Caught six passes for 113 yards; a 61 yarder assured a victory.  Giants 27 Eagles 17.

caught two passes one for 27 and the next for 10 yards; this kept the Giants in the game; they won in overtime 26 to 23; 006

The Eagles wasted  a great defensive effort; they led 24 to 7 after three quarters, then fell apart in the fourth; for the day the Eagles had eight sacks of Eli Manning for 53 yards in losses plus a pass interception.  The Giants scored 17 points in the fourth quarter sending the game into overtime; Plaxico Burress caught six passes for 114 yards including the 31 yard winning touchdown reception in overtime; Giants 30 Eagles 24; had Philadelphia won, the BYE week in the post season was assured.
