One of the picks of the weekend ahead of kickoff, the New York Giants’ trip to the FedExField to take on the Redskins did not disappoint.

With The Big Blue coming into the game 5-5 and the Skins just one game worse off at 4-6, this was always going to be a pivotal game in the NFC Eastern Division.

With last week being the Giants bye-week, they were fresh coming into the match but got off to a slow start, with Manning’s first two possessions being intercepted. The Skins came into the game off the back of a defeat to the then 9-0 Carolina Panthers – so wanted to hit the ground running in DC.

It’s something they managed, keeping the Giants out in all four quarters, and going in 0-17 up at half-time.

The last time the boys from New York didn’t manage to get on the scoreboard was against the Eagles in October 2014 – at which point, the Giants were 3-3 and their rivals were 5-1. It seriously looked like they’d draw blank again, but for Randle latching on in the end zone in the fourth quarter before a sensational touchdown from none other than Odell Beckham Junior

The defeat means the Giants have lost two games in a row for the first time this season – and find themselves at 5-6; the same ratio as the Redskins.
