Found December 18, 2011 on Giants Football Blog:
- Jake Ballard is starting the second half, but Devin Thomas was carted off after what looked like a head or neck injury. - Manning tried to force a pass to Hakeem Nicks in double coverage, but Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall came away with it. The second act has been more of the same so far. - The Giants’ D stepped up and stopped the Redskins from advancing the ball after the Hall interception and return, but Graham Gano hit a 44-yard field goal to extend the lead.
