EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Maybe it's time to start giving the Super Bowl champion New York Giants a little more respect.
Overlooked by the experts heading into the season, the Giants were impressive in a 16-7 win over the Washington Redskins on Thursday night in a game that really wasn't that close.
"Let people doubt us, it doesn't matter," offensive tackle David Diehl said Friday. "It's what you do on Sundays. That's always been the case and last year was not different. People counted us out and said we weren't going to do anything. That's fine. This year we are playing with a chip on our shoulders."
The Giants displayed that chip repeatedly in the nationally televised season opener.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Jason Taylor is leaving the only NFL team he's known, going from the Miami Dolphins to the Washington Redskins in a trade Sunday.
The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010 for Taylor.
The six-time Pro Bowl defensive end — who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year — fell out of favor in Miami after spending his offseason on the TV show "Dancing With the Stars" rather than working out with teammates.
The deal came about nine hours after starting defensive end Phillip Daniels was carted away from the practice field at Redskins Park with a season-ending left knee injury on Day 1 of training camp.
It also came only about 1 1/2 hours after Washington executive vice president Vinny Cerrato told reporters: "We haven't talked to anybody about anything."
Cerrato said Taylor is expected to report to training camp on Monday.
