Giants defense goes wild in
16-3 smashing of Eagles
In an important NFC East game,
the Giants' defense came out

Donovan McNabb 12 times, six by
Osi Umenyiora, which is a new
Giants' team record. The 12 team

pass from Eli Manning to Plaxico

needed for the win, which
brought them back to .500, and
sent the Eagles to 1-3.
Under pressure all game,
McNabb completed just 15-of-31
passes for 138 yards. The lone
bright spot for the Eagles was

in place of injured Brian
Westbrook, gaining 103 yards on
17 carries...more
