Eagles Lead Giants 7-0 After First Quarter, Vick 4-yard TD Run

Michael Vick's four yard touchdown run is the only score of the game.

It looked like a defensive struggle early on in the first quarter, with both teams going three and out on their first drives.  The Giants went three and out once more, before Michael Vick and the Eagles got their second opportunity on offense and put together a long scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead, which stands at the end of the first quarter.

Philadelphia took over at its own 32 yardline with 9:25 left in the second quarter and put together a 13 play, 68 yard drive that culminated in a 4-yard scramble by Michael Vick for a touchdown to put the Eagles on top 7-0.  Vick went 6-of-8 on the drive for 59 yards, with two key completions. On 2^nd and 18 from the Eagles 24 yardline, Vick stayed patient in the pocket before finding DeSean Jackson over the middle for a 23-yard gain.  Six plays later on 3^rd and 9 at the Giants’ 28 yardline, Vick again found Jackson for a first down, this time picking up 13 yards.

The Giants began a drive at the end of the quarter, moving the ball with a pair of passes from Eli Manning. On the first play of the drive he found Mario Manningham for 15 yards, then hit Hakeem Nicks for 16 yards.  The Giants have the ball at their own 43-yardline with a 3^rd and 2 play upcoming at the start of the second quarter.

After one quarter, Vick is 6-of-9 for 59 yards and has three carries for 6 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown.  DeSean Jackson has two catches for 36 yards, while McCoy has two catches for 16 yards and 3 carries for 4 yards.

Eli Manning is 3-of-4 for 36 yards, while Ahmad Bradshaw has four carries for 2 yards and Brandon Jacobs has run once for 2 yards.
