New York struck first with a touchdown on a perfectly executed flea-flicker from Winston to Robinson, establishing an early rhythm for the offense. The Giants added another score via an audacious trick play, as Gunner Olszewski took an end-around handoff and lofted a touchdown pass back to Winston.
