 Quarterback Eli Manning scores the Giants' touchdown New York made the best of a muddy pitch at Wembley to record a 13-10 win over Miami in the first competitive NFL game outside the Americas.  Miami Dolphins' late touchdown was not enough to trouble the Giants |
Miami were beset by injuries, with veteran quarterback Trent Green (concussion), top running back Ronnie Brown (knee) and star linebacker Zach Thomas (neck) all out. In the first half, they could only pose a threat on their opening drive, when they relied heavily on the running of Brown's replacement Jesse Chatman. That threat was snubbed out, though, and Feely - on his third sporting visit to the UK as he played youth football against the likes of Manchester United and Celtic - saw his 48-yard field goal attempt tipped wide right. Tynes - who lived in Greenock before moving to Florida at the age of 10 - made no mistake when presented with a 20-yard chance with just under four minutes left in the opening quarter. The Giants could have been further ahead, though, had Manning found his touch with two simple passes into the end zone beforehand. Overall, Manning endured miserable passing figures as he completed just eight of 22 attempts for 59 yards.
