A 32-yard catch-and-run touchdown by Odell Beckham Jr. late in the first half gave the Giants a 14-3 lead over the Browns, but the Browns drove for a field goal and trail at halftime, 14-6.
Beckham was taken to the locker room early in the second quarter after suffering a thumb injury. He was cleared and returned the next time the Giants had the ball.
The Browns got on the board after Giants punt returner Bobby Rainey muffed a punt and Browns rookie linebacker Dominique Alexander recovered it at the Giants’ 30-yard line. The Browns converted a fourth down and got all the way to the 3-yard line before stalling and settling for a field goal.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning has thrown for 149 yards and two touchdowns. His first went to Dwayne Harris.
Giants safety Nat Berhe suffered a concussion and is out for the game.
