Giants Shut Out Chiefs 17-0

The Giants looked sharp in their pre-season home opener tonight. Eli Manning guided the Giants to two touchdowns in the three series that he was in the game. 6:14 into the first quarter he threw a five yard TD pass to Amani Toomer and he handed off to Brandon Jacobs for 1 yard TD run in the second. That was it for him and for the first unit. The backups took over after that and shut out the Chiefs the rest of the way.

Manning finished up the night going 11-14 for 80 yards with the one TD. He spread the passes around hitting Toomer, Plaxico Burress and Tim Carter with two passes apiece. Tiki Barber caught a pass for nine yards and ran the ball five times for 22 yards.

Most importantly no one was injured and the entire starting offense was on the field for the first time tonight.
