by David ElfinNew York's 31-7 pounding of Washington on Sunday was classic Giants football. Brandon Jacobs, the once and again starter, and fellow running back Ahmad Bradshaw were a four-legged monster, running over and round the hapless Redskins for exactly 200 yards on 33 carries.While Bradshaw was given the bulk of the work as he topped 1,000 yards for the first time, Jacobs, in coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse two months earlier, was the star, rumbling for 103 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries.
"(Brandon) played powerful," said Coughlin, whose team improved to 8-4 and forged another deadlock for the NFC East lead with the Philadelphia Eagles. "He ran though some tackles and we had some nice holes for him. The last (28-yard) touchdown run of his was very good. They had at least nine guys down and we got an outstanding block at the point of attack with the safety penetrating from (fullback) Bear Pascoe and then Brandon made one guy miss and then I think someone hit his legs and he still stayed up."
