Thursday night football continues this evening with an NFC East matchup between the New York Football Giants and the Washington Redskins. While neither team is hovering around the top of any power rankings, this is an important step into claiming the NFC East title this season. So let's turn to Tecmo Super Bowl to get a glimpse into what we could expect to see tonight.
The Redskins start with the ball and feed running back Alfred Morris. He breaks off a huge gain and sets Washington up in Giants territory. A mistake by Kirk Cousins turns the ball over in the end zone.
Eli Manning quickly finds Victor Cruz all alone to flip the field and get the Giants into the endzone for the first touchdown of the night.
The Giants defense attempts to shut down the Redskins offense with a sack by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
At the end of the first quarter the Giants are on top 7 - 0.
Washington's offense stalls and they are forced to punt.
Wide receiver Preston Parker comes up with a big catch on a well thrown ball from Eli Manning and the Giants are threatening again. The Redskins D holds and the Giants attempt a field goal on 4th and 2.
The kick is good.
On the next drive, the Redskins are able to answer on another great run by Morris.
At the half, the Giants still lead by a score of 10 to 7.
The Giants start with the football in the 3rd quarter. A great run from Rashad Jennings gets the Giants to the 5yd line. Eli Manning makes a bad decision and the Redskins intercept in the endzone.
The Redskins attempt to take the lead on another string drive from Alfred Morris. Then Cousins makes a bad decision himself and tosses an interception in his end zone.
The Giants tight end Larry Donnell catches a ball and is all alone streaking down the field. Touchdown Giants.
At the end of the third, the Giants have extended the lead 17 - 7.
The Redskins need to answer to start the 4th and they go back to the well with Morris.
Instead of attempting an onside kick, the Redskins kick it deep and hope to get a stop from their defense. The Giants however are having no problems getting first downs.
Then Eli decides to step on the throat of the Redskins and tosses a pass to Victor Cruz to put the game out of reach.
The Giants pull out the win.
