Eli Manning scored on a
1-yard run and the New York
Giants opened defense of their
Super Bowl championship by
scoring on their first four
possessions in taking a 16-7
lead over Washington after three
quarters in the NFL season
opener Thursday night. Recently
signed 44-year-old John Carney
kicked field goals of 24, 25 and
47 yards for New York. New
Redskins coach Jim Zorn saw his
team stifled until the closing
minutes of the first half. Rock
Cartwright's 50-yard kickoff
return set up a 12-yard
touchdown pass from Jason
Campbell to Santana Moss with 13
seconds to go.
