Half-Time Report: New York Giants lead Buffalo Bills by 13 points at Orchard Park

New York Giants lead Buffalo Bills by 13

The New York Giants have produced a strong first-half display to take a 16-3 lead into the break in their clash against the Buffalo Bills at Orchard Park.

The Giants had success on their first drive of the game as Eli Manning manoeuvred his side deep into Buffalo territory, but they were stopped by the home side's defence, forcing a 47-yard field goal from Josh Brown to hand the visitors a narrow lead.

Rex Ryan's men responded with a solid offensive series of their own, but the Giants held them at bay before they could break into the 20-yard line, which brought kicker Dan Carpenter on to the field. He displayed his composure to nail his 51-yard kick through the posts.

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was then intercepted by Devon Kennard down the left side, which gave Manning an attacking platform. The signal-caller had no problem finding Dwayne Harris, who raided into the endzone for the touchdown, but Brown missed the extra point.

The Giants extended their lead when they drove down to the 11-yard line and Manning delivered a strike to wideout Rueben Randle, who dove into the endzone to complete the score.
