EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants are off to their best start since 2000, and a late play that was not reviewed in overtime may have helped.
John Carney kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8:39 left in the extra session.

The play that set up the winning kick was a 31-yard pass from Eli Manning to Amani Toomer down the left sideline on a third-and-10 from the Bengals 38.

It was difficult to tell whether Toomer got both feet in bounds. The Giants (3-0) hustled to the line of scrimmage and handed the ball to Derrick Ward for a 3-yard run to the Bengals 4, precluding a video review.
