Cardinals force four turnovers to beat Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ted Ginn Jr. ran 71 yards on a punt return for a go-ahead fourth-quarter touchdown and the Arizona Cardinals beat the error-prone New York Giants 25-14 Sunday despite playing without injured starting quarterback Carson Palmer.

Playing in a regular-season game for the first time since 2010, Drew Stanton led the Cardinals (2-0) on three long scoring drives in helping them win for the ninth time in 11 games.

Jonathan Dwyer scored on a 1-yard run and Chandler Catanzaro kicked four field goals, including one a minute after Ginn's electrifying return on which the speedster bounced off a tackle and was gone.

The Cardinals got the ball back right away after Quintin Demps fumbled on the ensuing kickoff return.

Eli Manning threw two touchdowns for the Giants (0-2), who turned over the ball four times.
