Giants 37, Titans 6

Published

on

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For the New York Giants, it was a much needed end to a seven-game losing streak. For the Tennessee Titans, it was another low point in a season full of them.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught 11 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, while running back Andre Williams rushed 24 times for 131 yards and a score in the Giants’ 36-7 rout of the Titans Sunday at LP Field.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw for 260 yards on 26-of-42 accuracy, although he accounted for Tennessee’s lone touchdown when he was picked off by cornerback Marqueston Huff for a 23-yard score with 8:36 left in the third quarter.

New York (4-9) had not won since its 30-20 victory over Atlanta on Oct. 5, blowing a 21-0 lead last week in a 25-24 loss at Jacksonville. But there was no danger of losing a huge lead in this one against the reeling Titans.

Tennessee (2-11) dropped its seventh straight, not even picking up a first down until the second quarter’s first play. It also saw starting quarterback Zach Mettenberger leave with 10:30 remaining in the game after being sacked for the fifth time and reinjuring the right shoulder that was hurt last week on a J.J. Watt sack in Houston.

Mettenberger completed 14 of 24 passes for 125 yards. The Giants converted one of his sacks into a touchdown with 1:07 left in the first quarter as defensive tackle Markus Kuhn picked up a bouncing ball and rumbled 26 yards for a 17-0 lead.

After place-kicker Josh Brown booted the first of his five field goals from 20 yards out with 7:59 left in the first quarter, Beckham hauled in a 15-yard scoring strike at the 4:41 mark to make it 10-0.

Brown added 19- and 36-yard field goals in the second quarter for a 23-0 halftime lead. Williams tacked on a 50-yard touchdown run with12:06 left in the third quarter, upping the lead to 30-0 as Titan fans booed loudly.

Following Huff’s touchdown, Brown converted a 52-yard field goal with 33 seconds left in the third quarter. Brown capped the scoring with a 42-yard field goal at the 11:22 mark of the fourth quarter.

NOTES: Tennessee WR Kendall Wright (hand) was among the team’s inactives, leaving it with three WRs for the game. Wright was injured in practice Thursday. … New York LB Jacquian Williams (concussion) was one of its six inactives. … Titans RT Michael Oher (toe) was also inactive, as was OLB Kamerion Wimbley (hamstring).
