Giants’ Beckham under fire for clashes with Norman

Any outcome outside of those, and the Giants miss the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. “I hope the league office gets a chance to review the film and see what they can do, because players like that don’t deserve to be in the game, I mean, it’s ridiculous”, Carolina Panthers cornerback Norman pointed out.

Wilson, with another spectacular performance, became the first quarterback in NFL history to make three or more touchdown passes and no interceptions in five straight games, the league said. It takes more than a slap across the face of a defensive player.

Newton led the Panthers (14-0) to their 18th straight regular-season victory. He was flagged three times for unsportsmanlike conduct, including one play in which he came from the sideline for a helmet-to-helmet block on Norman in the middle of the field. What does a player need to do to get ejected?

But Coughlin was so desperate to win, he refused to teach his immature star even a brief lesson.

So, what next? Beckham will surely be fined by the NFL. With the loss, the New York Giants fall a game behind the Washington Redskins in the NFC East. They also have a tough game against a 9-5 Minnesota Vikings on the road.

Coughlin came to the job in 2004 preaching discipline.

Norman has a reputation of being an agitator.

Newton talked about how the next game is “in a hostile environment in Atlanta”, but the Panthers just beat the Falcons, 38-0, a week ago. He implored the Cowboys to get “Dez’s 70 mil back”, after shutting down Dez Bryant on Thanksgiving. Prosch carried the ball for the sixth time this season, picking up 2 yards, and made a special-teams tackle as Houston took a one-game lead over Indianapolis at the top of the AFC South standings.

That’s no excuse for Beckham.

Steve Serby, New York Post: “On a day when the Giants needed the best of Beckham, they got the worst of Beckham”. Beckham had already drawn two unnecessary roughness calls. Shane Vereen’s 8-yard reception brought NY within seven. Beckham and Norman were engaged in their jousting from the moment the game began and it seems inarguable that Beckham was, at the very least, off his game because of his emotions.

Down by 28 points late in the 3 quarter, the New York Giants engineered arguably the comeback of the year, tying the game at 35 only to lose to the Carolina Panthers 38-35 on a last second field goal. A couple of plays later, Norman was whistled for a second personal foul – one fewer than Beckham’s total. Beckham lost his cool several times as Normangot the best of him.

I think you know what I am talking about: the embarrassment that was Odell Beckham.

“Rather than getting personal fouls – maybe a series”, I said.

Odell Beckham Jr. went from a one-man-show to a no-show for most of the game.

If anybody playing for a Bill Parcells team ever put himself over the team, he would find his butt on the bench.

But then he later admitted that the thought was “a strong consideration” that never happened. He finished with six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown, a 14-yarder over Norman that tied the game at 35 with less than two minutes remaining.

The Arizona Cardinals are NFC West champions.

On his way out of MetLife Stadium an hour after the game had ended, Manning had a familiar look.

Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who lost the index finger on his right hand in a July 4 fireworks accident, got his first sack in his sixth game back.

But Rivera has his own problems to worry about and the glimpse he got of his team trying to handle strife did not please him.

The Steelers controlled the second half, finally taking the lead when Ryan Shazier intercepted Brock Osweiler to set up a 23-yard dart from Roethlisberger to Brown with 3:34 to go.

The Eagles have played up to their competition in recent weeks, with wins against New England and Buffalo, but against a relentless Cardinals defense that is fourth in the N.F.L.in yards allowed per game and fifth against the rush, it is hard to see them coming away with a victory.
