End of the First Quarter. Score is still Seattle-14, New York-7.
According to Romeo, “A little bit of sloppy play on both sides. The longer you let the Seahawks gain confidence, the harder they are going to be to beat. The Giants need to have some good plays to swing the momentum in their favor, or else Seattle will give them a very hard time this entire game.”
