Andre Williams Bulls His Way Into End Zone (Video)
By Phil Watson
The New York Giants got off to a quick start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, getting a 1-yard touchdown burst from Andre Williams.
The New York Giants can finish the season with four straight victories if they can beat the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday and they got on the board quickly in the game.
The Giants took the opening kickoff and went 80-yard in six plays, capped by rookie Andre Williams, who found a crack and bulled into the end zone from a yard out.
New York will miss the playoffs for the third straight season since their surprising Super Bowl run after a 9-7 season in 2011, but have won three straight games following a stretch of seven straight losses that plunged the G-men out of the playoff race.

Late in the first half, the Eagles were leading the Giants 14-13.
