End of one: Giants, 3-0

Packers' first drive stalls, Giants take over and Eli Manning comes out smokin' hot: 5 for 8 for 54 yards, seemingly under control every yard of the way, a 14-yard, 71-play drive ending in a 29-yard Lawrence Tynes field goal.

Impressive.

But as the Chargers proved earlier, you gotta believe that field goals are likely not going to get it done today.

Second Packer drive ends in a three-and-out, a third-down Brett Favre to Koren Robinson swing pass going for a loss of one yard. Murmurs arise from the crowd.

Packers' defense holds after Amani Toomer drops a gimme, a sure first down. The ball must feel like a brick.

Weather report at the end of the first, start of the second quarter: Temperature now officially minus-2, winds out of the west at 14 mph, wind chill minus-21.
