Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs each ran for two touchdowns, while the Giants "D" forced six turnovers in a 31-7 thrashing of the Washington Redskins at the New Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday.
The Giants scored touchdowns on their first two possessions and went on to record their fifth straight win over Washington.
The G-men travel to Minnesota next Sunday to take on the Vikings.
With the four touchdowns scored against Washington, an additional $2,400 was raised for the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance and its Healthy U program, bringing the total through Week 13 to over $22,000.
Touchdowns for Families Program:
For every touchdown the New York Giants score, Horizon BCBSNJ will donate $250.00 to the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance. The Alliance will use that money to expand its "Healthy U" initiative, which is the nation's largest after school childhood obesity prevention and education program. New this year, Horizon BCBSNJ invited its Master Broker companies to participate as well, and 12 have generously pledged an additional $25.00 per touchdown to the New Jersey YMCA State Alliance. With the four touchdowns scored this week, the Alliance raised $1,000 through Horizon and $1,400 through its Master Brokers, bringing the total raised through Week 13 to $22,200. Tight End Kevin Boss is the Official Spokesperson for the Touchdowns for Families Program this season.
If the New York Giants make the NFL post season, Horizon BCBSNJ will increase its donation to $500.00 for each touchdown that the Giants score in each playoff game. If the Giants make the championship game Horizon BCBSNJ will increase its donation to $1,000.00 for each touchdown the Giants score.

Through four complete seasons, the Touchdowns for Families program raised $69,000 for charity. You can follow the weekly progress of the Touchdowns for Families program at www.Giants.com/community or on Facebook by searching "Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey."
