Beckham taunts Browns fans with LeBron’s celebrations
“The type of game it was, I thought we had some moments where we ran the ball well, but we were inconsistent there”.
Led by DE Jason Pierre-Paul, whose comeback from a debilitating hand injury has been nothing short of remarkable, the Giants took down Browns QB Josh McCown seven times Sunday, their highest total since they had seven sacks in a victory against Washington almost two years ago. Up next is Warren Moon (49,325), but Manning has a long way to go to catch brother, Peyton, who finished with 71,940 yards.
While others question Jackson’s future with the team and an historically bad start to the season, he is instead committed to “burning the midnight oil” over the annual bye week to prepare the Browns for the final four games of the year, including a home contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 11th. I know these guys will come to work, they will be ready to go and we will work through tomorrow. Well, there are two answers … The Giants’ opponents during their six-game winning streak had a combined record of 20-45-1. Cleveland got three points after Bobby Rainey muffed a punt, and a Mark Herzlich holding penalty nullified a punt return for a touchdown by Beckham in the fourth quarter. “If you want to get us, you better get us now, because I’m not going to feel this way next year”.
NOTES: QB Eli Manning made his 194th straight start with the Giants. Pierre-Paul recorded three of the team’s seven sacks and was credited with a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
The Giants’ defensive end rumbled 43 yards to put the Giants up by a decisive 20-6 score line.
“I think it’s great that we have players that can change the game in one play”, McAdoo said. Olivier Vernon was also a factor on defense, finishing with 1.5 sacks and five quarterback hits. McCown’s first fumble was costly as it was picked up and returned for a touchdown. Beckham did his homage to James even though he knew the punt return touchdown was likely to be called back.
The Giants secondary has consistently made plays too. New York’s offense was starting to come alive while Cleveland’s remained anemic. He also suffered a concussion October 23 against the Cincinnati Bengals and sat out one game.
In the end, the defense of the Giants prevailed, ironically after the Browns’ biggest play of the game.
Odell Beckham had his way with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
It does no good to stockpile all the draft picks team officials seem intent on stockpiling if those picks aren’t going to be used to acquire players who can move the needle.
The Giants were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half, this after a frustrating series where they went three-and-out.
Despite the lopsided score, the Browns were very much in their Week 12 matchup with the Giants nearly the whole way, going into the second half down a touchdown and trailing by one score with six minutes remaining.
Over the last four games, Eli Manning has thrown 12 touchdowns. The Giants would then make it 14-3 late in the second quarter, with Manning finding Beckham over the middle for a 33-yard catch and run into the end zone. Rashad Jennings lead the Giants with 55 yards.
The New York Giants’ offense was hyped to be one of the best in the entire league coming into the year.
Pierre Paul finished with seven tackles and three sacks.
But the Giants have proved they are also a quality team. They’ve sacked opposing quarterbacks at timely moments, and they’ve scored on big plays right when they needed to.
This wasn’t the case during the Giants’ 27-13 Week 12 win over the Cleveland Browns. NY might not look like a good teamon paper this year, but the Giants have the same outlines as their championship-winning predecessors.
Efforts like this will be needed by JPP, OBJ and Hankins as the Giants begin a hard five-game stretch to end the season, starting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. You don’t think you can get one yard on the Browns in that situation?
McAdoo insists the Giants won’t be focused on making the playoffs.
