EAST RUTHERFORD Dalvin Tomlinson Color Rush Jersey , N.J. (AP) —ding receiver Michael Thomas was limited to four catches, the New Orleans Saints won with other options — Alvin Kamara and a defense that didn’t live up to its much-maligned status. Kamara ran for three second-half touchdowns, Wil Lutz matched his career high with four field goals and the Saints’ defense shut down the New York Giants after giving up an early touchdown in a 33-18 win on Sunday.“This was a complete game, everything came together,” said Kamara, who ran for 134 yards and scored on runs of 9, 4 and 49 yards. “Lutz making big kicks, those were as big as anything. The defense came up big, the O-line did a great job. That was the big difference. You know, the running game has been building. I just get behind those big guys and we get some big runs.”The win was the third straight for the Saints (3-1) and it sent the offensively inept Giants to their third loss in four games under new coach Pat Shurmur. New York is averaging just over 20 points — 27 came in the win at Houston — and this was a season low.“It seems like it shouldn’t be this hard but it is,” said New York star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. “We got to come with the energy like our game last week. It’s not one person doing this or one person doing that. It’s got to be everybody. We’ve just got to stick together It’s definitely not the results we want, the outcome. It’s not the way we want to play.”If there was a surprise, it was the Saints’ defense Phil McConkey Color Rush Jersey , which came in ranked 30th in the league. After giving up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Sterling Shepard on the Giants’ opening drive, New Orleans limited New York to a 33-yard field goal by Aldrick Rosas in the third quarter and a late 1-yard TD run by Saquon Barkley , followed by a 2-point conversion pass from Manning to Shepard. The defense allowed only four plays of 20 or more yards after giving up 37 points in an overtime win over Atlanta last weekend.“What pressure would there be on us?” said Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan. “There was no place to go but up. We talked about trying to get better as a defense and we take every game as a challenge.”The Saints certainly met this challenge.The anticipated shootout between the 39-yard old Brees and the 37-year-old Manning never materialized.Brees, who came in needing 418 yards passing to break Peyton Manning’s NFL career mark, finished 18 of 32 for 217 yards. Manning was 31 of 41 for 255 yards as the Giants (1-3) finished with just 299 total yards.“We got off to a good start, had a good drive,” Manning said. “We thought we’re capable of moving the ball and making plays on this team. We just weren’t able to do it. “Lutz connected from 42, 34, 37 and 26 in the first half. Kamara stretched the lead to 19-7 with 9-yard run that capped a nine-play, 69-yard drive on New Orleans’ opening possession of the second half.The 49-yard run capped a 97-yard drive for the Saints after Ted Ginn Jr. bobbled a kickoff following the Barkley score. The Saints had drives of 74 and 80 on the other touchdowns and finished the game with 392 total yards.Rosas closed the gap to 19-10 in the third quarter, but the Saints took control with Kamara’s final two TD runs in the fourth quarter.The Giants had scored on the opening possession with Manning capping a 10-play, 75-yard drive with his short TD pass to Shepard. After that, New York gained 22 yards the rest of the half.TRICK PLAYSSaints coach Sean Payton used backup quarterback Taysom Hill in a number of roles. He completed a 10-yard pass on a fake punt on New Orleans’ second possession. It set up Lutz’s first field goal. He also threw an incompletion on a red zone pass Andrew Adams Color Rush Jersey , had four runs for 28 yards, and returned a kickoff for 16 yards. Coming into the game, he had not thrown a pass and had three rushes for 39 yards.INJURIES:Saints: No injuries were announced.Giants: Beckham finished the first half in the locker room getting an IV. He returned in the second half and finished with seven receptions for 60 yards.UP NEXTSaints: Home against Washington for a Monday night game on Oct. 8.Giants: At Carolina next Sunday. Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are your Tuesday morning headlines.Aldrick Rosas “barely tapped” 51-yarderCould Giants placekicker Aldrick Rosas have made a 62-yard field goal if a leg whip penalty had been called on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday’s final play? We will never know for sure, but Rosas said Monday that he “barely tapped” the 51-yard field goal he made earlier in the game.“I hit it pretty pretty decent for the condition,” Rosas said. “I feel like I barely tapped that one. Just get it up there and just carries, but I definitely had more to give on that one, for sure.”Rosas is now 6-of-7 in his career from beyond 50 yards. This season he is 23-of-24 on field goals after making only 18-of-25 as a rookie in 2017.“I really don’t think about it. People will say good job, I’m just taking it one day at a time, one week at a time. When I get to the end of the season, maybe I can look back and reflect on how things have changed and just look back and learn still,” Rosas said. “I’m still learning. I’m just taking it one week at a time, focusing on the Bears now and focusing on the things I can work on to improving my kickoff and just the operation of the field goals.”Eli Manning: Giants still chasing winsQuarterback Eli Manning said Monday he isn’t concerned about an emotional letdown with the Giants now having no realistic path to the playoffs.“We’ve got a good group of guys. It’s important to guys. We feel like we’re going to keep fighting Wayne Gallman Color Rush Jersey , we’re going to keep preparing, and going out there and still chase that feeling of that locker room after a win,” Manning said. “That’s a good feeling. It makes the week go easier. It makes Mondays feel better. It makes Tuesdays, it makes everything just easier to take when you’re winning football games. So, that’s what we’re chasing.”Around the Inter-GoogleGiants Coach Pat Shurmur Is 'Horrible,' WFAN's Joe And Evan Say | WFAN Sports Radio 66AM 101.9FMWFAN's Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts had some harsh criticism Monday for the Giants -- and especially their head coach, Pat Shurmur -- after their 25-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.Giants' playoff hopes all but dead, but here's scenario where they make it | SNYShurmur deflects Beckham's criticism, but receiver's dissatisfaction could linger | NewsdayDon't be surprised if the controversial wideout's displeasure lingers as the Giants plod on through a lost season.Leonard: Pat Shurmur deserves some blame for Giants' losing ways, but the real problems start at the top - NY Daily NewsGiants GM Dave Gettleman neglected the third wide receiver position this offseason.Olivier Vernon making tough decision easy with his play for Giants?
