On Thursday night, the New York Giants (1-2) will probably have a hard time getting much out of their running game when they face the Washington Redskins (1-2), who have one of the better defenses in the league against the run. Last year, the Giants were able to beat the Redskins in both of their matchups.

The Giants were able to pick up their first win of the season on Sunday when they beat the Houston Texans 30-17 at home. They put up 419 yards of offense in the win and forced the Texans into committing three turnovers.

Giants running back Rashad Jennings has been his team's top offensive player so far this season by rushing for 286 yards through the team's first three games with two touchdowns. Tight end Larry Donnell has caught 18 passes for 182 yards and one score.

The Redskins played in a tightly-fought game against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road and ended up losing 37-34. The Redskins had a great offensive game by putting up 511 total yards, but they went three-and-out late in the fourth quarter and the Eagles ran out the clock.

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has been solid through his first two games, completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 677 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception. All-Pro running back Alfred Morris has rushed for 253 yards and two scores on 59 carries, while wide receiver Pierre Garcon has caught 22 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown.
