DeMarcus Ware came up with his ninth sack of Eli Manning when he dropped the Giants' quarterback for a 4-yard loss in the fourth quarter. Ware has not sacked a quarterback more than Manning.
And it did it with a fractured left wrist.
Ware wore a cast for added support but said after the game he felt no pain. Ware said he suffered the injury on Thanksgiving against Oakland and X-rays confirmed the chip on Friday.
"I was like, 'Oh, my God, what am I going to do?'" Ware said, "but I'm used to having it taped up with a brace anyway so it doesn't move. Now with the cast it really makes sure it doesn't move."

Maybe one day Jason Witten will look back at Sunday's game a little more fondly.
The 500th catch of his career. Moving into second all-time in receptions in Cowboys' history. Fourteen receptions in the game, one off his career high. A career-high 156 yards.
What mattered most was that the Cowboys lost Sunday, 31-24, to the New York Giants and dropped to a first-place tie with Philadelphia.
"It's definitely humbling to be second in Cowboys' history because there's so many great tight ends and wide receivers that played here," Witten said, "but right now it's hard to think of it being a big deal."
Of the six tight ends in NFL history to reach 500 receptions only Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow did it in fewer games than Witten, 101 to 107. With 73 catches on the season, Witten has had 60 or more in six straight years, which is only bettered by future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, who has done it 11 straight years.
