NFL: Eli Manning throws four touchdowns as New York Giants topple Washington Redskins

The New York Giants made the Washington Redskins pay for their errors with a dominant 45-14 victory.

The Giants (2-2) scored 31 points off turnovers, with Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins intercepted four times and losing a fumble once.

Eli Manning, on the other hand, completed 28-of-39 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns – with Larry Donnell collecting three of them.

Second-year tight end Donnell, who registered a solitary touchdown in his rookie season, opened the scoring in the first quarter from a five-yard pass – with Cullen Jenkins having recovered the ball after Cousins was sacked by Mathias Kiwanuka to set up the platform for the Giants.

The 25-year-old Donnell then doubled his tally off a six-yard pass before the Redskins hit back through Andre Roberts after Cousins tossed an 18-yard scoring pass.

Hat-trick

Donnell, who made 54 yards off seven receptions, wrapped up his hat-trick off another six-yard pass, while Josh Brown made it 24-7 at half-time with a 29-yard field goal.

The Redskins gave themselves a chance when Alfred Morris rushed over from 20 yards out.

However the Giants wrapped up the win with three more touchdowns.

Manning’s two-yard pass to Daniel Fells all but ended the Washington fightback, while the Giants quarterback crossed off a one-yard run in the final quarter.

Andre Williams then sealed the win off a one-yard run after Cousins was initially picked off by Antrel Rolle to hand Giants possession.
