  巴尔的摩乌鸦决心展示他们强壮的身体,纽约巨人则急于证明他们可以面对这样的冲击并予以回击。两队碰撞的结果出来了,这场充满失误的季前赛所造成的伤员数目远多于达阵数目。在北京时间今天上午结束的比赛中,巨人队在客场13-12险胜乌鸦,但是两队都失去了几位自己的核心球员。

  巨人四分卫伊莱·曼宁(Eli Manning)说:“我知道我们出现了不少伤病情况,有很多队友都在比赛中倒下了,希望他们的伤势都不严重。”

  在第二节,两位巨人队首发防守球员因伤离场——上赛季16场比赛全部首发的中卫威尔·德姆普斯(Will Demps)肘部脱臼,角卫萨姆·麦迪逊(Sam Madison)腿腱拉伤。

  巨人主帅汤姆·考夫林(Tom Coughlin)谈到了德姆普斯的伤势:“他们说需要三周的时间,不过他说自己以前受过同样的伤,两周时间就可以康复。我希望他是对的。”

  巨人队还失去了三位进攻组的球员——外接手迈克尔·詹宁斯(Michael Jennings)在比赛中3次接球,完成31码,随后就因为脚跟腱受伤而离场;在比赛中完成了一次接球达阵的史蒂夫·史密斯(Steve Smith)因为脑震荡下场;护锋格雷·鲁格默(Grey Ruegamer)同样遭受了脑震荡。

  乌鸦队的角卫萨马里·罗勒(Samari Rolle)和接球手马克·克莱顿(Mark Clayton)都在比赛中扭伤了脚踝。

  在季前赛首场对阵费城老鹰时,乌鸦以29-3胜出,而且全场没有1次丢失球权,犯规也只有3次。但是对阵巨人队时,仅仅在上半场,乌鸦就有1次丢失球权和9次犯规。

  巨人队全场犯规11次,被罚106码;乌鸦队同样犯规11次,被罚66码。

  对此乌鸦线卫雷·刘易斯(Ray Lewis)评价说:“我想我们打得过于具有侵略性了,大家有点兴奋过头。我们是个成熟的俱乐部,不能像那样打比赛。”

  巨人跑卫布兰登·雅各布斯(Brandon Jacobs)也说:“我们有一堆愚蠢的犯规,严重影响了球队的成绩。”

  乌鸦四分卫史蒂夫·麦克奈尔(Steve McNair)打了3个进攻轮次,8次传球成功5次,总传球29码,有1次传球被截。跑卫威利斯·麦基(Willis McGahee)差不多打了整个上半场,6次冲球推进3码,1次接球推进1码。

  巨人四分卫曼宁一直打到第二节,13次传球成功10次,总传球114码,并且制造了全场唯一一次达阵。

  雅各布斯和鲁宾·德拉芬斯(Droughns)正在竞争退役的提基·巴伯(Tiki Barber )留下的巨人队首发四分卫的位置,两人在上半场都有6次冲球。雅各布斯共冲球23码,德拉芬斯冲球11码。

  比赛第一节,乌鸦队因为曼宁的失误而拿到进攻权,从而在首节以3-0领先。在巨人队20码线处,曼宁在无人击球的情况下掉球,乌鸦在12码线得到球权发动进攻,由马特·斯托弗(Matt Stover)在33码外点球命中,帮助乌鸦首开纪录。

  曼宁很快将功补过,带领巨人推进80码,最终给史密斯传出一记10码的达阵传球。雅各布斯4次带球,冲球25码。

  斯托弗又踢进一记47码球,帮助乌鸦将比分缩小为6-7.

  第三节双方都未得分,最后一节中,巨人队的乔什·休斯顿(Josh Huston)和乌鸦队的里斯·劳埃德(Rhys Lloyd)交替为双方得分。休斯顿50码外射门命中,劳埃德回敬一记40码点球,接着休斯顿又是一记30码点球中的,而劳埃德在比赛还剩2分39秒时又命中一记38码的点球。最终巨人队1分险胜。

BALTIMORE (AP) —— The Baltimore Ravens were intent upon demonstrating their physical prowess. The New York Giants were eager to prove they could take it —— and give it back.

The result was a hard-hitting, mistake-filled preseason game that produced far more injuries than touchdowns.

New York won 13-12 Sunday night, but both teams lost key players.

"I know we had a lot of injuries and a lot of guys banged up. Hopefully it won't be too serious," Giants quarterback Eli Manning said.

Two members of New York's starting defense left in the second quarter. Safety Will Demps, who started all 16 games last season, dislocated an elbow and cornerback Sam Madison pulled a hamstring.

New York coach Tom Coughlin said of Demps: "They say three weeks. He said he's had this before and he was back in two. I'm hoping he's right."

The Giants also lost three offensive players. Wide receiver Michael Jennings had three catches for 31 yards before rupturing his Achilles' tendon, and Steve Smith, who caught a touchdown pass, left with a concussion. Guard Grey Ruegamer also had a concussion.

Jennings' injury occurred without a collision.

"It was a regular route. I just planted and I heard a pop noise," he said. "I'm going to have to have surgery and I've never had surgery before. I'm trying to look at the good side, but I don't know what the good side is right now."

Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle and receiver Mark Clayton sprained ankles.

In opening the preseason with a 29-3 rout of Philadelphia, Baltimore did not commit a turnover and was penalized only three times. Against the Giants, the Ravens had one turnover and received nine penalties in the first half alone.

"They'll come back. This is a good group," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "But you would think you wouldn't need to learn a lesson like this. If you don't keep your focus and your wits about you, then that's what you see out there."

New York (1-1) was penalized 11 times for 106 yards, and Baltimore (1-1) was called for 11 penalties totaling 66 yards.

"I just think it was overaggressiveness," Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said. "Guys were fired up a little too much and jumped offsides when we should be keying on the ball. We're a veteran club; we can't let things like that happen."

New York running back Brandon Jacobs agreed: "Coming out, we had a bunch of dumb penalties and a lot of dumb staff going on out there. It definitely hurt us."

Ravens quarterback Steve McNair played three series, going 5-for-8 for 29 yards with one interception. Running back Willis McGahee played much of the first half, gaining 3 yards on six carries and catching one pass for a yard.

Manning played deep into the second quarter, going 10-for-13 for 114 yards and producing the game's lone touchdown.

Vying to replace the retired Tiki Barber as New York's starting running back, Jacobs and Reuben Droughns each received six carries during the first half. Jacobs rushed for 23 yards and Droughns gained 11.

The Ravens took advantage of a turnover by Manning to go up 3-0 in the first quarter. After a sneak by McNair came up short on fourth-and-1 from the New York 20, Manning fumbled without being hit and Baltimore recovered on the 12. Matt Stover then kicked a 33-yard field goal.

Manning made amends by capping an 80-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Smith. Jacobs accounted for 25 yards rushing on four carries.

Stover kicked a 47-yard field goal late in the half to make it 7-6.

After a scoreless third quarter, New York's Josh Huston sandwiched field goals of 50 and 30 yards around a 40-yarder by Baltimore's Rhys Lloyd, who added a 38-yarder with 2:39 left.

"It was definitely a defensive struggle, with the kicking game being all important in that circumstance," Coughlin said. "Huston had a nice second half."

Against the Eagles, Baltimore drove 93 yards for a touchdown on its opening possession. This time, playing in the rain, the Ravens sputtered at the outset.

Top draft pick Ben Grubbs, starting for injured Chris Chester at right guard, jumped offside before the first snap. McGahee followed by losing 5 yards on a run, and Baltimore punted.

Things worsened for the Ravens on New York's initial play from scrimmage. During a 17-yard completion from Manning to Jennings, Rolle twisted his right ankle and had to be helped from the field.

The Ravens' next drive ended with an interception by Madison after McNair threw deep into double coverage.

"It just wasn't there tonight," McNair said. "It started off wrong with penalties and I had a turnover. It's something that's better to happen now than later."

Notes

In the battle to be Baltimore's third-string QB, Troy Smith went 4-for-8 for 60 yards, outplaying Drew Olson (1-for-4, 6 yards). …… New York's Ahmad Bradshaw gained 70 yards on seven carries. The Giants rushed for 182 yards; Philadelphia gained 23 vs. Baltimore last week.
