CLEVELAND - The sweat was not even dry on the brow of Amani Toomer as a 44-6 demolition of the Seahawks was barely 30 minutes old, but the veteran receiver was already looking ahead.
"This is a good feeling," Toomer exclaimed. "We got a big game next Monday night, everybody's looking forward to that, take our show national."
It was seemingly a strange take for Toomer and the Giants, considering they are the reigning Super Bowl champions and spent much of last winter stunning viewers in the prime-time spotlight. This is a team, though, that remains eager to showcase what it has got, which means there's nothing the Giants would rather do tonight than light up the Browns on Monday Night Football.
"Under the lights," linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "When you were in high school ball you always wanted to play on Friday night lights, kind of like the movie. For us we are excited to go out there on Monday night and again show ESPN and the rest of the nation what the Giants are about."
A look inside the game:

Browns DT Shaun Rogers vs. Giants C Shaun O'Hara: You ever try to move a 350-pound boulder? That's the job awaiting O'Hara, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in Cleveland and obviously wants to come up big against his former team. Big is the operative word for Rogers, who was acquired from the Lions to plug the middle of the defensive line and he has done just that, with two sacks and 18 tackles in the first four games.
"A 400-pound refrigerator," Tom Coughlin said in describing Rogers.
