Giants-Vikings in Week 16 shifted to Sunday night

And since the Patriots would own the sixth tiebreaker, strength of schedule, the Patriots would win the AFC East. Of course, both of those tiebreakers would only come into play if the Patriots lost their final three games and the Jets won their last three so that both teams finshed with an 11-5 record.

The Miami Dolphins host the New York Giants to close out Week 14. On his second score, Miller broke a tackle in the backfield, got redirected, made a quick move and was gone up the middle.

“It’s a must-win, a playoff game for us”, Beckham said.

“Obviously, this is not where we want to be”, Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill said, “but here we are”. On the ground, Lamar Miller rushed for 113 yards in 20 attempts. The Dolphins converted the turnover into a 36-yard Andrew Franks field goal to take a 17-10 lead.

Beckham slipped 5 yards behind the secondary to make an 84-yard touchdown reception that put the Giants ahead to stay with 11 minutes to go.

Meriweather had been limited in practice last week and listed as questionable for Monday night’s game at Miami. The receiver on the 5-yard pass for the tie: Will Tye.

Tannehill finished the half 15-for-23 for 102 yards, while Manning was 14-for-16 for 154 yards with two touchdowns. In the receiving end, Devante Parker had 63 yards and one touchdown in three catches.

Manning completed 27 of 31 passes for 337 yards and did not throw an interception, helping the Giants (6-7) pull into a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East along with the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins. The pass was ruled incomplete originally, but a review showed Beckham got both feet inbounds, and the call was overturned.

New York, which led 3-0 on Josh Brown’s 35-yard field goal, fell behind and battled back from two deficits. NY took advantage of the Dolphins’ poor run defense, a problem they have had all season, with Rashad Jennings picking up 9 yards on the first play, then 21 yards on the second play.
