Giants steamroller the Panthers

ROOKIE running back Andre Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start as the New York Giants thrashed the Carolina Panthers 36-7 on Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Giants dominated the first half, scoring on their first four possessions to build a 20-0 lead.

Brown got the start in place of Ahmad Bradshaw, who sat out with a neck injury. Ramses Barden caught nine passes for a career-high 138 yards in his first NFL start in place of Hakeem Nicks.

Two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Eli Manning completed 27 of 35 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.

Manning tossed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett on the game-opening drive and set the tone.

"We talked about getting a fast start, jump out to a lead," Manning said. "Get the ball, go 80 yards for a touchdown, that was a great start.
