Eli Manning isn't ready to hear all the accolades the New York Giants might be getting as one of the NFL's top teams at the midway point, no matter how dominating they looked Sunday.
''Don't start thinking we're good right now,'' Manning cautioned.
Manning picked apart Seattle's secondary for 232 yards and three touchdowns and Ahmad Bradshaw added two TDs -- all in the opening half -- and the Giants routed the Seahawks, 41-7, on Sunday.
Coming off its bye, New York (6-2) needed just one half to win its fifth straight, put away any memories of past flubs in Seattle and stake claim at the top of the NFC East.
''Things are going well right now,'' Manning said. ''But we've just got to make sure we stay committed to getting better.''
New York's statement was swift and efficient, not allowing the undermanned Seahawks hope of pulling the upset or letting their notoriously loud home crowd get rocking.
The Giants still had fresh memories of five years ago, when they were penalized 14 times -- including 11 false starts -- in a 24-21, overtime loss. A year later, after the Giants made claims that artificial crowd noise was being piped into the stadium, the Seahawks jumped to a 42-3 lead in another win over New York.
Other than the Giants' first drive, Seattle's fans were left sitting on their hands or booing the home team. The Giants were called for just two false-start penalties and handed Seattle its worst home loss since moving into Qwest Field. It was the Giants' biggest road victory since a 41-7 win at Washington in 1993.
