Gamebreak: Steve Smith (Carolina) makes a fantastic TD catch against the Texans.
Derrick Ward gains six yards for a first down. The Packers defense looks horrible right now. They can't stop anything the Giants throw at them. Aaron Kampman and A.J. Hawk get their first shot at Manning. Joe Buck calls Eli Manning's arm a "moneymaker." Derrick Ward is all over the Packers D. On third-and-six, the Packers get shots on Manning and Jeremy Shockey. Jeff Feagles comes out to punt, passing on a 51-yard-field goal attempt. Feagles punts the ball to the four-yard line.

DeShawn Wynn is stuffed by Antonio Pierce at the line of scrimmage trying to get out from inside the five-yard line. Brett Favre lofts a long pass to Ruvell Martin and draws a pass interference call on Corey Webster, moving the ball to the 27-yard line.

Gamebreak: Cadillac Williams scores his first touchdown of the season against the Saints.
Favre completes a seven-yard pass to James Jones for a first down.
