The Monday night game between the Giants and Dolphins will determine the matchup for the Sunday night game in two weeks.

Donald Trump gets graphic attacking Hillary Clinton
Trump has the potential to aid recruiting efforts, no evidence has been found to support Clinton’s comment. Trump also took aim at the media, the new federal budget agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, and Obamacare.
Most of the 1972 Dolphins and other greats who were honored at halftime Monday night can’t relate to it, either.
Lindsey Graham drops out of presidential race – 12/21/2015 7:39:09 PM
But he made a decision to move forward that timetable and drop off because his candidacy has failed to gain traction. Graham’s exit is expected to cause a realignment of GOP support in the Palmetto State.
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was once again the star for the Giants in their 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, scoring two touchdowns to help NY stay in the hunt for the NFC East title.
No bail for friend of San Bernardino terrorist
Prosecutors are asking that Marquez remain held for the safety of the community and because they fear he would flee if released. FBI Director James Comey said the couple had been “radicalized” long before the shooting, even prior to being married.
-COACHING: C – Miami abandoned the run in the fourth quarter and left Beckham one-on-one more times than seemed wise.
Miami (5-8), which clinched its seventh straight nonwinning season, was eliminated from playoff contention.
Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw 25 completions for 236 yards with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills in the third quarter. He fell to 4-5 since taking over, and his team must dig deep for motivation in the final three games. “This is a short week; we have Carolina coming in and we have to have a great week of preparation and see if we can play well and finish another game”.
Until Beckham stepped up the Giants were in danger of suffering a huge blow in their bid to win the division, but victory lifts them to 6-7 and level with the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles – but they sit third in the division on tie-breakers.
-PASSING OFFENSE: A-plus. Zero dropped passes and four touchdown passes (two caught by the awesome Odell Beckham Jr., who by the way finished with 166 yards on seven receptions); does it get much better than that for a passing offense?
To make sure his team would get the job done this week, Coughlin showed the players a highlight reel of plays that were highly graded by the coaches.
When that drive began, Beckham was in the locker room getting an IV to prevent cramping in the second half. With the score 24-all, he took advantage of broken coverage to score the go-ahead touchdown.
Yet, ESPN noted that some of his teammates will definitely miss him as he energetically encouraged them during game days and attended several charity events for the team.
“We’ve got three to go, and it’s strictly playing for the love of the game”, Campbell said. The big plays to Odell… we thought we had another one early on, the pressure kept him from being able to launch the ball the way he wanted to.
S Reshad Jones scooped up a Giants fumble and then made the “Hula Hula” hand signals – his way of saying he deserves to go to Hawaii this year as a Pro Bowl selection. “The corner is supposed to follow up and go over the top, which he didn’t”. Dwayne Harris and Beckham also had key catches. So when officials ruled Beckham’s play a catch, it sealed the Giants’ first victory in more than a month.
“Obviously his performance is something we all expect”, Landry said.
There’s no quick turnaround now, though, just a quick glance back, to the days when the Dolphins were a team of destiny, and not the one that continually leaves you longing. But he couldn’t move away fast enough from cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who was defending a fourth-quarter pass attempt to Jarvis Landry in the Giants’ 31-24 win over the Dolphins.

“You’ve just got to address them”, Campbell said. The Doplhins had 12 penalties for 123 yards, and many were due to lack of discipline (false starts, personal fouls). The running game was the bread and butter for the Dolphins, with Lamar Miller running for 89 yards and two TD’s.
