Giants back in business with defense

For the last few weeks, Antonio Pierce has been using the New York Giants' awful start to motivate himself and his teammates.

"We want to keep playing like we're 0-2 right now,'' the Giants' middle linebacker says every week.

That won't work much longer as New York continues to climb toward the top of the NFC, with five straight wins and a game in London next week against the winless Dolphins.
