This summer when we found out the Giants would be playing in St. Louis, we decided we'd go. They are Jonathan's favorite team and this would be closest they'd be this season. We drove up Saturday night. We braved the elements on Sunday (see the previous post) and headed to the game. There was a huge backup on I-55 North. I finally ended up going the wrong way on a merge ramp to get off. I used my Blackberry 8800's GPS to get around the jam and we got there about 10 minutes late. It was 7-0 Giants when we got there. The Rams kicked two long field goals and Giants matched them for a 13-6 halftime score.The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter (with the Ram's scoring on an acrobatic end zone catch by Tory Holt) to make it 20-13 heading into the 4th quarter.
The Giants ground out a long touchdown drive to take a 27-13 lead. On the next drive, the Giants came up with a game clinching play. Justin Tuck grabbed an interception and ran it back all the way to make it 34-13 and empty the stadium
The Giants tacked on another touchdown for the 41-14 final.
The Giants fans all gathered behind their bench for the last couple of minutes. They were all shouting and cheering and of course Jonathan had to join in the fun.It was a very enjoyable experience. I did learn that I should check traffic next time before we leave.
The Giants play at Arrowhead next year and we are already making plans to go!
The action shots were taken by Tom Gehrke (my fellow USEC employee and suffering Rams fan).
