Giants 24, Redskins 17: Eli Manning threw for 235 yards and a touchdown as visiting New York kept alive its slim playoff hopes and handed Washington its fourth consecutive defeat.

Andre Brown ran for a pair of touchdowns and the Giants (5-7) overcome a 14-point deficit to win for the fifth time in six games and stay within two games of NFC East co-leaders Dallas and Philadelphia. New York's defense clinched the victory when Will Hill ripped the ball out of wide receiver Pierre Garcon's hands with 1:21 to play.

Robert Griffin III slowed down after a nearly flawless first half, finishing 24-of-32 for 207 yards and a touchdown and rushing for a season-high 88 yards while getting sacked five times - four by Justin Tuck. Garcon had nine catches for 61 yards but Alfred Morris was limited to 26 yards and a TD for the Redskins (3-9), who were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.

Washington was forced to punt on four of its first five second-half possessions, getting a go-ahead 33-yard field goal by Kai Forbath following an interception by Brandon Meriweather. A botched snap on a punt put the Giants at Washington's 46-yard line and led to Andre Brown's lunging 1-yard touchdown run for a 21-17 lead with 14:26 to play before Josh Brown's 39-yard field goal made it 24-17 with 2:32 remaining.

Both quarterbacks combined for only three incompletions in 29 attempts in a first half that saw the Redskins bolt to a 14-0 lead on a 1-yard run by Morris and Griffin's 19-yard scoring pass to tight end Logan Paulsen. The Giants responded with Andre Brown's 23-yard TD run and Manning's 22-yard scoring strike to tight end Brandon Myers with 35 seconds left in the half.
