The New York Giants overcame numerous obstacles against the Bills today: the weather, five fumbles by their starting quarterback, and the emotional return to Buffalo of injured tight end Kevin Everett. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw each topped 140 yards rushing, and the Giants bounced back from an early 14-point deficit to win 38-21 at Buffalo, reports the Times.

With deteriorating weather, the Giants took to the ground, running the ball 47 times and throwing only 15 passes. Despite that, Eli Manning still had two interceptions but managed to win anyway. New York had two interception returns for touchdowns in the game. The injured Everett spoke to the Bills before the game. "I was speechless," said one Bills player. (More NFL stories.)
