1977 NFL Replay Week 11 Recaps, Standings and League Leaders




The New York Football Giants have made their way into the postseason conversation.

Bobby Hammond scored on an 84 yard punt return in the first quarter and a 78 yard run in the fourth quarter to lead the Giants over the Cincinnati Bengals 28-21.

The Giants led 21-3 at the half before the Bengals rallied to tie the game in the fourth before Hammond busted loose on his game-winning run.

The Giants moved to 6-5 and second place in the NFC East and a tie for the second Wild Card spot.

The loss may have doomed Cincinnati's playoff hopes as they drop to 6-5 and third in the AFC Central.
