New York Giants: How they can still win NFC East

But the slow start in Washington didn’t stun Manning.

“We didn’t have our best performance yesterday, that’s disappointing, and I wish we played better”, he said. “Guys were hurt and what have you, so it was important for everyone to step up”.

Despite the loss, the Giants are technically still tied with Washington for first place, but it doesn’t feel that way.

Win one against either the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills or Arizona Cardinals: The Eagles are not in the same class as the Patriots or Cardinals, who are a combined 18-2. It is time for the New York Giants to head in a different direction after the season is finished.

WR Hakeem Nicks caught a 4-yard pass from Eli Manning in his return to the Giants.

There’s little more the Giants can do.

“I mean, all week I watched film”, Dunbar said. They went three and out on both times and Dustin Hopkins’ 51-yard field goal was blocked.

A strong pass rush by the Redskins aided Washington’s secondary by disrupting Manning throughout the game. Washington LB Ryan Kerrigan (two sacks) moved ahead of Monte Coleman for third place for most sacks in franchise history with 44.5…. And his 20-yard reception on the last possession was beyond huge keeping the ball away from Manning.

The Redskins did plenty of things wrong in their win against the New York Giants on Sunday, but they did enough to earn the victory, and that’s ultimately all that matters. “We just have to try to figure out a way to put back-to-back games together like I’ve said for a while”. This season, he’s 5-0 – a favorite cousin – when he doesn’t throw a pick. The last thing that co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch want to do is fire the man that brought their franchise two Lombardi trophies, but if the New York Giants can not win the NFC East this year, they will really have no choice. QB Kirk Cousins became the first Redskins quarterback with four 300-yard passing games in a season since Brad Johnson had four in 1999…. Cousins has been able to manage games effectively for the most part and today’s game against the Giants was no exception. The Seattle Seahawks have won four of their last five – including the offensive explosion against the Steelers on Sunday – and would be a formidable playoff foe, given their vast postseason experience.

During the game Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning was intercepted three times before throwing fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham Jr, who pulled off a superb one-handed diving catch.

For all of their deficiencies and inconsistency, Jay Gruden’s Washington Redskins are right there at the top of the NFC East.

In the second half, Morris surpassed 1,000 career rushing attempts, becoming only the sixth player to record 1,000 carries with the Redskins (John Riggins, Clinton Portis, Larry Brown, Stephen Davis and Terry Allen).

Jordan Reed had eight catches on nine targets for 98 yards. His replacement, Jayron Hosley, was victimized by DeSean Jackson on a 63-yard touchdown pass and safety Brandon Meriweather was nowhere to be found with the deep help.
