EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Aside from a few superficial touches, it didn't look, sound or feel like home. The New Orleans Saints better get used to it - because this is how it's going to be all season.

The New York Giants, visitors in name and jersey color only, had no complaints. Playing before 68,031 of their fans Monday night in the comfort of their own stadium, the Giants beat the displaced Saints 27-10.

NFL nomads with no stadium after the damage to the Superdome and New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Saints (1-1) were given a home game here by the league.

New Orleans couldn't overcome critical mistakes, committing 11 penalties for 72 yards in the first half alone, including an illegal contact by Sedrick Hodge that negated a third-down sack and set up the Giants' third touchdown. In all, the Saints had six turnovers, 13 penalties for 92 yards and allowed four sacks.

The Giants (2-0) benefited in every way from the NFL's decision, beginning with the opening kickoff. The Saints tried some trickery and it immediately backfired. Michael Lewis handed off the return to Fred McAfee, who fumbled at the 10, with Chase Blackburn recovering. Three plays later, to tumultuous cheers for the ''visitors,'' rookie Brandon Jacobs barely squeezed into the end zone for a 7-0 lead.

The Giants made it 14-0 on Eli Manning's 6-yard touchdown pass to Tiki Barber. The Saints scored on Aaron Brooks' 21-yard pass to Joe Horn, but Hodge's penalty three plays after Carlos Emmons' interception led to Barber's 12-yard run that made it 21-7.

Redskins 14, Cowboys 13

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Mark Brunell hit Santana Moss in stride for touchdown passes of 39 and 70 yards in the final 3:46 to lift Washington past Dallas.

The Redskins won for only the second time in their last 16 games against the longtime NFC East rival Cowboys and for the first time at Texas Stadium since 1995.

The comeback was stunning because Washington hadn't crossed the Dallas 27 until Moss' first TD, which also was the first of the season for the Redskins (2-0). The second one put the Cowboys (1-1) behind for the first time.

Drew Bledsoe threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Terry Glenn early in the second half, and Jose Cortez's 41-yard field goal gave Dallas a 13-0 lead with 5:58 left.

At halftime, the Cowboys inducted Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin into the team's Ring of Honor.
