Giants Rattle Raiders

Five touchdowns raise $1,250.00 for the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance

The New York Giants cruised to their fifth straight victory this past Sunday at Giants Stadium with a lopsided 44-7 win over the Oakland Raiders.  The Giants, who scored early and often, pulled Quarterback Eli Manning late in the second quarter to help rest his injured heel.   Even with being taken out of the game, Manning threw two touchdown passes and posted a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3.

The Giants moved their record to a perfect 5-0 and sit alone atop the competitive NFC East.

Each of the following Giants scored touchdowns during the game:

• Ahmad Bradshaw, Running Back - Two touchdowns
• Mario Manningham, Wide Receiver - One touchdown
• Hakeem Nicks, Wide Receiver  - One touchdown
• David Carr, Quarterback - One touchdown.

The Giants are now 4th in the league in scoring, averaging 30.2 points per game and are second in the league in total offense.

Through five weeks of the NFL season, the Touchdowns for Families program has raised $4,000.00 for the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance and the Healthy U program.
