Until this most recent drive, Eli Manning had been fantastic, but he's thrown an interception to give Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers a chance to take the lead heading into halftime. The Pack's pass rush has been poor, giving the New York Giants QB plenty of time to throw the ball, but Desmond Bishop came up big to hit Manning and force a bad throw, which Morgan Burnett intercepted.

Victor Cruz and Jake Ballard both made huge receptions on the drive of 18 and 17 yards respectably, helping to get the Giants onto the edge of field goal range. On third down and five at the Packers' 34, Manning made a questionable decision and threw the ball up for grabs, and Burnett made a great play to get his hands on the ball and make the pick.
