Giants forge 1st-place tie by beating Dolphins 31-24

And never even a abdomen virus can stop Odell Beckham Jr. In the fourth quarter, Odell Beckham Jr. made a move in the secondary and caught a pass and took it 84 yards for the game winning touchdown. The New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins on Monday night 31-24.

“It’s a must-win, a playoff game for us”, Beckham said.

New York’s Eli Manning went 27 for 31 for 337 yards and four scores. It is certainly a tough final three games, but if they can find a way to get into the playoffs, anything can happen.

The offensive line got more aggressive, and withstood the weekly injury to Ereck Flowers, as Manning’s quick release allowed him to be sack-free on the evening. We hadn’t practiced it in a while, but we talked about it earlier today that it might come up. Campbell said, “It’s always something different in the run game and where we were clicking in the first half, we didn’t quite get those in the second half”. “We connected on a big play at a crucial time”. It was probably the easiest game remaining on their schedule, and now it’s the Panthers (about to clinch home field advantage), Vikings (trying to win their division) and the Eagles (a team that’s used to ruining things for the G-Men and have already beaten them this season).

Now their season is essentially over.

“Those are the most disappointing”, he said. Lamar Miller rushed for 89 yards, including a darting 38-yard touchdown run, but carried only 12 times.

The Giants actually had a rush for over 20 yards against the Dolphins, which is a victory given their struggles as a team this season.

Then Giants coach Tom Coughlin throws the red challenge flag on a pass that was called incomplete from Manning to Beckham, and the tightest of camera angles shows that Odell actually made an incredible play to get his feet down in the end zone, and just like that, Miami’s edge is lost. He told them “The playoffs start now” because they can’t afford any more losses at this stage of the season.
