NFC East Rivals Clash On Sunday Night Football

Posted by Matt Loede on December 15th, 2007 filed in News

The Giants can clinch a playoff berth this week when they square off with the Redskins at the Meadowlands on Sunday night.  The Giants have won two straight and three-of-four overall to climb to 9-and-4.  New York has split six decisions at home this season.  Last week, the Giants beat the Eagles 16-13 to win consecutive games for the first time since having a six-game win streak snapped in Week 10.  Eli Manning threw for 219 yards and a touchdown in the win.  The 6-and-7 Redskins need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.  Todd Collins came to the rescue in last week’s 24-16 win over the Chicago Bears, throwing for 224 yards and two scores after starter Jason Campbell injured his knee.  It was just the second win in seven games for the ‘Skins.  New York won the first meeting this season 24-17 in Week Three.
