Eli Manning threw two touchdowns in the final four minutes as the visiting New York Giants overcame a 10-point deficit en route to a 31-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs each rushed for a touchdown for the Giants (3-1), who have won three straight since falling at Washington in their opener.
Manning, whose fumble deep in New York territory led directly to a touchdown for the Cardinals (1-3) in the third quarter, made up for any miscues down the stretch and finished 27 of 40 for 321 yards and two touchdowns.
The Giants were down, 27-17 after Beanie Wells rushed for his third touchdown with 5:16 remaining.
New York went to its no-huddle attack on the ensuing drive and needed only 1:39 to drive 80 yards. Manning hit Hakeem Nicks to bring the Giants to the 2-yard line and then found tight end Jake Ballard for a leaping catch along the back line of the end zone to make it 27-24.
After forcing a three-and-out on defense, New York then needed just two plays to take the lead.
With 2:39 left, Nicks beat rookie corner Patrick Peterson on the left side. Manning, working out of the shotgun, heaved a perfect pass that Nicks caught in stride just in front of the goal line before safety help arrived over the top.
