Dominating defense. Efficient offense. Excellent special teams. If there ever was something called a Non-Shutout Shutout, the Giants' 24-2 win against the Falcons was it.

It took the offense some time to get started, but they rolled off chunks of yards both passing and running. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw finally looked like the power and quickness tandem we expected them to be. Eli Manning played a nice game and Hakeem Nicks looked healthy again. The defense was stifling. It stopped Atlanta on two fourth-and-1s and one third-and-one. They kept Atlanta outside the 25 yard line for the entire game. The defensive backs shut down Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. Matty Ice Ryan looked like he was melting.

The Giants defense has finally returned to form and if it plays as well as it did against the Jets, Cowboys and Falcons, the team has a very good chance to beat the Packers. The Giants are now about as healthy as they have been all year on both sides of the ball. Justin Tuck is still playing hurt, but is coming up big. Osi Umenyiora is back in form and Jason Pierre-Paul might already be the most dominating defensive player in the league.
