Madison pulled before the TD

January 20, 2008 9:00 PM

The Giants pulled starting cornerback Sam Madison before the touchdown because of his ridiculous personal foul on the previous play. I'm still waiting for a replay, but it looked like Sam Madison grabbed running back Vernand Morency by the helmet after the play.

When he left the field, Favre had Donald Lee in a mismatch against safety James Butler. Easy touchdown. Packers up, 17-13. If the Packers win this game, the Tramon Williams return will be a major factor.

By the way, that's only the second pass Plaxico Burress has caught against a cornerback not named Al Harris. That was Charles Woodson on the coverage a second ago.

I think every Giants fan in America is praying that Manning won't throw an interception right now. And I'm dead if I just jinxed him.
