Giants report card

OFFENSE

One rushing TD apiece for Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown but not much doing on the ground, leaving an unusually inaccurate Eli Manning (26-of-40, 337 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) to save the day. Game-winner to Victor Cruz (7 rec., 131 yards) was a beauty, but late interception was a shocker. TE Martellus Bennett (5 rec., 79 yards) was a factor and Hakeem Nicks (5 rec., 53 yards) is getting back into it. C+

DEFENSE

Justin Tuck said he’s got some new gray hair after this. No wonder. There was no stopping rookie Alfred Morris (22 carries, 120 yards) in the first half and Robert Griffin III passed for 258 yards and ran for 89, often operating at a different speed. Two TDs for Santana Moss, who flat-out beat CB Jayron Hosley late. Big INT for Stevie Brown (again) and three forced fumbles (two by Chase Blackburn) saved the day. C

SPECIAL TEAMS

Lawrence Tynes continues to excel. In addition to going 2-for-2 in field goals, he had five touchbacks, which was huge. David Wilson couldn’t find much room to run on kickoff returns but still averaged 26.5 yards. B+

COACHING

Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is going to be glad not to have to deal with RG3 and that dizzying option again, at least not for a few more weeks. Seemed as if at times the play-calling got a bit impatient. Tom Coughlin has to find a way around these slow starts at home. B
