Pierre-Paul scores TD, shines as Giants beat Browns 27-13

But this season-long futility streak cuts much deeper than self-preservation for the 51-year-old who took the Browns gig after four successful seasons in Cincinnati, the final two as offensive coordinator.

The Giants (8-3) extended their winning streak to six games, the franchise’s longest in the regular season since 2008, which also happens to be the last time they were five games over.500. “All we can do now is look forward to Pittsburgh”. No wide receiver in Manning’s career has caught more than the 33 touchdowns these two great receivers share.

Cleveland will practice Monday and Tuesday and then Jackson will “probably just send them on their way”.

Following the game, Jackson, saddled with a rookie-laden roster, met with Cleveland’s “upper management” in his office before his news conference.

Browns coach Hue Jackson, who was almost in tears following Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the New York Giants, said Monday he’s ready to “unleash” everything in the playbook.

Eli Manning heard cheers from fans as he made his way through the tunnel.

For the entire first quarter both teams couldn’t move the ball offensively. “If you’re 8-3, it’s like, ‘Okay, that hurts us, but we’re still where we want to be.’ Right now, there’s a sense we need to get a win”. The Browns have to prove something, and as of yet, they’ve failed to show anything positive. You have to make plays at crucial times. Had some opportunities and looks to make some. “Sometimes it doesn’t come out the right way, and it hasn’t for us this season”. It was one of those days where they were kind of giving us some shots down the field and you have to hit them. With each Berea bust-up it becomes more and more hard to make the case that someone wouldn’t just turn the Browns down and wait for something better.

Odell Beckham Jr. would score one more touchdown on a 4-yard pass from Eli Manning.

To start off the game, the Cleveland Browns kicked off and their kicker Cody Parkey preceded to kick the ball out of bounds. “Uh-uh. No. I am a fighter, and I don’t lose many fights”.

“We weren’t able to consistently do some things on offense”. Giants punter Brad Wing did a good job getting hang time.

“Hopefully, they feel the same from me to them”.

The Browns played a conservative Cover 2 approach, but that only allowed them to make the game competitive.

McAdoo attributed the offensive struggles on Sunday to “inconsistency and penalties”. “I know that without question, and that is why I have always said if you are going to get us you better get us now because we are not going to feel like this a year from now”. “We have to start fast and play at a high level in all three areas”. Taylor also scored on a 7-yard run in helping keep Buffalo in the playoff hunt.The Bills (6-5) won for the second straight week when trailing at halftime after doing so just once last season. Those guys knew that.

For the Giants, though, it might not matter how they play heading into the playoffs – just how they get there.

Some of the following items were provided by Pro Football Focus, others by the Giants’ PR Department.

With tight ends Will Tye and Jerell Adams on the field, running back Rashad Jennings rushed for six yards on first down. Meanwhile, the Browns have played six different quarterbacks in just 12 games this season. For the benefit of subsidizing the suck, they have had their stadium taken over and lost any sense of identity that tied the team back to an era they liked. Left tackle Ereck Flowers surrendered four of those pressures.

This was a game in which the Giants had nothing to prove other than to come out of it with a victory. NFC East leader Dallas (10-1), whose only loss is to the Giants, is at MetLife Stadium on December 11, followed by NFC North-leading Detroit (7-4) on the 18th.
