NFL game summary for 11/14/1976:
Joe Danelo's 50-yard field goal with 4:32 left put the Giants ahead of the Redskins, and Jim Stienke's end zone interception with 34 seconds remaining sealed New York's first victory over a George Allen-coached team in 15 tries and snapped a nine-game Giants losing streak. Harry Carson recovered a Washington fumble at the Giants' 27-yard line and New York held onto the ball for eight minutes in driving to the Redskins' 33 for Danelo's winning kick, an NFL record-tying eleventh field goal attempt by both teams in the game.
