Giants’ Brandon Jacobs, reborn

CHICAGO — Dormant all year, the New York Giants’ running game sprang surprisingly to life in Thursday night’s 27-21 loss to the Bears. Veteran running back Brandon Jacobs, filling in as the starter for the injured David Wilson, rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. As a team, the Giants had 123 rushing yards in the game, which is 43.3 percent of their league-worst total (284) from their first five games.

With fullback John Conner heavily involved for the first time as a lead blocker, and with the Bears playing with backups in place of injured starters at defensive tackle, Jacobs found room to run the middle of the Chicago defense and took advantage of it.

Let's be honest fans care more about sports than media and I hope to create a platform for sports to be discussed honestly and opening with passionate fans adding their opinions.
