The biggest highlight of the night came from running back Akeem Hunt who returned a kick 70-yards in dazzling fashion.
.@Giants RB Akeem Hunt fields the kick.. And makes a lot of fast people look slow on this 70-yard return. #NYGvsCIN http://t.co/YiEooFNMkW

Much like the Jets from a night ago, Tom Coughlin’s concern will surely be with the defense. They allowed Andy Dalton, A.J. Green and company to drive right down their throats on the opening drive of the game, capping off with a Mohamed Sanu 3-yard TD reception.
All told the Giants defense gave up 432 yards to their own 224.
Their next test will come next Saturday at home as they welcome in the young Jacksonville Jaguars.
