Eli Manning looks on after failing to covert on fourth down against the Washington Redskins on Sunday night.

Manning had hit rookie Kevin Boss with a 19-yard touchdown pass on the previous series and he found Toomer wide open around midfield with a wind-whipped wobbly pass. With no one around him, the Giants’ all-time leading receiver dropped the certain touchdown.

The drive eventually ended with Lawrence Tynes missing a 38-yard field goal and New York never threatened again.

Suisham gave Washington the lead for good late in the first quarter with a 49-yarder with a stiff wind behind his back. He added a 31-yarder through the wind in the second quarter after Collins hit consecutive passes of 36 yards to Santana Moss and 30 yards to Todd Yoder.

A 34-yard sideline route to Moss set up Betts’ touchdown run for a 13-0 lead.

A silly personal foul against LaRon Landry for taunting after a third-down incompletion got New York on the scoreboard with 1:16 left in the half on Tynes’ 35-yard field goal.

Washington came right back with a 28-yard field goal from Suisham on the final play of the half. Portis got the drive going with a 31-yard run and a 15-yard facemask penalty on Sam Madison.

The Redskins, who have blown leads in five of their seven losses, made sure that didn’t happen this time, taking the opening kickoff and scoring on Portis’ run.

Shockey was hurt on the next series when Toomer rolled into the back of his leg at the end of a running play.
