The veterans of Giants brought happiness for the New York team fans . Defensivley, it was end Michael Strahan who delivered. He pressured Bucs QB Jeff Garcia relentlessly and finished with nine tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. On offense it was Toomer who came up with seven catches and the game-sealing touchdown. Eli Manning (photo) got his first playoff win in his third attempt. “We love playing there, we love going down to Dallas,” Eli Manning said. “We weren’t sluggish, but it was not like we were the week before,” said Giants veteran receiver Amani Toomer, who had a big game. “We needed one play to get us going and for me to be the guy, I was excited.”
