The mark of a well-oiled machine, good coaching, and talent. You might recall the Giants won their second Super Bowl without Phil Simms. Jeff Hostetler steps in and business as usual.

I heard this morning that Ben's 1st rib is dislocated and that is a serious injury because the aorta is nearby. The danger comes from a break, so he is fortunate. A broken 1st rib can puncture a major vein.


Curious that you mention Hostetler and Roethlisberger in the same post. They're the only 2 quarterbacks of Swiss descent to have won Super Bowls. How's that for trivia?
