On the Giants’ first possession of the game, Eli Manning threw a short pass to Beckham.
Jenkins has played at a legitimately elite level for the Giants, matching up with No. 1 wide receivers and routinely containing their best efforts. Next Monday, against the Dallas Cowboys and Week 17 at home against the Green Bay Packers. This was a game we all knew the Lions could lose. A fumble on the 1-yard line. A road game with an injured Stafford against a now 10-4 Giants team. “They generally display that during the course of the year”. The breakup forced the Lions to punt and allowed the Giants to head to the locker room with a 10-6 lead.
“You find teams that unleash the passing game against guys that can rush the passer and you’re going to have problems”, Caldwell said when asked why he didn’t unleash the passing game more.
“You just have to capture a groove and play your best football heading into the playoffs”, Apple said. He really started to come into his own during the middle stages of last season, with MLive.com describing his journey around the league as a “shutdown tour”.
And it didn’t help that Darius Slay, the man who was supposed to be one-on-one with Odell Beckham Jr., aggravated his hamstring injury in the second quarter and failed to return to the game. If the Lions are to have a chance, they will need to make sure that this week is not the week the Giants offense lights up the scoreboard. Tate fired back at one of the reporters post-game. Nobody reacted to it, literally.
In both the loss to the Texans in Week 8 and the most recent loss to the Giants in Week 15, Caldwell opted not to throw his challenge flag once. That’s a given. It’s not something they can adjust at this late point of the season. He went down on the third play of the second quarter, covering a pass intended for tight end Eric Ebron that fell incomplete.
There was no question whether or not the Lions would’ve lost a timeout on the play. “If we had seen it clearly…that’s different, if we know it for a fact”.
