Eli Manning ended 17-of-28 for 179 yards with a touchdown and an interception as New York avoided the classic trap game. The Giants welcome the NFC leading Chicago Bears next Sunday to the Meadowlands in a game that could determine the best team in the conference. "I'm proud of our players, they hung in there," said Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. "Things weren't going our way a great deal of the time. Houston deser |

Patriots receiver Troy Brown tied Stanley Morgan for the team record for receptions in the first quarter and broke it in the second quarter on a 5-yard first down - his 535th career catch.

The New York Giants and Chicago Bears could be without their defensive leaders when the teams meet in their much-anticipated NFC showdown next Sunday night. Defensive end Michael Strahan left the Giants' 14-10 win over Houston on Sunday with a sprained foot, while Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher also injured a foot in Chicago's 31-13 loss to Miami. ``Let's not get into that,'' Strahan said outside the locker room when asked about his status for next week's game. ``You gentlemen have a splendid night.' |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan's status for next weekend's showdown with the Chicago Bears is uncertain after he was sidelined with a foot injury in New York's 14-10 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. ``Let's not get into that,'' Strahan said outside the locker room when asked about his status for next week's game. ``You gentlemen have a splendid night.'' One early sign of concern was that Strahan was wearing a boot on his right foot as he walked away. X-rays |

Granted, getting the chance to play both Super Bowl teams in consecutive weeks isn't a common occurrence. In fact, it hasn't happened at all since the Chicago Bears had the chance in 2002, and only 11 teams have had the chance since 1983. In those 22 meetings, the Super Bowl teams won 18 of the games, with the only teams other than the Lions to win being Buffalo over Dallas in 1996, and Pittsburgh over Denver |

CHICAGO (AP) -Chicago Bears wide receiver Bernard Berrian left Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins with a rib injury. Berrian caught one pass for 10 yards on the Bears' first possession but did not come out for their second series. With Berrian out, Chicago was without its primary deep threat.

Much like that coat, a gift when he was hired as coach of the Chicago Bears almost four years ago, there's far more to Smith than his modest exterior. Chicago has always liked its coaches to come with a little character. From Halas to Leo Durocher to Mike Ditka to Phil Jackson to Ozzie Guillen, it's the men with personali |

But it will be up to Green this week, as Morency will miss the contest. Green Bay signed running back P.J. Pope off the Chicago Bears practice squad on Tuesday to help fill the void. Plugging the run holes for the Buffalo defense are tackles Kyle Williams (17 tackles), Larry Tripplett (13 tackles) and Tim Anderson (12 tackles).

The first-place Giants bring a four-game win streak into their Week 9 tilt with the 2-5 Texans, and just over the horizon, in Week 10, is a potentially monumental Sunday night contest with the undefeated Chicago Bears. Will Tom Coughlin's team possess deep focus this week? The 80,000+ patrons cheering on the G-Men at the Meadowlands will expect that to be the case.
