Giants' starting offense finally scores a touchdown

For 8 minutes, 9 seconds Saturday night, all was right in the Giants' world.

That was how long the starting offense controlled the ball while driving 85 yards in 14 plays to score its first touchdown of the preseason. The offense ran the ball with authority, handing it off nine times. Eli Manning threw the ball with accuracy, completing all five passes. There even was a one-handed catch by Odell Beckham Jr. that, although he could not put both feet in bounds (it occurred on a free play where the Jets jumped offside), brought the MetLife crowd to its loudest moment of the night.
