WEEK 1 OSFL make up game
GIANTS 16***STEELERS 13
In an outstanding game that saw momentum go back and fourth, the Giants eek out a squeaker at the buzzer with a game winning kick to get their first win of the year in the very tough OSFL.
The Giants opened the game with an amazing opening drive which spanned practically the whole 1st quarter, a 7:14 sec drive culminating in Steve Christie Field goal to make it 3-0 G-men. Steelers quickly strike back with Duece Staley who had a great game rushing for 93 yards on 11 carries. His 23 yard run helped spawn a scoring drive with the steelers tying the game up at 3 with a Jeff Reed field goal in the 2nd quarter. Steelers get the ball back and Staley again rips his longest run of the day with a 58 yard scamper which sets up the second score for the steelers, a Randle El touchdown pass putting the Steelers up 10-3 to end the half.
2nd Half and after both teams have trouble moving the ball the Giants make another long drive into Steeler territory where a pass from Manning is picked off by Farrior then as Farrior is making the return he is hit by toomer who causes the fumble and the ball is recovered by Suebert of the Giants. The drive ends with a field goal to make it 10-6 steelers. After the Steelers make another Reed field goal to make it 13-6 Giants come back again this time its Tim Carter with a 39 yeard pitch and catch from Manning. The Drive ends with a 17 yard tiki barber touchdown to tie the game at 13.
Both teams make great defensive plays and the game comes down to the giants having the ball at its own 8 yard line due to a great punt by the steelers. However Tiki Barber makes a 63 yard run into Steeler territory allowing the giants to run what little time on the clock down and win the game on a Steve Christie field goal with 2 seconds left 16-13.
