Edelman will miss MNF vs. Bills
The Patriots won a thrilling game over the NY Giants on Sunday when Stephen Gostkowski snuck a 54-yard field goal past the left upright to give New England a 27-26 win and improve the team’s record to 9-0. It is another heartbreaking loss for the Giants, who played well enough to get the victory, but came up just short.
“Our season’s going to depend on these last six games and that’s the way we look at it”, Manning said. On the game’s final drive, Brady was rattled by the Giants’ pass rush but was able to get New England into field-goal range.
This one might have been the toughest because the Giants had a couple of chances to put the game away after blowing a 10-point second-half lead.
Superstar quarterback Tom Brady was nearly intercepted by New York’s Landon Collins on the Patriots’ final drive, but the rookie safety dropped the ball when he landed awkwardly on his neck. They also had another regular season win against New England in 2011. “Let him get healed up, let us finish our season, and then I think we’ll have to have a few medical opinions about what’s happening here. It didn’t go the way we wanted [it] to”. Sure, you’d miss the end of the game – when Harris inexplicably caught a pass from Manning with just over two minutes to play and ran out of bounds to stop the clock.
“Play’s there, you have to make the play”, a frustrated coach Tom Coughlin said. Somehow, second-year offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo has been able to mold those players into a unit with interchangeable parts, and that’s a big reason why the Patriots have one of the best offenses in the NFL. “We have to kick a field goal, which makes you right away anxious because they have an outstanding kicker who might kick it from 58 to 60 yards, he’s done that before”.
Twitter as the No. 1 loser in America. He’s made a franchise-record 27 straight dating back to last season, including 23 in 2015.
Because it was a close game that ended as time expired, everyone will tend to focus on the plays that happened from 2:01 on down, i.e., after Odell Beckham Jr.’s touchdown catch was overturned.
The Giants didn’t really mismanage the clock that badly. Beckham didn’t score again, and he caught only three more passes for 17 yards. “You can’t leave it up to the officials to get anything right”. And as a lesson in how to protect the football going forward after Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler knocked it out of his hands. Tom Brady completed 26 of 42 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns against one interception. That was something the Patriots had actually prepared for during the week leading up to the game. “I’m not playing for the field goal”. Amendola’s 82-yard punt return set up LeGarrette Blount’s 1-yard TD run in the third quarter. Linebacker Jasper Brinkley came in on the tackle that caused the injury. Beckham embellished his celebration with a salute at attention to the crowd; the Giants honored the military before the game.
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins was fabulous with 324 passing yards and four scores, two of which went to tight end Jordan Reed.
They were the longest catches for both Beckham and Rob Gronkowski.
