Tynes' 36-Yard FG Leads Giants Over Falcons In OT

Manning Throws For Career-High 384 Yards, 3 Touchdowns; Big Blue Snaps 4-Game Losing Streak Coming Off Bye Week

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) ― Lawrence Tynes kicked a 36-yard field goal 3:54 into overtime to lead the New York Giants past the Atlanta Falcons 34-31 after the defense blew a two-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter.

Eli Manning threw for a career-high 384 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Kevin Boss, to help the Giants (6-4) snap a four-game skid coming off their bye week.

It wasn't easy, though, as New York's top-ranked defense couldn't hold a 31-17 lead against Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

Ryan threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Eric Weems with 6:01 left in regulation, then found Tony Gonzalez for 11 yards with 28 seconds remaining to tie it.

Atlanta (5-5) has lost four of five after a 4-1 start.
