The New York Giants hopes of ending the season on a high-note took a hit when they lost quarterback Eli Manning and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks for the rest of the game. Both have been ruled out with ankle sprains.

For Eli Manning, that means a career high 27-interception season has come to an end. It also means Nicks’ season will end without a touchdown catch.
