Trying to build on their road win over the Eagles, the Titans went home for a Week 12 fight with the New York Giants. In the first quarter, Tennessee trailed early as QB Eli Manning completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Plaxico Burress for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, Giants RB Brandon Jacobs got a 10-yard and 4-yard TD run to give the Giants a seemingly comfy 21–0 halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, the Titans' improbable comeback began in the fourth quarter with 10 minutes remaining. QB Vince Young completed a TD pass to TE Bo Scaife. Afterwards, Young would follow it up with a 1-yard TD run. The key play of the game came on a 4th and 10 from Tennessee's 24-yard line, when Giants DE Mathias Kiwanuka actually had Young in his grasp, but he let go because he was afraid that he would get a Roughing the Passer penalty. It allowed Young to dash away for the first down. Four plays later, he would complete a 14-yard TD pass to WR Brandon Jones. Afterwards, after Manning got intercepted by CB Pacman Jones (who intercepted Manning earlier in the game), it would lead to the game-winning field goal, as kicker Rob Bironas nailed it from 49 yards out. With the win, the Titans improved to 4–7.

“Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“A New York divorce is in itself a diploma of virtue.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
