OFFENSIVE LINE: C+They gave up a safety and some pressure, but they had to survive with another lineman going down and Dallas Reynolds coming in. He had never played there with the Giants, but the guys who got beat were the starters.

QB ELI MANNING: B+They had a good game plan and he protected the ball well for the most part. Some things were forced, but it was that type of game.

RUNNING BACKS: B-They had 21 attempts for 41 yards. If Andre Brown had 10 more attempts, he probably would have broken one to help his average. The overall attempts were just down compared to 42 passes.

WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS: B+Jerrel Jernigan had to step up. Brandon Myers is continuing to step up lately, and Louis Murphy had two catches. Everyone was involved. They stepped up.

DEFENSIVE LINE: BThey were good against the pass and forced a fumble, but the Lions busted them for 148 rushing yards on 4.1 yards per carry.

LINEBACKERS: AJon Beason was active with 11 tackles while the Lions' longest play of the game was just 17 yards.

SECONDARY: AWill Hill had the key pick-six. Antrel Rolle had a fumble recovery. The defensive backs shut down the best receiver in the NFL in Calvin Johnson.

SPECIAL TEAMS: A-Michael Cox's return was huge to begin overtime, and then the game-winning field from Josh Brown was obviously big. Earlier, he hit from 52 and 41 yards.
