Holy cow - Who woulda thunk it?

This game is to be rescheduled for a Monday and Tuesday and the Giants play the Eagles next Sunday.

How does this impact the Giants chances getting into the playoffs?
I saw the collapse on the pre game. Fortunately no one was hurt.

They are playing the game indoors at Ford Field in Detroit. 7 pm on Fox in the Minnesota and NY market. Folks at todays's GB-Lions game get in with a ticket stub. Holders of the NY-Minn game tickets get better seating. Travel to Detroit might be dicy with their weather. General admission tickets are free, but must be picked up in advance. They will make $$ on concessions. The Ford Field is not an inflatable dome like the Metrodome.

At least the Lions, the worst franchise in pro sports the last 50 years won't be playing. With the crap they put on the field they still make money.
