Manning, Hixon lead Giants in mistake-filled win
New York Giants' Domenik Hixon (87) outruns Cleveland Browns' David McMillan, left, and A.J. Davis as he returns a kick for an 82-yard touchdown during the first quarter of a NFL preseason football game Monday night, Aug. 18, 2008, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) _ Eli Manning was in Super Bowl form for the New York Giants and Domenik Hixon was even better.
New York's 37-34 exhibition victory Monday night was made easier by the Cleveland Browns, who had a season's worth of mistakes in little more than a quarter, including 98 penalty yards and a fumble that resulted in a 95-yard TD for the Giants.
That return gave New York a 30-3 lead less than a minute into the second quarter, one that second- and third-stringers barely managed to maintain.
Hixon, starting at wide receiver because Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Steve Smith didn't suit up, caught 11- and 24-yard touchdown passes from Manning in the first quarter. He returned a free kick 82 yards for a touchdown after a series of Cleveland mistakes that included a safety on a punt by Dave Zastudil that he kicked into one of his teammates.
