New England Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored his second touchdown of the night as the first quarter ticked down to give the Patriots a 17-3 lead over the New York Giants.
The Patriots again found themselves in fantastic field position, right on the Giants four yard line. Matthew Slater took a pass from Tom Brady 64 yards to earn them that field position.
Stephen Gostkowski hit the extra point for the Patriots at the very beginning of the second quarter.
