There's every indication that the New York Giants will meet the New England Patriots' quest for perfection head-on Saturday night and play, or at least start, their starters.
Nicked-up players who were expected to rest on Wednesday practiced and said they wanted to play. And coach Tom Coughlin, while leaving himself some wiggle room, said the Giants would prepare for and play the game the same as any other week.
The matchup with the Patriots, who are seeking to become the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to complete a regular season undefeated, has divided opinions on what's more important for the playoff-bound Giants: Taking the challenge to stop the Pats' march toward history, or resting starters and avoiding injuries for next weekend's playoff game at Tampa Bay.
"Our objective is to win," Coughlin said Wednesday, according to New York-area media reports. "That's what we work for, that's what we prepare for, that's what we practice for. And it will be no different this week."
