So when the Giants had to settle for a field goal that gave them a two-point lead with 1:47 left, the former Patriots running back figured it was unlikely to end well for his new team.

He now is 21 for 21 on field goals this season, four of them from at least 50 yards.
He wound up being correct. Beckham embellished his celebration with a salute at attention to the crowd; the Giants honored the military before the game. Instead, they had to deal with the kind of heartbreak they had dished to New England in their previous three meetings.
Stephen Gostkowski continued to be Mr. Dependable, connecting on a 54-yard field goal in the final seconds of regulation to lead the New England Patriots to a 27-26 victory over the NY Giants on Sunday afternoon. NY took a 26-24 lead on Josh Brown’s 29-yard field goal with less than two minutes to play.
Playing in a “Salute to Service” game Sunday, NY Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made sure to pay his respects to the United States military.
Officials ruled a touchdown, but replay showed Butler batted the ball out of Beckham’s hands before his second foot was on the ground to complete the catch.
After the field goal, the Patriots (9-0) took over at the 20. Even that didn’t come until he’d thrown his first interception, gotten sacked and fumbled.
OAKLAND, Calif. – Adrian Peterson ran for 203 yards and a touchdown in his record-tying sixth career 200-yard game, Cordarrelle Patterson returned a kick 93 yards for a score and Minnesota took over sole possession of first place in the NFC North by beating Oakland.
-TE Rob Gronkowski’s fourth-quarter touchdown reception was his eighth this season and his 61st from quarterback Tom Brady since Gronkowski joined the Patriots in 2010 as a second-round draft pick (42nd overall). “Just get the game over with”. Four of their five losses are by a total of nine points.
“We had a chance to win, you’ve just got to come up with it”, Giants cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie said. Even if he acts like it’s no different than any other game. The Giants had a chance to extend their 23-17 edge in the fourth but came up empty. They called a pass play that was initially called a touchdown but overturned on review.
TAMPA, Fla. – Jameis Winston scored on a 1-yard quarterback keeper with 54 seconds remaining, extending Dallas’ longest losing streak since 1989 to seven games. McBride undercut the route and went down at the 3, giving the Giants the ball and almost the length of the field to go in 6:01 for a victory. And they pinned the Patriots on the very edge of sensible field-goal range.

It should be noted that the Cardinals lost quarterback Carson Palmer before that 2014 game, and his absence led to a few unstable play at quarterback that contributed greatly to their late-season slide. “Had a couple of opportunities and we just didn’t make it”.
