SERIES RECAP. The Giants and Eagles have played 152
regular season games since 1933. The Giants lead the series, 79‐
71‐2. The two teams have also met four times in the
postseason, with the series tied at 2‐2.
Including a postseason loss in a 2008 NFC Divisional Round
Playoff game, the Giants have lost six straight games vs. the
Eagles, tied for the Giants’ second longest losing streak against
the Eagles in franchise history.
THE LAST TIME vs. EAGLES. The Giants squandered a 31‐10 fourth quarter lead and allowed 28 points in the final 7:28 of the game to lose to the Eagles, 38‐31, at home on Dec. 19, 2010.
The only score of the first quarter came when Eli Manning found Mario Manningham on third‐and‐eight for a 35‐yard touchdown pass, capping a nine‐play, 71‐yard drive.
Eagles kicker David Akers’ 34‐yard field goal less than two minutes into the second quarter cut the Giants’ lead to 7‐3.
With 8:17 left in the second quarter Manningham scored his second touchdown of the day on a 33‐yard pass from Manning. The touchdown came after the Giants traveled 73 yards on eight plays in 4:45.
Lawrence Tynes’ 25‐yard field goal with 48 seconds left in the half increased the Giants’ lead to 17‐3.
On the second play of Philadelphia’s ensuing possession, Terrell Thomas forced a fumble. Safety Kenny Phillips scooped up the ball and returned it 22 yards to the Eagles’ eight‐yard line. With nine seconds remaining in the half Manning fired a pass to the end zone for Hakeem Nicks, giving the Giants a 24‐3 lead five seconds before halftime.
Michael Vick’s eight‐yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin pulled the Eagles to within 24‐10 in the third quarter. They needed to travel only 25 yards after defensive tackle Mike Patterson recovered a Manningham fumble.
The Giants’ only points of the second half and Manning’s fourth scoring pass of the game, an eight‐yarder to Kevin Boss, extended the Giants’ lead to 31‐10. The score was a result of Phillips’ second fumble recovery of the game.
With their next possession, Philadelphia needed only two plays to cover 75 yards and cut the Giants’ lead to 31‐17, scoring on a 65‐yard pass to Brent Celek with 7:28 left in the game.
After Vick’s touchdown pass to Celek, Philadelphia
NEW YORK GIANTS (1‐1) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (1‐1) Week 3
September 25, 2011 1:00 PM ET
Lincoln Financial Field
recovered an onside kick that led to a Vick four‐yard touchdown run, making it 31‐24.
The Eagles tied the game with Vick’s third passing touchdown of the game, a 13‐yard pass to Maclin with 1:16 remaining. Philadelphia traveled 88 yards in eight plays and only took 1:45 off the clock.
After two incomplete passes and a sack on third down, the Giants were forced to punt from their own 29‐yard line on fourth and 17. DeSean Jackson became the first player in NFL history to score a game‐winning touchdown on a punt return on the final play of the game when he returned a line‐drive punt for a 65‐yard score after initially muffing it at the Eagles 35‐yard line.

Week 2 Giants Game Ball
Last week’s game ball went to LB Michael
Boley, who was second on the team with
six tackles and one pass defensed. He also
returned a fumble 65 yards for the go‐
ahead touchdown in the second quarter,
which proved to be the turning point in
the game as the Giants never looked back.

EAGLES/GIANTS CONNECTIONS. Head Coach Tom Coughlin was the
wide receivers coach for the Eagles from 1984‐85. Secondary/cornerbacks
coach Peter Giunta was the defensive backs coach for the Eagles from
1991‐94. Eagles wide receiver Steve Smith was drafted by the Giants in the
second round (51st overall) in 2007. Smith was named to the Pro Bowl in
2009 with the Giants, won a Super Bowl championship and holds the Giants
record for most receptions in a season (107).
ROOKIE WATCH. The New York Giants welcome 10 rookies to the 53‐
man roster for the 2011 season. The group includes seven draft choices
(defensive back Prince Amukamara, wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan, tackle
James Brewer, linebackers Greg Jones and Jacquian Williams, safety Tyler
Sash, and running back Da’Rel Scott) and three free agents (linebackers
Mark Herzlich and Spencer Paysinger, fullback Henry Hynoski).
FILLING IN NICELY. With defensive end Osi Umenyiora out the first two
weeks, the Giants relied heavily on second‐year DE Jason Pierre‐Paul and he
delivered. A product of South Florida, Pierre‐Paul has 2.5 sacks and five
tackles in the first two games. Pierre‐Paul came on strong at the end of the
2010 season, finishing with 30 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He had two sacks vs.
Jacksonville (11/28) and two vs. Washington (12/5) to become the first
rookie in Giants history with at least two sacks in consecutive games.
LOSSES TO THE DEFENSE. The Giants placed CB Terrell Thomas on
injured reserve on Aug. 23, one day after tearing his ACL against the Bears.
Thomas was the Giants leader in tackles and interceptions for the past two
years. Another cornerback who tore an ACL in the game against the Bears,
Brian Witherspoon, was waived/injured. Second round draft choice DT
Marvin Austin was placed on injured reserve on Aug. 23 after tearing his
pectoral muscle against the Bears. LB Clint Sintim was placed on injured
reserve on Sept. 2 after he tore his ACL in the final preseason game against
the New England Patriots. The Giants also placed Jonathan Goff on injured
reserve on Sept. 10 after tearing his ACL in practice on Sept. 5.
APPLYING THE PRESSURE. The Big Blue defense finished 2010 with 46
sacks and opened the season on a mission to shatter that mark with six
sacks in the first two games. Justin Tuck returned to action last week with
1.5 sacks of Rams QB Sam Bradford. Jason Pierre‐Paul leads the team with
2.5 sacks. The Big Blue defense has also forced at least one turnover in 15
straight regular season games.
AT THE LINC. The Giants are 4‐5 at Lincoln Financial Field all‐time, 4‐4
during the regular season and 0‐1 in the post season.

2011 RULE CHANGES
1. Unnecessary Roughness: Three adjustments were made to the unnecessary roughness rule in the interests of player safety and competitive fairness:
Existing unnecessary roughness rules have been standardized and protection for defenseless players has been expanded, including additional safeguards for defenseless receivers, players who receive “blindside” blocks and quarterback, kickers and punters on changes of possession. All unnecessary roughness violations result in a 15‐yard penalty.
Illegal “launching,” which has been defined as a player leaving both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into an opponent and delivering a blow with any part of the helmet, has been prohibited. “Our intent with launching was trying to make a uniform rule that applied everywhere on the field to every player,” says NFL Competition Committee Chair and Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay.
Roughing the passer rules have been clarified so hits to the head of a passer by an opponent’s hand, arms, or other parts of the body will not result in fouls unless they are forcible blows.
2. Kickoffs: Due to an increasing number of injuries on kickoffs, several rules have been changed to make those plays safer for both the kicking and receiving teams. The kicking team’s restraining line has been moved to its own 35‐yard line. The kicking team formation for kickoffs has also been adjusted so all players other than the kicker must be lined up no more than five yards behind their restraining line. Illegal formation violations result in a five‐yard penalty.
3. Instant Replay: Two adjustments were made to instant replay procedures in the interest of competitive fairness: The replay official will now initiate reviews of all scoring plays throughout the game from the booth, allowing confirmation of
all scoring plays providing more flexibility to coaches in the use of their challenges. “This proposal is what I would call a modernization of instant replay,” says McKay.
Teams will now be penalized 15 yards for initiating a challenge after a foul prevents the next snap. This prevents a team from challenging the previous play if it commits a pre‐snap foul.
4. Dead Ball Personal Fouls: Dead ball personal fouls by either team at the end of a half will now be enforced on the ensuing kickoff of the third quarter, eliminating the extension of a half after a five‐ or 15‐yard penalty enforcement that includes a dead ball personal foul against the defense. This ensures consistent enforcement for all dead‐ball personal fouls on both the offense and defense in these situations.
5. Playing Field Color: Absent prior approval from NFL, the surface of the entire field must be a league‐approved shade of green, preserving the uniform appearance of all NFL games.
* Please note on Wednesdays, media parking for the
Timex Performance Center has been moved to lot I. Lot I
is where the media parked for training camp. The
entrance is just past the guard booth entrance to the
Timex Performance Center grounds. Lot I will open on
Wednesday at 10am and will remain open until the last
car leaves. Parking for media on every day except
Wednesday will remain in the main lot.

Tom Coughlin NFL Record: 142‐115 (Overall)
NFL Head Coach: 16th year
College: Syracuse
Long regarded as one of the NFL’s premier head
coaches, Tom Coughlin is one of the most successful in the
86‐year history of the New York Football Giants. He
reached the pinnacle of his profession during the 2007
season when he led the Giants to victory in Super Bowl
XLII. The Giants, big underdogs entering the game, scored
two fourth quarter touchdowns to defeat the previously
undefeated New England Patriots 17‐14.
Last year, the Giants were 10‐6, following marks of 8‐8,
12‐4, 10‐6, 8‐8, and 11‐5 the previous five seasons. Their
six‐year streak without a losing record is the Giants’ longest
since they had 10 in a row from 1954‐63. In 2008, Coughlin
led the Giants to the NFC East championship and their 12
victories were their highest total since the 2000 NFC
champions won 12 games. The division title was the Giants’
seventh since the 1970 merger. It was the eighth time in
franchise history and the sixth time since the 1970 merger
that the Giants finished a season with at least 12 victories.
The Giants advanced to postseason play for the fourth
consecutive season, the first time they accomplished that
feat in their history.
Coughlin also led the Jacksonville Jaguars to four
consecutive postseason berths (1996‐99) and is one of only
three coaches in NFL history to accomplish that feat with
two different teams.
Under Coughlin, the Giants routinely establish
franchise statistical milestones. In 2009, the Giants scored
402 points after scoring 425 in 2008. It was the first time in
franchise history that the Giants scored at least 400 points
in consecutive seasons.
From Sept. 20 to Oct. 4 of 2009, the Giants won
consecutive road games in Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Kansas
City.
Andy Reid NFL Record: 129‐83‐1 (Overall)
NFL Head Coach: 13th year
College: BYU
Reid has earned NFL coach of the year honors twice,
compiled the best win total (129), winning percentage (.606)
and playoff victory total (10) in Eagles history. He has
captured six division titles and five trips to the NFC
Championship game. Since he was hired in 1999, no other
franchise has earned more divisional playoff round
appearances (seven) or conference championships
appearances (five) than Philadelphia.
Reid is one of 11 coaches in NFL history to win 60
per cent or more of 200‐plus games. In his 19‐year NFL
coaching career, Reid’s teams have made the playoffs 15
times (19‐14 postseason record). He has coached in the Super
Bowl three times, the NFC Championship game nine times,
and the Pro Bowl five times. Reid became the twentieth head
coach in franchise history on Jan. 11, 1999, and was
promoted to head coach/executive vice president of football
operations in 2001.
He was named NFL coach of the year in 2000 and
2002. He joined the Eagles after a seven year stint as an
assistant coach with Green Bay (1992‐98) under Mike
Holmgren. With Green Bay, Reid helped the Packers earn a
Super Bowl XXXI victory over New England.

WEEK 2: GIANTS 28, RAMS 16
September 19, 2011
By Michael Eisen
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants’ first home Monday
night game in eight years was one to celebrate.
Opportunistic on both offense and defense, the Giants
took charge with two second quarter touchdowns and
earned a 28‐16 victory over the St. Louis Rams in MetLife
Stadium that raised their record to 1‐1.
“The importance (of the victory) is obviously watching
everybody else (in the NFC East) play this weekend,”
Coach Tom Coughlin said. “To be 1‐1, to have Dallas 1‐1,
to have Philadelphia 1‐1, to have Washington in the lead
at 2‐0, it was important for us to keep the pace.”
“We started out 0‐1 and we definitely didn’t want to go 0‐
2,” said defensive end Justin Tuck, who missed the loss
last week in Washington with an injury. “Tonight’s win
was important.”
Eli Manning threw touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks
and Domenik Hixon, Brandon Jacobs rushed for a score
and Michael Boley picked up a fumble and returned it 65
yards for another touchdown.
This was the first time the Giants hosted a Monday night
game since Sept. 15, 2003, when they lost to the Dallas
Cowboys in overtime, 35‐32. It was their first home
Monday night victory since Oct. 18, 1999, when they beat
Dallas, 13‐10.
St. Louis, which fell to 0‐2, scored on a touchdown pass
from Sam Bradford to Danario Alexander and three Josh
Brown field goals. The Rams traveled inside the Giants’
20‐yard line four times, but settled for field goals on three
occasions.
“One of our themes this week was red zone defense,”
Boley said. “We didn’t do a good job of that last week. So
coming into this week that was a big focus for us to get
that corrected. We did a lot better job down there. “
Alexander’s 19‐yard touchdown catch pulled the Rams to
within 28‐16 with 1:18 remaining in the third quarter. On
third‐and‐10, Alexander got behind cornerback Michael
Coe, who was playing in place of Aaron Ross, and jumped
high to catch Bradford’s pass on the left side of the end
zone.
The score capped a 13‐play, 72‐yard drive that included
Bradford passes to Mike Sims‐Walker of 15 yards on
third‐and‐seven and 11 yards on fourth‐and six. The
second of those receptions gave the Rams a first down at
the Giants’ 19. Bradford unsuccessfully threw twice to
Alexander before the duo hooked up for the touchdown
on the third try.
Jacobs’ nine‐yard touchdown run had increased the
Giants’ lead to 28‐9 with 6:19 remaining in the quarter.
On first‐and‐goal, Jacobs took a handoff and chugged
through the left side for the 50th rushing touchdown of
his career.
The Giants drove 81 yards in 10 plays and were aided by
a 15‐yard facemask penalty on Ben Leber and a 17‐yard
pass interference penalty on Justin King.
Facing a third‐and‐18 on the St. Louis 32, Manning flipped
a screen pass to Ahmad Bradshaw, who zipped through
the defense for a 23‐yard gain. Jacobs scored on the next
play.
“I turned around and I had a lot of blockers in front of me
on the screen,” Bradshaw said. “I think they just opened
up. Everybody blocked everything up and I was patient
about it. (David) Baas made a great block and I was able
shoot through.”
The Giants surrendered 232 yards but no touchdowns in a
first half that ended with them holding a 21‐6 lead.

Hixon’s acrobatic 22‐yard touchdown reception with only
21 seconds remaining in the second quarter increased
their lead to 15 points. On first down, Hixon ran down the
center of the field, shadowed by safety Craig Dahl, a
former Giant. Manning lofted a pass that caromed into
the air. Hixon, unable to free his left arm, juggled and
then secured the ball with his right arm as he fell to the
ground in the end zone. After waiting to ensure that
Hixon maintained possession, the officials signaled
touchdown.
The touchdown was Hixon’s first since Dec. 13, 2009,
when he scored on a 61‐yard Manning pass against
Philadelphia. Hixon missed the entire 2010 season after
undergoing knee surgery.
“Great reception and great concentration by him,”
Manning said. “We had a in and pump route on and the
safety bit on the in, but we hit him a little bit on the end.
Those are throws that you don’t make all the time but it
was a great catch by him. It was great concentration and
a great catch at that moment.”
“It felt awesome,” Hixon said of the score. “It’s something
that we have been working on all week. Coach (Kevin)
Gilbride (the offensive coordinator) and I went into a lot
more detail and he felt it would be a really good play
against them. We went out and Eli threw a good ball and
we executed. I saw the ball the whole time and it never
works out the way you practice. It ended being on the
back shoulder and I just reached back and tried to make a
play on it.”
The score concluded an 86‐yard drive that was completed
in eight plays and 2:37. Manning’s seven‐yard pass to
Hixon enabled the Giants to convert a third down for the
first time in the game. On the next play, Manning threw a
31‐yard pass to Mario Manningham, who stumbled as he
gained control of the ball or he might have scored. The
point became moot when, on the first snap after a Giants
timeout, Hixon secured the ball in the end zone.
“The drive before the half, obviously, was critical,”
Coughlin said.
“That was a big drive,” Manning said. “We really hadn’t
got much of a rhythm and we only had one good drive
during the game. All of a sudden we hit a couple plays,
although it didn’t start well with (a) holding call, but we
overcame that. They had some penalties and we hit
Manningham on the sidelines for a big chunk of change
and that got us into scoring position and then Hixon with
a good catch hanging with that ball. That was a big
momentum changer right there and extended the lead
and getting a touchdown in that situation.”
Boley’s 65‐yard fumble return increased the Giants’ lead
to 14‐6 with 10:58 remaining in the second quarter.
The Rams faced a third‐and‐eight from the Giants’ 25‐
yard line when Bradford threw a quick pass to the left for
Cadillac Williams, who couldn’t catch it and made no
attempt to go after the ball, thinking it was an
incompletion. But Boley alertly realized it was not a pass
but a lateral, because the ball landed behind the line of
scrimmage. He scooped it up and sprinted down the right
sideline, escorted by rookie linebacker Jacquian Williams.
“I wasn’t thinking it was a lateral at first,” Boley said. “But
one of the things we talk about in practice is whenever
the ball hits the turf is to pick it up and leave no doubt
and always scoop and score. Right before I picked it up I
didn’t hear a whistle so I am just thinking score.”
“Boley’s play is tremendous,” Tuck said. “I’ve seen that
same thing happen a lot of times where guys just leave
the ball there and think it’s an incomplete pass. I think
that happened last year, or two years ago. We weren’t
prepared that game. That could have been another pitch
away from a game‐changing situation. Tonight, Boley saw
it. He always prides himself on how fast he is; he got a
chance to show it off tonight.”
Boley’s score was the Giants’ first defensive touchdown
since Dec. 21, 2009, when Terrell Thomas returned an
interception 14 yards for a score. It was the Giants’ first
touchdown on a fumble return since Sept. 13, 2009, when
Osi Umenyoira brought one back 37 yards against San
Francisco.

The Giants led at the end of the first quarter, 7‐6, thanks
to a Nicks touchdown that was bookended by two Brown
field goals.
Brown opened the scoring with a 21‐yard field goal at the
end of St. Louis’ first possession following an interception
of a Manning pass. The three‐pointer was a triumph for
the Giants’ defense, which kept the Rams out of the end
zone after the visitors had a first down at the one.
Bradford threw a pair of incompletions and Williams lost
a yard running to the left side.
The Giants punted the ball on their next possession, bur
rookie returner Greg Salas muffed the ball, which was
pushed forward by Tyler Sash and recovered at the Rams’
38 by Dave Tollefson.
Coughlin elected to go for a first down on fourth‐and‐four
from the 32. Manning threw to the left side for Nicks,
who drew a 23‐yard pass interference penalty on Bradley
Fletcher, giving the Giants a first down at the nine. Jacobs
gained six yards up the middle before Manning fired a
pass to the left side of the end zone that Nicks caught for
the Giants’ first aerial touchdown of the season.
St. Louis responded with a 67‐yard drive that ended with
Brown’s 25‐yard field goal.

WEEK 1: REDSKINS 28, GIANTS 14September 11, 2011
By Michael Eisen
LANDOVER, Md. – The curtain went up on the Giants’ 2011
season Sunday and the performance was not close to the
standard they set for themselves.
They wasted two leads, were shutout in the second half,
converted only one third‐down opportunity, made costly
mistakes in all three phases and, most importantly, lost to the
Washington Redskins in FedExField, 28‐14, their first opening‐
day defeat since 2007.
The loss ended the Giants’ six‐game winning streak against the
Redskins and their five‐game streak in Washington.
Afterward, some of the harshest reviews were delivered in the
Giants’ locker room. For many, the disappointment was
exasperated by playing poorly on the 10th anniversary of the
9/11 terrorist attacks, which were remembered in a poignant
pregame ceremony.
“We don’t live in a bubble as professional athletes,” defensive
tackle Chris Canty said. “We’re affected by what happens. What
9/11 means to us, what it means to our fans, what it means to
our city, what it means to this country – we represent the red,
white and blue. And to go out there and put on that kind of
performance is just unacceptable for us. It’s unacceptable in
every regard.
“We have to have more purpose than we showed on game day,
we have to have more purpose than we showed in practice.
That’s what it’s going to take because obviously we didn’t get
the job done today.”
“We shot ourselves in the foot,” tackle Kareem McKenzie said.
“They made the plays and we didn’t. We made too many
mistakes. The number of penalties we committed (eight) is
uncharacteristic of this team based on what we’ve done in the
past against the Redskins. We didn’t have a good day on the
offensive side of the ball. We have to play better.”
Tom Coughlin will certainly do all he can this week to ensure
that happens.
“It’s our first game, I liked their effort,” he said. “I had no
problem with that at all. But the execution, particularly the
offensive execution, and the ability to defend the pass off of play
action was disappointing.”
The Giants played without Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck
(neck), who arrived at the stadium hoping to play but was
declared inactive after being examined by team doctors. He
joined defensive starters Osi Umenyiora, Jonathan Goff and
Terrell Thomas, who are all sidelined with knee injuries. Goff and
Thomas are on injured reserve and will miss the season.
“We won’t make any excuses about that,” Coughlin said. “We
came down here, we were very well prepared and our guys were
excited about playing. We knew the significance of the day and
we wanted to pay our respects by the way in which we played. As
I said, other than a couple of things that took place in the first
half, it was highly competitive. We did not play the same way in
the second half, obviously. Offensively we didn’t do a thing – we
didn’t score a point. That was very disappointing.”
Tuck hopes to play next Monday in the home opener vs. St. Louis.
“The plan is to wait one more week,” said Tuck. “I wanted to play
this week. I’m still not 100 percent, but I wanted to give it a go.
The doctor said, ‘We would rather have you out one week than
re‐aggravating it and going through this process again and be out
for a month.’ It was a precautionary thing.”
The Giants were also without tight end Travis Beckum, whose
hamstring became tight late in the week.
“He’s our third down tight end,” Coughlin said. “He’s the guy that
took all of the snaps for the whole week. That was part of the
confusion with the two‐minute drill at the end of the game (which
included a delay of game penalty). We had a tight end in there
who hadn’t really had much work, trying to do the best he could
and the execution wasn’t what it should have been.”
Tim Hightower rushed for one touchdown, Rex Grossman threw
scoring passes to Anthony Armstrong and Jabar Gaffney and Ryan
Kerrigan returned an interception for Washington’s touchdowns.
Eli Manning and Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for touchdowns for the
Giants in the first half. But Manning threw the pick that turned
into the game‐winning touchdown, a Lawrence Tynes field goal
37 Timex Performance Center • 1925 Giants Drive • East Rutherford, NJ • 07073 (201) 935-8111 • Giants.com
attempt was blocked, Antrel Rolle committed a penalty that
aided the Redskins, the Giants rushed for only 75 yards – 62
yards less than their 2010 average – and succeeded on one of
10 third‐down chances.
“Our third downs were atrocious again,” Coughlin said. “I think
our inconsistency and our lack of third down production ‐
you’re not going to keep the ball if you can’t do something with
it on third down.”
The game turned permanently in the Redskins’ favor on the
third play of the second half. The teams were tied at halftime,
14‐14, and the Giants received the second‐half kickoff. On third‐
and‐10 from the 18, Eli Manning threw a short pass to his right
for Hakeem Nicks. But Kerrigan, the outside linebacker who was
Washington’s first‐round draft choice this year, jumped up as
McKenzie attempted to cut‐block him, batted the ball, caught it
and quickly covered the nine yards in front of him to the end
zone to give the Redskins a 21‐14 lead.
“He just did a good job and a good move to avoid the cut – to
jump up and tip it up,” Manning said. “It was a good play by him
– not a whole lot I can do about that.”
“It was (a) blitz,” Nicks said. “We audibled to a little screen pass
and the defensive end jumped up and made a good play on the
ball.”
The Giants had a great opportunity in the fourth quarter, after
Jason Pierre‐Paul’s second sack forced a fumble by Grossman
that was recovered and returned 13 yards to the Redskins’ 27
by Michael Boley. The momentum quickly stalled when
Bradshaw lost two yards on third‐and‐one. Tynes came on to try
a 38‐yard field goal attempt, but it was blocked by Brian
Orakpo.
“I felt like I hit it like I hit all of my kicks,” Tynes said. “They are
not always going to be real high. Steve (Weatherford, his
holder) said I hit it good and that it sounded good to him. We
will look at film tomorrow. Anyway you look at it, it is a miss.”
“There was penetration on the left side and the ball was not
elevated very well,” Coughlin said. “It takes little then to block
it, but that can’t be an issue. Obviously, Lawrence has been out
of action for awhile and we need to work on that. But that
can’t be a problem. We just won’t let that be a problem.”
he’s got to go through in terms of the rehab, we feel real bad for Clint.” Sintim, near tears, spoke briefly with reporters in the Giants locker
Washington took possession on its 30. On third‐and‐nine from the
45, Grossman threw to Fred Davis for seven yards. The Redskins
would have punted, but Rolle hit Davis while the tight end was on
the ground and was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary
roughness. That gave Washington a first down at the Giants’ 33.
Six plays later, Grossman threw a four‐yard touchdown pass to
Gaffney that essentially clinched the game with 5:04 remaining.
“You’re not supposed to go helmet‐to‐helmet as a defender,”
Coughlin said. “It looked like he was trying to cover the guy up. I
don’t know that there was any intent there. I was very surprised
when the penalty was called. Of course, it was way across the
field.”
“I don’t think I lowered my head at all, but the call was made and
you have to get up and play again,” Rolle said. “Next time, we
have to take him down before he gets there and it won’t happen.
I don’t think it was helmet‐to‐helmet. We definitely made contact
with him after the initial hit. I definitely didn’t lead with my
helmet. I have never led with my helmet on any tackle and to say
that is crazy. There is nothing I can do about it. The call was
made.”
Grossman’s six‐yard touchdown pass to Armstrong with only 37
seconds remaining in the second quarter created a 14‐14 tie.
On second‐and‐one, Armstrong lined up alone on the left side, got
a step on cornerback Aaron Ross and caught the ball in the end
zone just before he stepped out of bounds. The Redskins traveled
80 yards in only five plays, all of them Grossman completions to
different receivers. The longest was a 39‐yarder to Gaffney, who
slipped past Ross and was tackled by Deon Grant.
That moved the ball to the Giants’ 15‐yard line. After Grossman
hit Hightower for a nine‐yard gain, Armstrong scored the
touchdown.
Bradshaw’s touchdown – also a six‐yarder – gave the Giants a 14‐
7 lead with 2:48 remaining in the quarter. On first and goal from
the six, Bradshaw took a handoff and ran to the right side, where
he found daylight thanks to rookie fullback Henry Hynoski’s block
on Kerrigan.
The score concluded an eight‐play, 85‐yard drive that began with Manning’s 24‐yard pass to Mario Manningham. Manning and Manningham later hooked up for an 11‐yard completion, plus a 17‐yarder to Nicks and Brandon Jacobs ran for 14 yards on the
38 Timex Performance Center • 1925 Giants Drive • East Rutherford, NJ • 07073 (201) 935-8111 • Giants.com
play immediately preceding the touchdown.
Hightower’s one‐yard touchdown run early in the second
quarter tied the score at 7‐7. Grossman’s 18‐yard pass to
Armstrong gave Washington a first‐and‐goal at the one. On
the next play, Hightower ran wide to his left and beat the
closest Giants defenders to the goal line.
The Giants scored the only points of the first quarter on
Manning’s two‐yard touchdown run. The score was set up by
Nick’s 68‐yard catch‐and‐run. Nicks got behind Kevin Barnes,
caught the ball on the Redskins’ 25 and wasn’t brought down
until he was at the two. The 68‐yarder tied fpr the longest
reception of Nicks’ career. He also had a 68‐yard reception on
Dec. 13, 2009 vs. Philadelphia.
On the next play, Manning scrambled to his right and
stepped into the right front corner of the end zone for the
Giants’ first score of the season. It was the fourth rushing
touchdown of Manning’s career and his first since Sept. 4,
2008, also in a season opener vs. Washington.
No one even mentioned that in the postgame locker room
because of the disappointments that followed.
“We have to do our part,” Manning said. “We have to
keep the ball longer and help out our defense. We’ve got
to win the time of possession and sustain drives. We have
to find a way to put more points on the board.”
The sooner the better.

The 49 opening day victories are the third‐most in NFL
history. Chicago and Green Bay are tied for first with 52.
*Tom Coughlin is 10‐6 on Kickoff Weekend, including 4‐4
with the Giants.
*The loss ended the Giants’ six‐game winning streak vs.
the Redskins and their five‐game winning streak in
FedExField, where they are 8‐6‐1.
*The score was tied at halftime, 14‐14, but the Giants did
not score in the second half. It was the Giants’ first
deadlock at the half since Sept. 26, 2010, when they were
even with Tennessee, 10‐10. The Giants did not score in
the second half of that game and lost, 29‐10. Dating back
to 2007, the Giants have lost their last three regular
season games in which they were tied at halftime. They
last won a regular season game in which they were
deadlocked at the half on Dec. 11, 2005, when a 17‐17 tie
in Philadelphia became a 26‐23 overtime victory. The
Giants were tied at the half, 14‐14, with Dallas in the NFC
Divisional Playoff Game on Jan. 13, 2008 and won, 21‐17.
*The Giants’ scoreless second half was their first since
that Tennessee game last September.
*The Giants held Washington to 72 rushing yards on 25
carries, a 2.8‐yard average. In the teams’ last three
meetings, Washington has run for 74, 67 and 72 yards.
*Seven Giants rookies made their NFL debuts: linebackers Greg Jones, Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger and Jacquian Williams, safety Tyler Sash, fullback Henry Hynoski, and defensive end Justin Trattou. An eighth rookie, running back Da’Rel Scott, was in uniform but did not play. The eight rookies is the most the Giants have suited up for an opening day game since 2007, when they also dressed eight – Aaron Ross, Steve Smith, Jay Alford, Zak DeOssie, Kevin Boss, Michael Johnson, Ahmad Bradshaw and Michael Matthews. Ironically, Matthews, the lone free agent in the group, was the only rookie to start the game. *Jones was the only rookie to start against the Redskins. He had four solo tackles, including one on the game’s first play. Sash had two tackles (one solo) and Trattou had an assisted tackle. Hynoski delivered a key block on Ahmad Bradshaw’s touchdown run and caught a four‐yard pass. *Jones was the first Giants rookie linebacker to start on
opening day since Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor in 1981,
the first defensive rookie to start an opener since tackle
Barry Cofield in 2006 (Cofield now plays for the Redskins)
and the first to start since Matthews, a tight end, four
years ago.
*In addition to Jones, defensive linemen Jason Pierre‐
Paul, Dave Tollefson and Linval Joseph and tight end Jake
Ballard made their NFL starting debuts.
Pierre‐Paul had six tackles (five solo), two sacks of Rex
Grossman for 26 yards, including one on which he forced
Grossman to fumble. The ball was recovered by Michael
Boley. Tollefson had two tackles, including a 16‐yard sack,
and Joseph had three tackles (one solo). Pierre‐Paul and
Tollefson had sacks on consecutive plays late in the third
quarter.

Ballard caught two passes for 59 yards, including a 41‐
yarder. His first career catch was an 18‐yarder late in the
first quarter.
*Eli Manning started is 104th consecutive regular season
game. Because his brother Peyton of the Indianapolis
Colts is out indefinitely and missed the opener against
Houston, Manning has the longest active streak among
NFL quarterbacks. Peyton Manning had started 208
games in a row. San Diego’s Philip Rivers is closest to
Manning with 81 consecutive starts.
*Manning completed 18 of 32 passes for 268 yards, no
touchdowns and one interception that was returned for a
touchdown by rookie Ryan Kerrigan. It was the first
touchdown on an interception return by a Giants
opponent since Nov. 14, 2010, when Dallas’ Bryan
McCann brought one back 101 yards.
*Manning scored the Giants’ first touchdown on a two‐
yard run. It was the fourth rushing touchdown of his
career and the first since a one‐yarder on Sept. 4, 2008,
also in a season‐opening game vs. the Redskins.
*Hakeem Nicks caught a game‐high seven passes for 122
yards, his seventh career 100‐yard game.
*Nicks tied his career long with a 68‐yard reception to set
up the Giants’ first touchdown in the opening quarter. He
also had a 68‐yard catch vs. Philadelphia on Dec. 13,
2009.
*The Giants rushed for 75 yards, their lowest total since
they ran for 61 yards last Nov. 21 at Philadelphia.
*The Giants converted just one of their 10 third‐down
opportunities, their lowest number of conversions in a
game since Dec. 28, 2008 at Minnesota, where they were
one‐for‐eight.
*Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 44 yards to increase his
career total to 2,602. That moved him past Bobby
Carpenter (2,572) and into 11th place on the Giants’
career list.
WEEK 1: REDSKINS 28, GIANTS 14
NOTES, ANCEDOTES, AND STATISTICS
*Bradshaw’s second‐quarter touchdown run was the 18th
rushing score of his career, tying Joe Morrison for 12th on
the franchise’s all‐time list.
*Grossman completed 21 of 34 passes for 305 yards, two
touchdowns and no interceptions. It was the third game
in a row dating back to last season that the opposing
quarterback has thrown for more than 300 yards vs. the
Giants. Grossman passed for 336 yards in the Giants’
victory in last season’s finale and Green Bay’s Aaron
Rodgers threw for 404 yards the week before that.
*Fred Davis of the Redskins caught five passes for 105
yards to become the first opposing tight end with at least
100 yards since Dallas Jason Witten (14 catches for 156
yards) on Dec. 6, 2009.
*Domenik Hixon played his first game since 2009 and
returned two punts for 27 yards and caught two passes
for 21 yards.
*Chris Canty sacked Grossman for a five‐yard loss, his first
sack since Oct. 3, 2010 against Chicago’s Jay Cutler.
*Lawrence Tynes’ 38‐yard field goal attempt in the
fourth quarter was blocked by Brian Orakpo. It was the
first time a Giants’ field goal attempt was blocked since
Dec. 7, 2008, when Philadelphia’s Trent Cole knocked
down John Carney’s 47‐yard try.
*Tom Coughlin won a replay challenge in the third
quarter. Grossman threw a pass on the right sideline to
Jabar Gaffney that was ruled a 12‐yard completion and a
first down. Coughlin challenged the ruling, saying Gaffney
was out of bounds. After review, referee Ron Winter said
Gaffney did not have two feet inbounds with possession
of the ball and reversed the call.
Coughlin is 31‐32 with the Giants and 41‐41 in his career
on replay challenges.
*This was the Giants’ first season opener in Washington
since 1989, when they defeated the Redskins, 26‐24, on
Raul Allegre’s 52‐yard field goal as time expired.
41 Timex Performance Center • 1925 Giants Drive • East Rutherford, NJ • 07073 (201) 935-8111 • Giants.com
*The Giants have faced the Redskins 157 times in the
regular season since their first game in 1932, making this
their most frequently‐contested rivalry. They lead the
series, 91‐62‐4.
*The Giants’ inactive players included both of their
starting defensive ends, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora,
who each had 11.5 sacks last season.
Tuck suffered a stinger in a preseason game on Aug. 29
and was limited in the two practices in which he
participated last week. Umenyiora is still rehabbing after
undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery on Aug. 19.
Tuck’s absence ended a streak of 64 consecutive regular
season games played. He was not in uniform for the first
time since 2006, when he sat out the last 10 games after
undergoing foot surgery. He last did not start a game on
Sept. 27, 2009 at Tampa Bay, a week after hurting his
shoulder in Dallas. Tuck played that game as a reserve
and started every game for the rest of the season.
Because middle linebacker Jonathan Goff and cornerback
Terrell Thomas are on injured reserve with torn ACLs, the
Giants played without four projected defensive starters.
WEEK 1: REDSKINS 28, GIANTS 14
NOTES, ANCEDOTES, AND STATISTICS
Tuck is the Giants’ defensive captain, so Canty took his
place at midfield for the coin toss.
Tollefson and Pierre‐Paul were the starting defensive
ends, with the rookie Trattou making his NFL debut in
reserve. Trattou was signed to the active roster from the
practice squad Saturday.
The Giants’ other inactive players are tight end Travis Beckum, wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan, cornerback Prince Amukamara and offensive linemen Mitch Petrus and James Brewer. *To honor the memory of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks 10 years ago Sunday, the Giants’ players, coaches
and sideline personnel wore NYPD, FDNY and Port
Authority Police caps. Coughlin wore a Port Authority hat
in the first quarter, an NYPD hat in the second quarter
and an FDNY hat for the second half. Former Secretary of
State Colin Powell participated in the pregame coin toss.
