A telling-off from coach Jim Fassel put rookie kicker Matt Bryant in the right frame of mind for an overtime 39-yard field goal that gave the New York Giants a 10-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles and a berth in the NFL playoffs on Saturday.
In the day's other game, Oakland wrapped up the best record in American Conference and ended Kansas City's playoff hopes with a comfortable 24-0 win.
Bryant missed from 36 yards earlier in the game, which got Fassel on his case.
