He was eventually grabbed by Greg Comella, but lateraled back to Mobley, who raced the last 18 yards to the end zone. But way back at the other end, Sanders had been flagged because his pitch to Mathis was an illegal forward pass, ending the game in a harrowing Giants victory.

The win put New York at 3-3 and made for their first prime time win in their last eight tries, as Barber broke out with 231 all-purpose yards; however, it proved costly, as Daluiso tore his ACL trying to make the tackle, while Brown would also miss the remainder of the season due to cartilage damage in his knee.

Game information

Through six games, the Giants' offense had scored just six touchdowns; but against the 1-4 Saints, they finally broke out for a 31-3 rout, as Kent Graham threw two touchdown passes—including a 53-yard Hail Mary heave to Joe Jurevicius before halftime—and they converted on 10-of-17 third downs.

It seemed to start business as usual, as their first drive featuring a 25-yard pass to Pete Mitchell was derailed by a holding penalty and a sack allowed by left guard Jason Whittle, making his first career start for the injured Luke Petitgout. But after a New Orleans punt, the Giants got a 23-yard catch-and-run by Amani Toomer and a 24-yard run by Ike Hilliard on a double reverse. Passes to Mitchell and Hilliard took them down inside the 5-yard line before Graham scrambled and ran in for a touchdown, the offense's first in their last 12 quarters.

On the ensuing series, quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver—starting for the injured Billy Joe Hobert—hit fullback Aaron Craver for 29 yards, and then rookie Ricky Williams ran for 22, setting up a 25-yard Doug Brien field goal on the last play of the first quarter.

A 32-yard kickoff return by undrafted rookie Bashir Levingston and a personal foul penalty on linebacker Mark Fields aided New York's next march; despite Ron Stone's holding penalty negating a third-down conversion by Tiki Barber, they still ended with a 41-yard field goal by Cary Blanchard, just signed four days earlier to replace the injured Brad Daluiso.

The Saints missed a big chance soon after when they tried a halfback option pass with Lamar Smith, whose pass to a wide open Eddie Kennison fell short of the mark. It was still 10-3 late in the period when Graham hit Toomer and Mitchell for first downs before lobbing one to Toomer in the corner of the end zone for a score with 1:03 remaining. After a New Orleans three-and-out, the Giants drove up to their own 47-yard line with six seconds left; Graham launched a pass deep into the end zone, where it was deflected by safety Sammy Knight right into the hands of Jurevicius, who had snuck behind the crowd of defenders for his first NFL touchdown in dramatic fashion.

Leading 24-3 in the third quarter, Graham completed third-down passes to Mitchell and Jurevicius, but was then intercepted by linebacker Keith Mitchell. The Saints ran four straight times with Williams for 40 yards; but three plays later, Tolliver was intercepted by Percy Ellsworth. New York went three-and-out, but Tolliver's next pass was picked off again, this time by Jessie Armstead, who rumbled 31 yards down to the 12. On the next play, rookie running back Joe Montgomery spun off a tackle and barreled into the end zone, making the score 31-3.

New Orleans's first two drives of the fourth were stopped because of a sack by Cedric Jones and a deflected fourth-down pass by Jason Sehorn after Tolliver had completed five straight passes to get them inside the 5. A poor Brad Maynard punt helped put the Saints back in the red zone, but Tolliver was immediately picked off by linebacker Ryan Phillips with just over two minutes left. Montgomery fumbled it back to the Saints, but with Danny Wuerffel now under center, New Orleans failed on four plays from inside the 3 to end the game.

The 28-point margin of victory was New York's largest under Jim Fassel, moving their record up to 4-3 and sending the Saints to their fifth straight loss, despite Montgomery, Ellsworth, Robert Harris and Shaun Williams all suffering significant injuries.

What looked for three quarters like a sorry Halloween effort against their division rivals became a dramatic comeback win by the Giants over the Eagles, capped off by Michael Strahan's 44-yard interception return for a touchdown in overtime.

On Philadelphia's second possession, they handed off to Duce Staley seven times for 32 yards before eventually settling for a 28-yard Norm Johnson field goal. After an exchange of three-and-outs, Kent Graham hit LeShon Johnson for a 28-yard gain down into the red zone; however, New York would also settle for a field goal by Cary Blanchard, tying the game on the last play of the first quarter.

Three plays from scrimmage later, Doug Pederson's slant pass for Torrance Small was intercepted by Jessie Armstead, setting the Giants up at the Eagles' 36-yard line. But after a 12-yard pass to Howard Cross took them to the 9, Cross was called for holding, and Blanchard's ensuing 34-yard field goal missed wide right.

Philadelphia then drove 75 yards in nine plays, with Staley rushing for 15, catching a pass for 16, and then breaking loose for 21 and a touchdown after he appeared stopped at the line, on a series reminiscent of New York's abhorrent tackling against the Redskins in Week 2. A 3rd-and-1 stuff of LeShon Johnson led to a punt; two plays later, Pederson threw deep down the left sideline to Small, who got away from a diving Sehorn and went 84 yards for a touchdown, the longest the Giants had allowed from scrimmage since 1975.

Trailing 17-3 with just over two minutes left in the first half, Graham hit Tiki Barber for 14 yards, ran for another 14, and then found Ike Hilliard on 3rd-and-16 for 20. A 12-yard pass to Joe Jurevicius got them to Philadelphia's 23 with 11 seconds to go; but Roman Oben was flagged 15 yards for grabbing the face mask of Ike Reese on a Graham sack, knocking New York out of field goal range. Graham's Hail Mary pass was caught out of bounds by Amani Toomer as the half ended.

The Giants had another promising drive fizzle early in the third quarter after back-to-back plays by Cross and Charles Way put them at the Eagles' 32 when Graham was sacked on 3rd-and-2 by defensive end Greg Jefferson.

But after a Philadelphia punt, Graham overcame a 3rd-and-15 with a 16-yard pass to Pete Mitchell, a 3rd-and-12 with a 25-yard pass to Toomer on the run, and a 4th-and-1 with a handoff to Johnson; Johnson then scored from the 2, cutting the Eagles' lead to 17-10 at the start of the fourth.

Both teams punted before a 28-yard punt return by Allen Rossum and a 25-yard catch by Charles Johnson put the Eagles just outside the red zone. Four plays later, Norm Johnson came on for a 33-yard field goal; but it was blocked by Christian Peter, keeping it a seven-point game with six and a half minutes remaining. However, the Giants failed to capitalize on their next two drives, as Graham was sacked by Reese and then flagged for throwing an illegal forward pass after crossing the line when he would've had the first down.

With barely three minutes to go, Brad Maynard's 63-yard punt was downed by Bashir Levingston at the 3; Staley and Pederson narrowly avoided getting tackled for a safety on consecutive plays before Staley was stripped of the ball by Keith Hamilton, and Andre Weathers recovered at the 5. Two plays later, Graham hit Mitchell in the back of the end zone, tying the game at 17.

Pederson worked the ball past midfield on passes to Staley and Charles Johnson, although he just missed on a pass to the latter that would've gone for a big gain. He was sacked by Sam Garnes on the next play, but then hit Johnson for 13 yards, setting up fourth down at the Giants' 41 with eight seconds left. Rather than go for it, the Eagles sent in their long-distance kicker David Akers—who had just made his first NFL field goal the week before—for a 59-yard try; it fell short, and Graham's Hail Mary was knocked down in the end zone.

New York went three-and-out to begin overtime, and a 3rd-and-7 pass from Pederson to Johnson went for 22 yards across the 50, as Sehorn was again beaten on the play. After gaining two yards on consecutive Staley runs, Pederson's third-down pass from New York's 45 was tipped at the line by Peter and snatched by Strahan, who outran the offensive linemen all the way to the end zone, giving the Giants a thrilling 23-17 win.

The victory snapped New York's 12-game losing streak when trailing after three quarters and put them at 5-3 on the year, putting them in second place a half-game behind Washington for first place in the NFC East, while Peter was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

After their bye week, the Giants were tied with the Redskins for first place in the NFC East, and hosted the 6-2 Colts; but their post-bye week blues continued, as a late rally was spoiled by two lost fumbles in the last five minutes, resulting in a bitter 27-19 loss.

Both offenses struggled in the early going, as Tiki Barber stumbled on a third-down screen pass attempt, while Peyton Manning was intercepted on his third drive by Sam Garnes. But after Brad Maynard punted down to the 3-yard line, Manning completed 4-of-5 passes to rookie Edgerrin James and tight ends Marcus Pollard and Ken Dilger for 51 yards. He missed a wide-open Terrence Wilkins on the next play, but then drew a 27-yard pass interference penalty on Phillippi Sparks when he tried to hit Marvin Harrison deep; one play later, Manning found Harrison for a touchdown late in the first quarter.

New York answered with a 17-yard run by Charles Way and a 14-yard gain on a pass interference by cornerback Tyrone Poole, but a reverse to Ike Hilliard and a dump-off pass to LeShon Johnson both lost yards, and they ended up settling for a 33-yard Cary Blanchard field goal.

Indianapolis drove into Giants territory with a mix of short runs by James and passes by Manning; but after Sparks tackled Harrison inches short of a first down, the Colts went for it from New York's 39, and James tripped over Manning on the handoff and went down short of the mark. Midway through the second quarter, Kent Graham hit his next three passes before a 15-yard run by Barber on a draw took them to the Colts' 26; but the drive stalled, so Blanchard kicked his second field goal to cut the deficit to 7-6.

An offensive pass interference on Harrison led to Indianapolis going three-and-out, and a 28-yard punt return by Barber gave the Giants the ball at the Colts' 49 with 1:03 left in the first half. Two passes to Barber and Pete Mitchell picked up 13 yards; but after Graham's end zone shot to Amani Toomer was caught out of bounds, his next pass was deflected off Hilliard and intercepted by former Giant safety Tito Wooten.

The first drive of the third quarter saw New York handing off to Barber four times for 36 yards, as they reached the edge of the red zone; but after Roman Oben was called for holding on former Giant defensive end Chad Bratzke, Graham's deep pass for Joe Jurevicius was picked off by another former Giant Thomas Randolph, although he appeared to lose possession of the ball as he fell out of bounds.

After a holding penalty, Manning's 2nd-and-20 screen pass to James went for 33 yards, as Jeremy Lincoln and linebacker Marcus Buckley whiffed on tackles; then he threw deep to Harrison, who beat Sparks and safety Brandon Sanders—the latter recently re-signed by the Giants due to injuries after leaving him unprotected in the 1999 NFL expansion draft, cut by the Browns in August, then cut again by the Giants in September—for a 57-yard touchdown. A short Maynard punt and three straight Manning completions led to a 40-yard Mike Vanderjagt field goal, extending the Colts' lead to 17-6.

On the ensuing drive, a holding call on Luke Petitgout and a sack by defensive tackle Ellis Johnson left Maynard punting from the back of his end zone; another short kick was fielded by Wilkins at New York's 39, where he zig-zagged all the way for a touchdown.

Near the end of the period, Graham hit Toomer twice for 23 yards, and then found Jurevicius for 18 on 3rd-and-15, the Giants' first conversion of the game; two plays later, he went deep for Toomer, who outworked defensive back Tony Blevins for a 33-yard touchdown. The two-point throw was knocked away, but the deficit had been cut to 24-12 at the start of the fourth quarter. However, their momentum quickly vanished, as after a failed challenge of a Wilkins fumbled touchback, James broke through the line and raced 72 yards—stiff-arming Jason Sehorn for roughly 20 of them—down to the 8; thankfully, the defense held the Colts to a field goal, making the score 27-12.

Needing two touchdowns, Graham moved New York across midfield with passes to Barber, Mitchell and LeShon Johnson; back-to-back throws to Hilliard picked up 23 yards and put the ball on the 10-yard line. After a successful quarterback sneak on 3rd-and-inches, Graham hit Mitchell for a touchdown, cutting their deficit to 27-19 with just under seven minutes remaining.

Indianapolis went three-and-out, but on the third play of the next drive, Johnson had the ball stripped from behind on a 17-yard run by safety Chad Cota and recovered by Blevins; the defense, however, made another stand, as a hit by Jessie Armstead forced an incompletion on third down, and a 32-yard punt return by Barber put the Giants at the Colts' 47 with 3:36 to go.

With one time-out remaining, Graham completed passes to Barber and Toomer for 21 yards; they lost 10 of them due to holding on center Brian Williams, but Graham hit Hilliard for 15, down to the Colts' 18 as the clock ticked under two minutes. Graham's next pass was caught by Mitchell near the first down, but as he turned, the ball was knocked out by linebacker Cornelius Bennett and recovered by Wooten for New York's fourth and most critical turnover; two Manning kneel-downs ended the game.

Despite the loss that made the Giants 2-9 in games after the bye week, the Giants remained in a three-way tie atop the division with the Redskins and Cowboys at 5-4, setting up a crucial rematch in Washington next week.
