ST. LOUIS - A 97-yard drive put the New York offense in gear. Another stifling effort from a big-play defense led by Justin Tuck made much of the scoring window dressing in the Giants' 12th straight road victory, including their Super Bowl victory last February.

Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes and the Giants sacked Marc Bulger five times while limiting the St. Louis to a fluke TD. The Rams (0-2) came up with another dud in their home opener, which also served as a tribute to late owner Georgia Frontiere.

The Giants (2-0) have not lost a road game since their opener last season.

Tuck's 41-yard interception return in the fourth quarter sealed the win.

NYG-Burress 33 pass from Manning (Carney kick), 6:11.

StL-FG J.Brown 54, 14:13.

NYG-FG Carney 39, 8:14.
