Giants 41, Bucs 34

Week 2

Down 24-13 at the half and wanting to avoid a 0-2 start to the season, New York rallied behind Eli Manning's 510 passing yards to come out on top in this shootout in the Meadowlands. In a contest marred by a postgame quarrel between head coaches Tom Coughlin and Greg Schiano, the final 6:48 included four touchdowns -- two from Manning -- on his near-record day. The Giants' play caller, in tossing three scores to go with three second-quarter picks, came within three yards of the team's all-time passing record of 513 yards, set by Phil Simms versus the Bengals in 1985.
