Eli, RGIII to duel on MNF

Contain RGIII

It’s easier said than done, but stopping Robert Griffin III is imperative. The sensational rookie quarterback nearly sunk the Giants in Week 7 on a 30-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss with 1:32 to play. Griffin will almost assuredly get his stats again (20 for 28, 258 passing yards two TDs, nine carries for 89 yards in Week 7), but limiting the big plays will make this matchup less of a nightmare.

Don’t forget Morris

The man Griffin says would get his vote for Rookie of the Year, RB Alfred Morris, has 982 yards — 120 of them against the Giants — on the ground this season to go with six touchdowns. Stopping the run hasn’t always been a strength of the Giants this season, but it will have to be if they’d like to win the crucial time of possession battle tonight.

Air it out

Eli Manning is back on track after throwing three touchdown passes against the Packers, and now he gets to face a Redskins pass defense ranked next to last in the league. As long as he can avoid throwing turnovers (two interceptions in Week 7) he should be in for a monster passing yards tally at the Redskins.
