Darren Sproles had an 83-yard punt return for a TD. Pro Football Hall of Famer Emlen Tunnell also accomplished the feat in 1951.

“To be honest with you, nobody knows my team better than I know my team”. But it starts with the guys up front.
-Miami DL, which remains the strongest unit on the team, vs. Giants’ offense, which is powered mostly by QB Eli Manning and WR Odell Beckham, Jr.
The Giants are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Monday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 14.
The New York Giants (5-7) travel to play the Miami Dolphins (5-7) looking to snap their three-game losing streak.
“We didn’t get frustrated”. This will be the Dolphins’ league-high 82nd appearance on “Monday Night Football” since the program’s inception in 1970.
Still, count on Miller and the running game being the focal point of the offense against the Giants. The 69-year-old Giants coach was sacked up.
The Giants gained only 74 yards on 24 carries Sunday, but Coughlin said he was happy about the 24 carries, as it showed him they were able to stick with the run even though it wasn’t working.
“I don’t pay any attention”, Coughlin said.
After New York tacked on a field goal, the Cowboys rallied for a 27-26 triumph that set the tone for a lost season. “So it’s always good to see that coming from the head man”. And for the Giants (5-7), they did not get a good performance from Manning. It isn’t! It is just about the losingest division there’s ever been, and right now hosts a three-way tie for first place between the 5-7 New York Giants, 5-7 Philadelphia Eagles, and 5-7 Washington. He responded by doing jumping jacks.
“Jumping jacks for every meeting like that, that’s for sure”, Coughlin said with a grin. “No, it’s exciting. Let’s face it, it is exciting”.
“I’ve said it many times before, we have to take care of our own business”, Coughlin said. Both Campbell and play-caller Zac Taylor emphasized it during the week, and Campbell, who thinks the passing game needs to be more efficient rather than more prominent, made it fairly clear the passing game supplements the running game.

“I’ve said this before”, he said, “not every gameplan is going to be the same, and we’ll look at the Giants this week and we may say, ‘this is not the formula'”. “They’re impressive. They’re very impressive”.
