The Kansas City Chiefs lead by three points at the break in their NFL clash with the winless New York Giants.
The Chiefs started the game well as Alex Smith and his offense were in rhythm early on, but the Giants' defense held them until the start of the second quarter when he finally punched the ball into the end zone and found tight end Sean McGrath on a five-yard strike.
New York were behind for just 50 seconds as Eli Manning found wide receiver Victor Cruz on a deep go route for a 69-yard touchdown as he sprinted past cornerback Dunta Robinson to tie the scores.
Smith rallied his team after the strike from the Giants and led them downfield, but they were forced to settle for a field goal as the visitors kept them out of the end zone. Ryan Succop nailed a 51-yard effort through the posts to restore their advantage.
Just before the break, New York kicker Josh Brown had the chance to tie the scores with a 44 yarder but he drilled his effort just wide of the left upright.
