Giants Fall to Saints in Big Easy

The New York Giants stumbled for the first time in 2009 with a 48-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday at the Super Dome in New Orleans.  The Giants fell behind early and were unable to stop the NFL's most prolific offense.  The Saints rolled up 493 yards of total offense in the game.

While the Giants did not come away with the victory, the offense did score three touchdowns.  Running back Ahmad Bradshaw and receivers Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks each crossed the goal line for the G-Men.

The Giants record slips to 5-1, however they still retain a two game lead in the NFC East over both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants are now 3rd in the league in scoring, averaging 29.7 points per game and are third in total offense.

Through six weeks of the NFL season, the Touchdowns for Families program has raised $4,750.00 for the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance and the Healthy U program.
