The Falcons started quickly, jumping ahead on Morten Andersen’s 47-yard field and reclaiming a 10-7 lead when Jerious Norwood broke off 67-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage after Manning’s TD pass to Toomer.

New York bounced back to take the lead for good before the quarter was done. Brandon Jacobs broke off a 20-yard run and Manning completed three passes for 56 yards, the last of them a 17-yarder that Toomer gathered in at the 1 and managed to drag both toes along the turf before tumbling out of bounds.

Reuben Droughns powered over on the next play, and the Giants were up 14-10 and on their way.

Toomer became the leading receiver in Giants history with his 587th career reception, and also tied Kyle Rote’s club mark with 48 TD catches.

Derrick Ward added New York’s final score with just over 3 minutes remaining on a 9-yard run.

Petrino must be wondering why he left a college powerhouse at Louisville.

“I’m frustrated, everybody’s frustrated,” he said. “We’ve just got to keep working at it. Eventually, it’s going to turn.”

Notes: The Giants became just the third team in NFL history with 600 regular-season wins. They are 600-502-33 in franchise history, following Chicago and Green Bay. ... Atlanta reached 100 yards rushing for the first time this season, largely because of Norwood’s big run. Starter Warrick Dunn was held to 15 yards on eight carries. ... Atlanta DT Rod Coleman played his first game of the season but wasn’t much of a factor with three tackles.
