Earliest elimination from playoff race for Dolphins since 2011 – where’s motivation now?

Allowed to stand, Manning threw at a 75% completion rate. Tannehill signed a $95 million contract extension in the offseason.

Blount is yet another loss to a backfield that has already saw Dion Lewis go down for the season, and Easley represents a bigger hit to the defense than some may realize.

After bursting onto the scene with his famous one-handed grab in primetime against Dallas previous year, Beckham has continued to make jaw-dropping plays on a regular basis and delivered several more gems against Miami. Beckham has been on a tear of late, going over 100 yards receiving in 6 straight games and hauling in 8 touchdowns during the stretch.

Furthermore, should the NFC East come down to tiebreakers, NY is in need of help. LT Ereck Flowers hurt his ankle on the long touchdown pass to Beckham and missed the rest of the game.

That’s bad news for the Dolphins, who have had turmoil and turnover all season at right cornerback, free safety and nickel back. The Panthers just need to get a few stops to give their offense a chance. Beckham made a sliding catch inside two minutes to keep the ball away from Miami.

The Dolphins are 24th in the National Football League in scoring at 20.3 points per game. It’s why they’re 5 ½-point underdogs at home. “It was time for the offense to step up, and we didn’t do it”. It’s why the Giants claim they’re not afraid to have Beckham matched against Norman. Landry ended with 11 receptions for 99 yards, two kickoff returns for 66 yards and two punts returns for 30 yards for a total of 195 all-purpose yards. The proof is in the pudding when the Dolphins are running the football and getting physical at the line of scrimmage they are a much better team. They punted two plays after the penalty.

-Former Giants executive and current Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman believes there are three tenets to winning: run the ball, stop the run, rush the passer. Miller, who rushed for 1,099 yards a year ago, needs to average only 77 yards a game over the final three to become the first Dolphins RB to have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons since Ricky Williams (2002-03). “Obviously that’s the goal, to either be in the Super Bowl or be in the Pro Bowl”.

-Right tackle Ja’Wuan James (right big toe) has been out of a walking boot for about a week, but it is not yet known whether he will practice this week in preparation for Sunday’s game at San Diego.

The problems in the secondary began when veteran free safety Louis Delmas went down with a season-ending knee injury in the preseason. Tye had five catches for 30 yards and a touchdown in the game against the Dolphins.

Look no further than the touchdown that Odell Beckham Jr. of the New York Giants scored Monday night.

“Collins, the Giants second-round pick out of Alabama, didn’t have a particularly strong first half”.

There is a sense that the Giants tend to perform well in these situations. Darr, the undrafted rookie from Tennessee, is fifth in the National Football League at 47.6 yards per punt. Randy Moss, for instance, was the better one-game receiver than Rice, but their careers are incomparable. The Giants turned it into a field goal. Manning had over 300 yards and 4 touchdowns.

The game of the week for the state of Alabama is the Cincinnati Bengals-San Francisco 49ers game. Lippett presumably will take time from Jamar Taylor.

Still injuries are starting to take a toll during Carolina’s chase for perfection. Interim coach Dan Campbell hinted Tuesday that McCain might not be available this week.
