GIANTS 23REDSKINS 7
Who need's Plaxico Burress? Apparently, the Giants do not need him at all. With their troubled receiver recovering from a self inflicted gun shot wound, the Giants took care of business against the Redskins, beating up Washington 23-7 on a rain soaked Sunday.
Even though the Giants running game was virtually stopped by Washington as Brandon Jacobs had only 71 yards rushing and Derek Ward had only 30 yards rushing, the Giants found a way to win.
Defense was the name of the game for Big Blue. They got four sacks on quarterback Jason Campbell, holding the Redskins helpless throughout the contest.
The only bright spot for Washington was a 29 yard run for a touchdown by receiver Devin Thomas on a reverse, but that is not saying a lot for the Skins.
Eli Manning was solid once again completing 21 of 34 passes for 305 yards with a touchdown to Amani Toomer in the first quarter.
The Giants know how to make football boring; that happens when you are a great football team playing against mediocore competition. The Giants improve to 11-1 on the season with a shot at clinching a playoff spot next week against Philadelphia.
