End of three: Giants, 20-17

Two big penalties on the Giants' opening drive against the Packers -- both on third down -- and the Giants capitalize to go up, 13-10, on a 1-yard Brandon Jacobs touchdown run.

After which he fakes the Lambeau Leap.

He draws boos. Surprise.

The first major penalty: Al Harris intercepts Eli Manning at the Packer 46. Oops. Harris tagged for illegal contact.

The second: Manning throws incomplete. But free safety Nick Collins is nailed for roughing the passer. That's 15 big yards.

An 18-yard Manning to Burress play sets up the Jacobs touchdown -- and when it's going right, it's going right. Three plays after the Burress catch, Jacobs, pushing for the goal, fumbles. But the Giants' Kevin Boss recovers. Three plays after that, Jacobs scores.

A 49-yard return by Tramon Williams puts the Packers back in business, at the Packer 39.

Third down at the New York 27, the Pack comes up short -- and now it's the Giants' turn for a stupid penalty, cornerback Sam Madison called for unnecessary roughness.

So it's first and 10 at the 12 -- and Favre finds Donald Lee wide open in the back of the end zone. 17-13, Packers.

This just in from the Wilborns, the California Packer fans, in section 107: "An insanely cold experience we are proud to be a part of. Go Pack go!"

The Fox broadcast of the game shows three young women, Packer fans, in yellow bikini tops. Now *that* has to be an insanely cold experience.

Again, though, you've got to give the Giants credit.

Manning airs it out down the sideline, to Toomer, a catch, complete, at the 12-yard line. The Packers challenge. Overruled. Pass complete.

So now it's first and 10 at the other 12.

Eight yards, Manning to Toomer.

And a four-yard Ahmad Bradshaw touchdown run. 20-17, Giants.

Burress at the end of three, and this obviously doesn't count a 30-something yard drop late in the second quarter: 10 catches, 140 yards.

Weather report at the start of the fourth quarter: temperature minus-3, winds out of the west at 12 mph, wind chill minus-24.
