user: Q: The Giants' defense was trashed by the media during Week 4, their bye week, as they had allowed a whopping 92 points in their first three games, roughly 31 per game. After forcing a punt, the Giants drove to the Washington 29, but Jay Feely was wide left on a 47-yard attempt. Aided by a William Joseph roughing-the-passer penalty on 3rd-and-11 that would have forced a Washington punt, Mark Brunell drove the Redskins to the Giants' 21, where John Hall nailed a 39-yard field goal. Manning was unfazed, finding Amani Toomer on a 44-yard completion to move the ball to the Washington 10, and apparently finding him for a touchdown pass of 5 yards three plays later, but the score was nullified by a Jeremy Shockey pass-interference penalty. Feely knocked in a chip shot of 24 yards to tie the score, 3-3, early in the second quarter. Manning would again use the big play to help the Giants to their next score, finding Plaxico Burress on a 46-yard completion that gave the Giants the ball at the Redskins' 22. Soon after, Feely hit a 34-yard field goal to give the Giants their first lead since Week 2. After forcing a punt, Manning led the Giants on a 14-play, 84-yard drive, capped by a 32-yard field goal by Feely, his third of the quarter and half. The Giants' offense finally ground into gear on the first possession of the second half, going on a 15-play, 69-yard drive that ate up 8:05 of the clock, capped by a 2-yard touchdown toss from Manning to Burress. The Redskins could muster only one scoring opportunity the rest of the way (Hall missed a 42-yard field goal wide left the possession after Burress' touchdown), and Feely added a 40-yard field goal with 2:58 to play, capping the scoring.

Q: After winning at home, the Steelers traveled to Cincinnati for Game 2 against the Bengals. Before the game started there were an altercation between the two teams during warmups. Vince Williams and Vontaze Burfict were in the center of the scuffle. The game began with a score on the very first drive, when DeAngelo Williams ran for a 1-yard TD for a 7-0 lead and would increase their lead in the 2nd quarter, when Chris Boswell went for 2 field goals:  From 42 and 47 yards out for 10-0 and 13-0 leads.  QB Andy Dalton would be knocked out of the game so backup QB AJ McCarron came in and threw his first career TD pass to A. J. Green from 66 yards out to make the score 13-7.  Boswell, however, wrapped up the scoring of the first half with another 47 yard field goal for a 16-7 lead at halftime.  In the third quarter, the Steelers went back to work as William Gay picked off AJ McCarron and returned it 23 yards for a TD for a 23-7 game.  Mike Nugent would kick a 46-yard field goal to make it 23-10.  The Steelers went back to work in the fourth quarter when Boswell kicked a 31-yard field goal for a 26-10 game.  The Bengals responded with Nugent kicking a 27-yard field goal for a 26-13 game.  Later on however, the Steelers would pretty much seal the game when Williams ran for another 1-yard TD for a 33-13 game.  The Bengals would wrap up the scoring of the game when McCarron found Rex Burkhead on a 5-yard pass for a 33-20 final score. With the win, the Steelers improved to 8-5.  The defense also stood out and continued their reign of sacks and takeaways with 3 each (picked off Dalton once, picked off McCarron twice).

Q: Trying to snap a two-game skid, the Rams stayed at home for a Week 16 Thursday night interconference duel with the Pittsburgh Steelers.  In the first quarter, St. Louis trailed early as Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger completed a 17-yard TD pass to WR Nate Washington.  Afterwards, the Rams would tie the game as QB Marc Bulger completed a 12-yard TD pass to RB Steven Jackson.  In the second quarter, Pittsburgh responded with kicker Jeff Reed getting a 21-yard field goal.  Afterwards, St. Louis took the lead with Bulger completing a 12-yard TD pass to WR Isaac Bruce.  However, the Steelers retook the lead with Roethlisberger completing a 33-yard TD pass to Washington and a 12-yard TD pass to RB Najeh Davenport.  The Rams would end the half with kicker Jeff Wilkins getting a 52-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Pittsburgh increased their lead with Davenport getting a 1-yard TD run.  St. Louis would reply with Bulger completing a 23-yard TD pass to WR Drew Bennett.  However, in the fourth quarter, the Steelers sealed the win with Reed nailing a 29-yard field goal and CB Ike Taylor returning an interception 51&#160;yards for a touchdown. Cameras caught Torry Holt lash out an obscenity-laced tirade at Scott Linehan after the  interception. During halftime, former Rams RB Marshall Faulk's #28 jersey was retired.  Also, Isaac Bruce improved to third on the all-time receiving yards list with 14,012 career yards, behind Jerry Rice & Tim Brown.
