That’s right, no offensive skill player on the 2016 Giants roster, with the exception of Manning exactly two years to the day from this weekend’s game scored on a 1-yard rush, is currently the only Giants player on the roster to score on the run against Washington.
In fact, the Giants last had rushing touchdown in their 2015 regular season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles when Rashad Jennings scored on a second quarter, 2-yard run.
That means the Giants have gone 10 quarters in the regular season without a rushing touchdown.
Something needs to give in that area, and this week would be just as good as any against the 28th ranked rushing defense that has already allowed five rushing touchdowns in two games this season.
Taking the bold prediction just a step further, something tells me that Shane Vereen and not Jennings, the starter, is going to be the one who breaks the streak.
