Giants…44 Seahawks…6
They improve to 4-0 with easy victory over the Seahawks.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In a nearly flawless performance, Eli Manning passed for two touchdowns, Brandon Jacobs ran for two more and the unbeaten New York Giants scored on their first five possessions in a 44-6 victory that embarrassed the Seattle Seahawks.
The win was the eighth straight for the Giants (4-0) dating to last year’s playoffs, and it gave the Super Bowl champions their best start since 1990, when they posted a 13-3 record and also won the NFL title. The Giants rolled up 523 yards in offense, their most since collecting 524 yards against Green Bay in 2002.
Not only did the Giants win, but they did so with leading receiver Plaxico Burress suspended for a game for missing a team activity.
Quoteworthy: “We have been kind of soft after our bye week, but we knew we had to come out here and play ball.” – Brandon Jacobs, Giants running back
