Coughlin’s challenge for Manning, Beckham and the Giants offense

The longest completion for Eli Manning in the season-opening loss to the Cowboys was only 19 yards and that was the game-ending dump-off to Shane Vereen. Manning actually got credit for a 22-yard pass because Vereen lateralled the ball to Preston Parker, who ran for 3 yards.

The last time Manning did not complete a pass longer than 20 yards in a game was a 20-14 loss to the Eagles on Dec. 7, 2008, the second game without Plaxico Burress after his accidental shooting. The Giants are looking to get the ball down the field, starting Sunday against the Falcons.
