The Giants put together an impressive drive late in the second quarter, and since the Bengals were in no hurry to try to answer over the last 80 or so seconds, the Giants hold a 14-10 halftime lead.
They took the lead with an eight-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr. Beckham is playing in the slot and is getting open just about whenever he wants to.
The Bengals took a 10-7 lead in the second after a diving Dre Kirkpatrick interception led to a Mike Nugent field goal, which was actually another win for the Giants defense. Kirkpatrick returned his interception 21 yards to set up first and goal, but the Bengals went backwards before Nugent kicked a 25-yard field goal.
The Giants got the ball first and scored first, going 80 yards in eight plays and scoring on a pass from Manning to Jerell Adams. The Bengals came right back in three plays and scored on an Andy Dalton pass to A.J. Green.
Manning threw for 190 yards in the first half. Dalton threw for 154.
