THE AUDIBLE
presented by:
Dave and Young Marty

Score of the Game:
Giants 14, Texans 10

Highlights of the Game:
Shockey caught the go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter as the banged-up Giants slipped by with a 14-10 victory over the Houston Texans in an interconference game. With a high-profile matchup with the Chicago Bears a week away, Shockey caught a three-yard TD pass from Eli Manning with 7:49 remaining to lift New York (6-2) to its fifth straight win. Shockey and the Giants complete a three-game homestand next Sunday night against Chicago, which won its first seven games, most in dominating fashion, before being stunned by lowly Miami, 31-13. New York also absorbed another key loss on the defensive side when end Michael Strahan left the game in the second quarter with a mid-foot sprain and did not return. The X-rays for the seven-time Pro Bowler were negative. The NFL's leading rusher, Tiki Barber got his first touchdown of the season with a 16-yard rumble around left end in the first quarter that opened the scoring. Barber finished with 115 yards on 17 carries and added 40 more on three receptions.

Tailgate Highlights:
A big lonestar yee-hah goes out to Dave and Young Marty for stepping up at the last minute and serving up an A+ tailgate with tons of traditional 17E splendor! Menu highlights include Frank Walker Home Boy Chicken Soup with 41 herbs and spices (approved by the cornerback himself - runner up in the 4th annual Giants Cook-Off competition). The crew also enjoyed a healthy pre-game helping of slow cooked ribs in a sensational BBQ sauce and Beef Wellington Mara. As always, there was plently of good food, good drink and good fun for all!
