LANDOVER, Md. -- The Washington Redskins' defense, battered and missing key parts just like the offense, found a way to get mentally healthy if nothing else to play the New York Giants. After facing so many top offenses in the season’s first 10 games, the Giants provided relief.

But the Redskins found a way to force the Giants into even more inept play. And one week after blowing a 15-point lead in New Orleans -- against a far superior offense -- the Redskins responded with a strong showing.

Yes, the Giants rank last in the NFL in scoring so it’s not as if a shootout was anticipated.
