Story line: With Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor on sidelines as honorary captain, it was appropriate that Giants sacked Eagles without mercy. Osi Umenyiora had team-record 6 sacks and New York set franchise record and tied league mark by sacking Donovan McNabb 12 times. Mathias Kiwanuka added 3 sacks, Justin Tuck 2 and Michael Strahan’s 1 sack gave him 133 1/2 in career — breaking Taylor’s franchise mark.
Stars: Kawika Mitchell returned fumble 17 yards for TD; Eli Manning threw 9-yard TD to Plaxico Burress, a score that was set up by sack.
Extra point: Eagles had 15 penalties for 132 yards, including dreadful illegal forward pass against McNabb with 2:24 to play. It nullified 20-yard TD pass to Reggie Brown and prevented them from closing to 16-10.
