EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- All the Washington Redskins needed to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start was a couple of fourth-quarter interceptions by backups and five field goals from a guy who had never made that many in a game.Dustin Hopkins kicked a 37-yard field goal with 1:51 to play and the defending NFC East champion Redskins got a much-needed 29-27 win over the penalty- and error-prone New York Giants (2-1) on Sunday.We needed to get that first win bad, said cornerback Greg Toler, who played most of the game after starter Bashaud Breeland hurt an ankle early. We couldnt lose the first three, and we hung in there and got some real contributions from everybody. You get everyone stepping up. The coaches treat all of us the same, coaches us up whether first- or second- or third- or fourth-string like we are starters.The guys who really stepped up were linebacker Sua Cravens and cornerback Quinton Dunbar.After Hopkins put Washington ahead, the Giants got a first down at their own 39 with 69 seconds to play. On the next play, Manning went over the middle to Shane Vereen and Cravens dived in front of the halfback and picked it off.Earlier in the quarter, Dunbar jumped a seam pattern pass to tight end Will Tye in the end zone and intercepted it, ending a Giants drive at the Washington 15 courtesy of an Odell Beckham catch-and-run. It kept Washington ahead 26-24.Josh Brown would put New York ahead with a 30-yard field goal midway through the quarter, but Washington came back.It was a game marked by Giants mistakes. They turned the ball over three times and had 11 penalties for 128 yards.Any time you lose against any team, no matter where they are at, it is a tough one to swallow, receiver Victor Cruz said. Especially one like this where we had some opportunities to put some points on the board, but you win some and you lose some, you have to learn from the losses and move on.The worst of the Giants penalties was a third-down hit to the helmet by Olivier Vernon that kept the Redskins game-winning drive alive.Everyone loves touchdowns. I love touchdowns, Hopkins said. When they call on me, I do the best I can to put the team in a position to win, whether they send me out there five times or once, its OK.Shane Vereen scored on a 1-yard run, Manning threw a 23-yard TD to Shepard and Orleans Darkwa scored on a 2-yard run for New York.Kirk Cousins threw touchdown passes of 44 yards to DeSean Jackson and 55 to Jamison Crowder as the banged-up Redskins handed new Giants coach Ben McAdoo his first loss.This was an NFC East matchup that see-sawed the entire second half after Washington rallied from a 21-9 deficit.BECKHAM VS. NORMAN: The fourth quarter was wild with the matchup of Beckham and Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, leading to big plays by Beckham, an ejection of Giants center Weston Richburg and a personal foul against Norman for a big hit on Sterling Shepard.We got it in us. We are fighters, fighters to the end. Scrapping. Savagery as they come, Norman said. Real gritty, all the way down to the bone and gristle. Fight, fight, fight.In the end, Washington made the big plays in avoiding the 0-3 start. Only three teams since 1990 have made the playoffs after losing three in row to start the season.INJURIES GALORE: The Redskins lost four players to injuries in the game: C Kory Lichtensteiger (ankle), G Shawn Lauvao (calf), CB Bashaud Breeland (ankle) and S DeAngelo Hall (knee). The Giants had CBs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin) and Eli Apple (hamstring) leave.SPECIAL TEAMS: It was an exciting day for the guys from specials. Crowders 50-yard punt return and a 31-yard fourth-down pass by punter Tress Way to Dunbar set up two of Hopkins field goals. Dunbar, however, muffed a punt that led to Vereens TD early in the game. TheGiants had a blocked punt by Romeo Okwara nullified with just over 11 minutes to play by a personal foul against Andrew Adams, who was added to the roster Saturday.NEAR-COSTLY GAMBLE: The Redskins lost a cheap-shot field goal at the end of the first half when they elected to run a play from the Giants 4 with 6 seconds left. Jason Pierre-Paul had a sack and forced fumble on Cousins and the clock ran out.NUMBERS: Cousins finished 21 of 35 for 296 yards. Manning was 25 of 38 for 350. The Giants gained 457 yards in failing to gain their 700th franchise win. The Redskins gained 403 yards and had the ball for 33:26.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Rickey Henderson Jersey .

BOSTON -- Blood, sweat and tears stained the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon, so the next years running of Americas most famous footrace was understandably all about redemption.Now the rightful winner of the 2014 womens race -- Buzunesh Deba -- is finally getting her due.Race organizers formally declared the 29-year-old Ethiopian the 2014 champion on Monday, two months after Kenyan rival Rita Jeptoo was stripped of the title and banned from international competition for four years for doping.Sweetening the bitterness of her ordeal, Deba also was recognized as the current course record-holder. Her blistering finish of 2 hours, 19 minutes, 59 seconds made it the fastest womens race in Bostons 121-year-old history, besting the previous mark of 2:20:43 set in 2002 by Margaret Okayo of Kenya.I feel great and really happy being named the 2014 Boston Marathon champion, the most prestigious marathon in the world, and I encourage all concerned stakeholders to work on a clean sport, Deba, who lives in New York City with her husband and coach, Worku Beyi, said in a statement.It was a long road to victory for Deba.Her 2014 clocking in Boston was her fastest ever over the 26.2-mile span, and it catapulted her to the top of the sport.But at the time, all the aadulation -- to say nothing of the first-prize winnings -- went to Jeptoo, who was credited with the win in the first edition of the Boston Marathon since two bombs planted at the finish line killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.ddddddddddddThe Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the marathon, says its still working to recover the $150,000 prize and $25,000 course record bonus.Were exploring our legal options and will take whatever steps are reasonable and necessary, BAA spokesman T.K. Skenderian said.In October, the Court of Arbitration for Sport doubled Jeptoos initial ban to four years. The 35-year-old tested positive for EPO in a September 2014 sample given during training for the Chicago Marathon. Shes since been stripped of the 2014 Chicago title as well.Buzunesh Debas sub-2:20 performance in 2014 was a magnificent achievement, BAA chief executive Tom Grilk said Monday. To emerge victorious in the fastest womens race ever run in Boston was remarkable. We look forward to awarding her the praise she rightfully deserves in 2017.Deba hasnt yet said whether shell race Boston next year. ' ' '
