The Giants smacked the Skins in T.O.P. by almost an entire quarter: 36 minutes to a measly 24. The offense ran only FOUR plays in the entire first quarter.
That can be attributed to the offense not being able to convert on 3rd down (5 for 12) and the defense not being able to stop NY on 3rd down. The Giants had drives of 7:19 for a FG, 4:58, 3:10 for a TD, 4:30, 4:47 for a FG, and 6:11 for a FG. The Skins managed one drive over 3:32 and that was a five-minute drive to start the second half that ended in a punt. The penalties sure didn't help either.
The Skins have to maintain drives to change field position and keep their defense’s legs fresh. Especially with older and injury-prone players like Daniels, Griff, Big Al, and Rogers.
