Offensive stats were not great in this game but the gmen did outgain the Seahawks. The GMEN played the game very tight as we were confident that they couldn't score against us. I barely blitzed and sent as many guys into coverage which led to four ints. The game was really played close to the vest by the GMEN and their normally high flying offense took a back seat to the Giants stifling D.
MVP of the game was Antonio Pierce with two interceptions, one which was returned for a touchdown, 7 tackles and two tackles for loss.
