Defensive key to beating Eli Manning is to get pressure in the middle that makes him throw off his back foot. Brett Favre can do that; Tony Romo can do that; Dan Marino preferred to do that; Eli Manning cannot do that.

Offensive key to beating the Giants is to have an efficient short passing attack that makes them drop linebackers into coverage. That makes running on their D-line - which is geared to pass pressure - far more productive.

Oh, and staying out of 3rd and 19 situations where the defensive line focuses only on clobbering your QB is a good idea too...
