| Having been to the playoffs the past four years, the New York Giants have rarely referred to a game as must-win unless it was in the postseason. Things have changed dramatically with three straight losses, and more than one Giant is putting Sunday's game with the San Diego Chargers into the better-not-lose category. |

The Chargers and Giants tangle in the Meadowlands on Sunday, two teams desperately looking for a win.
Of course that story line takes a backseat to the one few can get enough of: Philip Rivers vs. Eli Manning.
Manning was a Charger for, oh, about 45 minutes, on draft day before being trade to the Giants. Rivers was among the booty headed the Chargers way, and Sunday marks the first time the two quarterbacks will square off against each other as starters.
Running back LaDainian Tomlinson said if he were just a fan, he would be watching those two big names from one of the NFL's most celebrated drafts.
"Sometimes rivalries are just naturally built because of where you are drafted, and then there is the trade aspect of it," Tomlinson said. |
