"Whatever, We Won The Game"

"We did some good stuff too."

That's Rex Grossman in his post game interview after the Redskins pulled out a 23-10 win over the New York Giants Sunday.

After throwing two interceptions early in the game Grossman was his usual 'I can prove I can play QB in the NFL' self, telling reporters, "When things go bad early on, you have 55 minutes to fix the problem."


The Skins, seemingly fixed the problem, with all cylinders working - offense, defense, and special teams.

Despite Grossman's interceptions, the Redskins' defense picked off Manning and the Giants three times, once at the hands of Oshiomogho Atogwe and again by Josh Wilson.

Total possession for Grossman and the Skins' offense was 35 minutes, 'fixing the problem' with twenty to spare.

On his team's performance, Giants' running back Brandon Jacobs said, "I didn't see the passion in us today. We didn't play well. We disappointed each other and our fans, and we've just got to play better. I can't tell you why."

Grossman may have been the star of they day for the home team, finding both an open Santana Moss and Jabar Gaffney (on a third and 14) who each scored touch downs on the day.

"He's just a smart player", said Grossman about Gaffney finding ways to get open, while crediting Jim Haslett and the coaching staff on calling the plays.

Moss said the win was one of the team's better played games.

"The 'swag' that he [Grossman] carried on in the first part of the season, that's what we needed to go out there and do what we do. We needed a guy like that to take advantage of the opportunities that we have and when given, he does that", Moss said.

Grossman threw 15 of 24 for 185 yards.

The Redskins (5-9) aren't going to the playoffs, but Sunday's win definitely put a question mark around the Giants' (7-7) chances of making it there as well.

"I'm very disappointed in how we played today," giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

Sunday's win makes the second over the Giants this season, and their first against the Giants at New York since Week 15 of the 2007 season.

"What if we had played liked this every week?", pondered Skins' TB Barry Cofield.

"If we can build off this, and build into an intense offseason and build as a team, then next season can be a great year."
