Eli Manning capped the Giants opening drive with TD run.
In the first game of their championship defense, the New York Giants reemerged looking not like a one-year-wonder the season after the miracle, but much like the solid team that shocked the football world seven months ago.Their offense dominated the first 28 minutes, their defense was suffocating from start to finish and they beat the Washington Redskins, 16-7, Thursday night in the season opener at Giants Stadium.
The Giants held the ball 20:35 in the first half and 35:12 for the game. New York kept Washington quarterback Jason Campbell from completing a pass for the first 28 minutes of the game and denied the Redskins a first down until 1:10 was left in the half.
Washington eventually scored on a 12-yard pass from Campbell to Santana Moss with 13 seconds left in the opening half, cutting the deficit to 16-7, but carried no offensive momentum into the third quarter as the teams mostly traded punts.
