In the second half, Giants RB Eddie Price and Joe Scott continued to hammer away the the Cleveland front until New York was able to cash in on 2 fourth quarter field goals from Ray Poole.

The Giants defense sealed the game on a fourth down sack of Otto Graham with 13 seconds remaining. Cleveland finished with only 189 yards offense for the game.
