Michael Muccio-Schrimpe made great yardage and a "tackle". Braden Weill and Mark Bakich were star flag-pullers making more "tackles" than we could count.

The potent Giant offense was once again front and center, this week led by Dean Pagano, Kevin DiLeonardo and Sean Moloney, each with touchdown runs or catches.

For the Patriots, Nick "Touchdown Twin" Cappellino threw a quick little pass to Chris "The Defender" Stauber, Cappellino then ran around the end for a hand off from Stauber, and took it all the way for the Patriots first TD.
