Eli Manning controlled every facet of the game in a 45-12 victory against the Washington Redskins on Monday night. The dominant version of the Giants showed itself again Monday night, only this time as a desperate team clinging to its playoff hopes. The Giants (8-6) don’t control their destiny, but they moved one game behind Dallas and Green Bay in the race for wild-card spots with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

Eli Manning played seven possessions before taking an early seat in the fourth quarter. New York scored on six of them. He completed 19 of 26 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns. His 26 scoring passes this season are a career high. On their first possession Eli Manning marched 80 yards in 16 plays and took almost 10 minutes off the clock. Meanwhile I will be wearing one of my New York Giants jerseys to support them in making it to the playoffs.
