We get a battle between Super Bowl Champions in a Play In Game, the 2007 SB Giants not only don't have an All Pro, they have only one Pro Bowler, 26 year old Osi Umenyiora, he had 13 sacks and 36 year old Michael Strahan added 9. 26 year old Eli Manning had 24 scores and 20 picks. 25 year old Brandon Jacobs had over a thousand yards rushing. 30 year old Plaxico Burress over a thousand receiving.
