EAST RUTHERFORD — Eli Manning held the ball and waited. He frantically looked down the field, desperately trying to find an open receiver. But as was the case for most of the afternoon, the New York Giants quarterback, again, found himself in a similar spot: on the ground.
The Redskins defense had seven sacks in Sunday’s 20-13 win over the Giants and the unit carried them to their third straight victory. Washington is now 5-2 and remains in first place in the NFC East.
The final score was closer than most of the game felt.
New York scored its lone touchdown with just 17 seconds left when Manning connected with tight end Evan Engram on a two-yard score.
