That would not hamper the Giants from showing up and showing out in Detroit in Week 2 with a 30-17 victory. A lot of positive takeaways come from the game, but here we’ll let the pictures do the talking. Davis Webb does something goodTim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsDespite an an abysmal game against the Cleveland Browns, Davis Webb managed to string together a strong second drive against the Lions first-team defense. Webb finished 14-of-20 for 140 yards and a touchdown pass.Too easyPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesWebb’s touchdown pass was into the sure hands of second year running back Wayne Gallman.

Even though it would be his only reception, he was one of 15 Giant pass catchers with a reception during the game.

The Giants defensive unit also only allowed 67 rushing yards on the night. Giants win!Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsMany offensive woes held down the G-Men from their true potential in Week 1. This week, they were explosive behind the arm of Webb and the legs of Gallman. However, will this success carry over into next week’s matchup against the hometown rival New York Jets?
