(AP) The undefeated Washington Redskins didn't let the National Football I League players strike interfere with the about-face that began last season. The Redskins beat the New York Giants 2t-17 Sunday, raising their record to 3-0 this season and giving them six straight victories two years. After a dismal 0-5 start last season, the Redskins won eight of "their last 11 games to finish 8-8. Quarterback Joe Theismann showed the 70,766 fans at Giants Stadium that the Redskins were capable of continuing their winning ways after the eight-week strike, throwing for two touchdowns to put Washington ahead 14-0. Two minutes after Theismann's 39-yard touchdown pass play to Charlie 3rown, John Riggins ran 2 yards for a touchdown, stretching the Redskins' lead to 21-0 and forcing the Giants to scramble to catch up.

Theismann, who completed 16 of 24 passes for 185 yards, said the victory resulted from hard work and many days spent practicing at a neighborhood park during the 57-day layoff. "I'd say the efficiency level we achieved was due in part to us staying together," said Theismann, who also fired a 1-yard scoring pass to OtisWonsley. "We worked out a minimum of three days each week. The last two weeks we played touch football. We have 18 receivers, and 14 to 16 of them were at every workout." Although coaches for both teams predicted the strike would hamper offenses more than defenses, the Giants suffered more from missed tackles than offensive miscues.

On Brown's touchdown, cornerback ferry Jackson missed a hxkle at the 32-yard line and the first-year wide receive from South Carolina State scooted in. "I thought one of the biggest things missed was tackling," Giants Coach Ray Perkus. "Normally speaking, t.e layoff should hurt the offt nse more. From where I sit, it hurt both sides, offense and defense." Joe Danelo's 20-yard field goal cut thr Redskins' lead to 21-3 at halftime, and the Giants got as close as 24-17 early in the fourth period. frt -m, i -V COLTS TAKE BEATING.
