Cardinals keep on winning, Giants keep on losing

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Getting off to poor starts caused the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants to miss the playoffs a year ago. Ted Ginn Jr. ran 71 yards on a punt return for a go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown, backup quarterback Drew Stanton was solid starting for an injured Carson Palmer and the Cardinals' defense forced three of New York's four turnovers in a 25-14 win over the bumbling Giants on Sunday. The Cardinals got off to a 3-4 start last season and going 7-2 down the stretch wasn't enough to make the postseason. The Giants rallied from a 10-0 first-half deficit and took a 14-7 lead in the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Manning (26 of 39 passes for 277 yards and two interceptions) to Daniel Fells. Playing for the first time in a regular-season game since 2010, Stanton (14 of 19 for 167) directed three long scoring drives. A fumble on the ensuing kickoff return and two more field goals finished off the Cardinals' win. Three turnovers by the O were the difference in the game, including a fumble by halfback Rashad Jennings at the Cardinals 15 with less than 5 minutes to play and New York down 22-14. Linebacker Jon Beason (toe) and nickel cornerback Walter Thurmond (pectoral) had to leave the game for New York. Ellington had 91 yards on 15 carries and Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 51 yards.
