"We played well. Our offensive line did a great job, but it was also important the contributions we got from Boss and Hedgecock blocking the defenders. All three of us in the backfield did well and it could have been worse. Due to technical difficulties I didn’t return but they were having trouble with Mother Nature today." - RB Brandon Jacobs following the Giants 30-10 win over the Ravens
