Eli Manning finds familiar target in Hakeem Nicks in Giants' win

Posted Oct 3, 2011
Coming off a 79-catch, 11-touchdown season, Nicks was expected to have an even bigger year for the Giants, especially with the loss of Steve Smith. After suffering a knee injury in the season opener, he was limited to seven catches for 63 yards in his next two games, combined. But today’s game marked a return to form for Nicks, who is often open even when he’s covered. (Newark Star-Ledger)
