-------Welcome to the live blog of Giants vs. Falcons-------
The New York Giants are trying to put away the NFC East, but in their way stands the Atlanta Falcons who have the best record in the NFC.
For the Falcons, it's their chance to prove a point. They were bounced from the first round of the playoffs last season by these same Giants in an embarrassing 24-2 loss.
Will the Falcons get payback? If you can't watch the game live, don't worry, we have the coverage for you. We bring you this blog with up to the minute scores, stats and play-by-play with colorful commentary.
Both teams have electric players and are currently in the playoff picture. So it will be a must-see game.
[Peep the predictions I made fo this game]
Giants' No. 1 receiver, Victory Cruz, has been criticized by Roddy White, the Falcons' No. 1 wide out. Earlier in the season, White said that big time receivers play in the outside, which is a direct knock at Cruz who has more success when in the slot.
Both squads have No. 1 talents at their quarterback position in Eli Manning and Matt Ryan. Ryan comes into the matchup with the statistical advantage passing for 3,932 yards, good for third most in the league and has 24 touchdown passes. Manning has the rings and is putting together a decent as he is 9th in passing with 3,429 yards and has thrown for 23 touchdowns.
Points can come in a hurry, so this matchup is bound to be a high scoring affair, especially if the defenses don't step up.
