In Week 1 of the NFL, the New York Giants began defense of their Super Bowl title by beating the new look Washington Redskins 16-7 at Giants Stadium. Plaxico Burress ran for 133 yards on 8 receptions but a trio of John Carney field goals and a 1-yard TD by QB Eli Manning.
In Week 12, Big Blue marched into FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland to make a statement by once during off the Redskins who after that loss found their heart to play for Jim Zorn. Have the Redskins overachieved? not really. They have a good team right here beginning with their QB1 Jason Campbell.
But the Giants scored in their very first possession in the driving rain. That says a lot. Even without Burress who is once in the midst of a storm of his own making. The Giants showed they can win whether through the air game or running the football.
Now at 11-1, they've got a tough sked ahead of them. First up are the unpredictable Philadelphia Eagles before another slobberknocker with the resurgent Dallas Cowboys who have a chance at the post-season.
