East Rutherford, NJ -- (Sports Network) - Plaxico Burress celebrated his fresh two-year contract extension with 10 catches for 133 yards, and the defending-champion New York Giants opened their title defense with a 16-7 victory over NFC East rival Washington. Burress was Eli Manning's favorite target throughout the night, piling up yards the same day he agreed to a two-year extension through 2012. Manning completed 19-of-35 passes for 216 yards, an interception and a first-quarter touchdown scamper. Brandon Jacobs ran for 116 yards on 21 carries for the Giants (1-0), who started a new campaign without its top two pass rushers from a season ago. Michael Strahan retired to the network television booth and Osi Umenyiora is out for the season with a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. Jason Campbell completed 15-of-27 passes for just 133 yards and a touchdown, while last season's most-worked running back Clinton Ports carried the football 23 times for 84 yards. However, he ran for just 61 yards on 22 carries if his 23-yard run is taken out of the equation. Jim Zorn lost his NFL head coaching debut with the Redskins (0-1), while their leading receiver from a season ago, tight end Chris Cooley, caught just one pass for seven yards. Newly acquired defensive end Jason Taylor also made his Redskins debut, but played gingerly at the outset with a persistent knee injury.
