Giants win season opener 
Posted on June 16, 2009 at 12:10 PM.
The defending Super Bowl champions, New York Giants, began defense of their title with a 24-21 victory over NFC East rival Washington.

The Giants (1-0) rallied from a 21-17 fourth quarter deficit, scoring a touchdown early in the final quarter and then holding on late as the Redskins moved the ball to the Giants' 30-yard-line, but ran out of time.

Brandon Jacobs carried the ball 31 times for 144 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and scored two touchdowns. Eli Manning was 16-of-22 for 175 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Kevin Boss led all Giants receivers with 5 catches for 58 yards.

On defense, Mathias Kiwanuka, filling in for an injured Osi Umeniyora, who's out for 4-6 weeks with a broken leg, had 7 tackles and a sack.

Here's some general stats:

Total offense: Giants 331-315
Rushing: Giants 172-132
Passing: Redskins 183-159
3rd Down Conversions: Giants 4-13 (30%); Redskins 3-9 (33%)
Time of possession: Giants 37:25-22:32
