New York Giants running back Andre Williams (44) attempts to bring down Miami Dolphins running back Damien Williams (34), during the second half of an NFL football game, Monday, Dec. 14, 2015, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
“I’ve been here six years”, Campbell said Tuesday, “and nothing has gone the way we wanted it to be. I think we did a good job of connecting on all cylinders tonight”.
Eli Manning threw four touchdown passes with no interceptions.
Manning finished the game with a quarterback passer rating of 151.5, marking his best performance since the 2009 season. Lastly, they finish their season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles, in which that game could be a playoff elimination game depending on what happens in the wild & insane NFC East with both of those teams and the Washington Redskins at 6-7. With three games left to play, the Giants are in position to make a playoff run.
Flowers allowed three quarterback hurries and a hit in the win over the Dolphins, garnering a negative game grade from Pro Football Focus.
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw 25 completions for 236 yards with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills in the third quarter.
Beckham made a 45-yard reception to set up a touchdown and had a 6-yard scoring catch.
Aside from Beckham, arguably the biggest takeaway from Monday’s game is that the Giants finally held onto a 4th-quarter lead.
The Miami Dolphins have had some memorable moments in their last 50 years or first if you are one of those half-full kinds of people.
The NFL announced late Monday night that the Vikings-Giants game has been flexed to 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on NBC as the Sunday Night Football game of the week. NY was coming off an overtime loss to the Jets in their last appearance, while Miami edged out the Ravens in Week 13. And with the score 24-all, he took advantage of broken coverage to score the go-ahead touchdown. Jarvis Landry had a very bad personal foul penalty that cost his team 15 yards in the fourth quarter.
-COACHING: C – Miami abandoned the run in the fourth quarter and left Beckham one-on-one more times than seemed wise. It appeared Taylor thought he would have help over the top from strong safety Reshad Jones, but Jones said that wasn’t the case. It was so close that the play originally was ruled incomplete and out of bounds, but Tom Coughlin challenged it.
As a result of the offensive line’s solid play, the running game actually played a significant part in the offense.
The Bengals (10-3) lead the AFC North by two games over Pittsburgh (8-5).

Making a trade for a player can have a long-lasting effect on a franchise. Even with opposing defenses focusing in on Beckham jr. the two are able to consistently wreck havoc on opposing defenses. The second-year player, who as a rookie started seven of 16 games and who rushed the ball 217 times for 721 times (3.3-yard average) and seven touchdowns, has been unable to build off that successful first season.
