Scottish kicker Lawrence Tynes was left on the sidelines again as New York Giants beat Washington Redskins 23-7 in the NFL.

Tynes, who signed a long-term deal with the Super Bowl champions earlier this year, has only played once this season.

He suffered a knee injury which required minor surgery in pre-season but, since then, veteran John Carney has held down his place.

Carney kicked three field goals out of three at the weekend and has hardly put a foot wrong.

Coach Tom Coughlin insists he is taking it on a week-to-week basis but only once has he given Tynes the nod over Carney.
