The New York Giants dominated the Washington Redskins.  With the win they solidified that there may be no team that can stop them.

The Giants are good at everything, and may not even have a weakness.  The amazing thing about how good they are doing is that they are doing this without a lot of superstars.

Right now they do not have a lot of superstars, and are playing with one less thanks to wide receiver Plaxico Burress shooting himself.

The main reason that the Giants are doing what they are doing is that several young players have stepped into fulltime roles, and at the same time have hit their prime.

Defensively, that player is Justin Tuck.  Tuck last year was the third defensive end behind Michael Strahan, and Osi Umeniyora. 

Now he is the starting left defensive end, and has recorded 11.5 sacks in 12 games.

Offensively, that player is wide receiver Steve Smith. 

Smith has recorded 43 receptions for 424 yards receiving, with one touchdown.  His 43 receptions leads the team, and he has for most of the time been the third wide receiver on the team.

The road to clinching the division title will not be easy though.  As they face the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, and then the Minnesota Vikings.

That is a finish to the season, and as good as they are if they suffer a rash of injuries in these upcoming games, then things will drastically change.
