Odell Beckham Jr stars in New York Giants win over Miami Dolphins

And no matter how much time he has left as Dolphins coach – three games or three decades – Campbell doesn’t plan on going out as one. I was sitting around with friends watching the game last night and I realized something.

The Dolphins (5-8) were mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, extending their postseason drought to a franchise-record seven consecutive years.

On first-and-10 from his own 16, the Giants receiver got behind the “D” dashed up the middle of the field, into flawless position to catch Eli Manning’s rainbow at his own 45 and outrace everyone to the end zone, an 84-yard TD that gave the Giants a 31-24 lead. “So I want it to hurt”. It motivates me and it pisses me off.

“I was upset about the fight, losing their temper and all that stuff, but the bottom line is you can’t afford to do it and lose a guy”, the Giants’ coach said.

“I got hit good in that one”, Coughlin said.

For every salty win, it seems there are a couple tasteless losses to follow. We’ll see what kind of character we’ve got on this team.

Like Pouncey, management has likely started thinking about offseason decisions.

Years of frustration culminated on Tuesday when an unusually soft-spoken Dan Campbell admitted that it’s another failed season in Miami.

When asked about his future beyond this season Campbell said, “I’ll be honest with you, I just want to win”. But he had studied hard, studied long, was not pleased with the outcome of the previous game, and he had made up his mind to really get to know this Miami team, as all of our players resolved to do.

Campbell was especially unhappy about four personal foul penalties.

Campbell said he believed Miller was hurt. “They’re totally inexcusable. There’s nothing that’s OK about that”.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw 25 completions for 236 yards with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Stills in the third quarter.

Like it or not, the Vikings will have to play another regular season prime time game in 2015. “I had time to make a good throw”. “Running over there, I saw him at the last minute”. Check. Big plays by the Giants defense that has helped the team to the third-best turnover differential in the league?

Run-pass balance was an issue, as it has been all season. Dolphins running back Lamar Miller scampered into the endzone for a 14-yard touchdown.

Odell Beckham Jr. won this game, scoring two dynamic touchdowns and shredding the Miami “D” for 166 yards.

For most of the game the Dolphins played a well balanced offense but in the 2nd half the play calling left a little to be desired and Miami couldn’t find any cohesiveness outside of Tannehill and Landry.

“We didn’t get it done on the biggest stage of our season”, Landry said. And all I care about is San Diego. Night Football to bring their record to 6-7. But things changed a bit on Monday night, both in the eyes of those on the outside and, in all likelihood, for many in the Giants’ locker room and organization as well. – James Kratch, NJ.comIt was playoff-caliber preparation and execution by the two players (Manning and Beckham Jr.) who will need to put the Giants on their backs if they are to lug this shabby roster into January.
