Despite turnover machine Eli Manning, the New York Giants' three-game winning streak has vaulted them back into the race for the putrid NFC East division title, at 3-6.

"But until (Manning's turnaround) happens, we have to be able to take it upon ourselves as a defense and say, 'You know what, he's carried our butts when we weren't getting it done for a number of games, a number of seasons even, so we have to make sure we can do the same for him while he's going through it,'" Kiwanuka said.
