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.
