Tom Coughlin is proud his Giants finally ended their painful skid by finishing off a big lead.
Even if their win came at the expense of a Tennessee team with more problems than New York.
Eli Manning threw for 260 yards and a touchdown, and New York snapped a seven-game losing streak by routing the Titans 36-7 Sunday.
"I don't want to use that word relief," Coughlin said. "We work hard for that outcome, and we didn't get it. We finally got a win after many weeks of starving. We feel good about that. We're going to smile a little bit about the win before we get started on Washington. That'll be about 10 minutes from now."
The Giants (4-9) won for the first time since Oct. 5 with two rookies having big games. Odell Beckham Jr. set a team rookie record with his fourth game with 100 yards receiving this season: 11 catches for 130 yards and a TD. Andre Williams ran for a season-high 131 yards, including a 50-yard TD.
Tennessee (2-11) lost its seventh straight and for the 11th time in 12 games with a performance that had fans booing and even a handful wearing paper bags over their heads. This is the franchise's longest slide since losing 11 straight in 1994 as the then-Houston Oilers.
The Giants came in with an NFL-high 19 players on injured reserve but relatively healthy on offense, even with running back Rashad Jennings not starting because of a sore ankle that kept him out of practice. With Manning and Beckham connecting early and often, they helped the Giants dominate with a 402-207 edge in total offense.

Manning was excited they got the win a week after blowing a 21-0 lead in losing to the Jaguars.
"We got off to the fast start which we've been doing the last few weeks, but we came out in the second half and finished the game," Manning said.
