Why to watch
The Giants have faded in December in the past, but now can make a grab at the NFC East title. The Giants will also want to avenge an early-season loss at FedExField in which they let Rex Grossman carve them up.
Inside story
Even without Osi Umenyiora, the Giants can move Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul around the left tackle spot, where Trent Williams is suspended for the remainder of the season. Roy Helu is running hard for the Redskins; Ahmad Bradshaw's return -- and ability to play fully this week -- alters the entire scope of the Giants' offensive attack. Eli Manning is having a season worthy of his big brother.
