Week 17 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Washington Redskins on Sunday, December 31, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Washington Redskins took to the field against the NY Giants. However, the Redskins were unable to perform as expected in what could be their last contest of the season. Ultimately, the team lost to the Giants with a final of 7-9. The Redskins won the toss and deferred to the 2nd half – starting the game in defense. New York, on the other hand, took to the ground running to kick their arch-nemesis right in the gut. In particular, Orleans Darkwa took advantage of missed tackles and slow adjusting players to gash the Redskins’ defense with a 75-yard touchdown run. D. Swearinger, on the other hand, broke free and tried to run the blocked kickback in search of extra points for his team. The offensive effort was a massive failure – particular for Cousins and Samaje Perine (who sustained an injury to the right ankle and had to be carried off the field).
Cousins also missed the linebacker after he threw a poor pass. Ty Nsekhe was also injured on the drive and had to limp off the field – further adding to the injury woes suffered by the Redskins. During the first half, Ryan Kerrigan scored a pair of sacks while the Redskins made a series of irreparable errors – including clipping calls against Tyler Catalina – which ensured that the score wrapped up at 15 to 10. The second half, on the other hand, bordered on the torturous as both teams spent most of the match going back and forth, kicking punts, making errors, and adding a total of 3 points to the final scoreboard.
Week 16 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, December 24, 4:25 PM, University of Phoenix Stadium
The New York Giants versus Arizona Cardinals game brought us an absolutely stellar match with lots of action throughout. Looking back, the Cardinals showed great performance in the 1st, with the pass to Larry Fitzgerald, giving them a 1st down. This was promptly followed by a great wobbler from Stanton to Fitzgerald again, this time with surgical accuracy, striking down the ball between three giants, to find Fitzgerald in the middle. All in all, this was a great 1st for the Cardinals. They kept advancing up the pitch, and with 7 minutes to go, they had secured the 10-yard line, and this was followed swiftly by a field goal from Dawson.
The Cardinals showed their strength again at the 2: 30-minute mark, with a great intercept from Antoine Bethea, which would otherwise have landed Manning a position somewhere between the 30-20 yard lines. The Cardinals dominated the 1st with 3-0 and furthermore added to the lead with 1 minute to go of the 2nd, with Fitzgerald landing a touchdown for the Cardinals. In the 3rd another great touchdown was landed by the Cardinals, this time by Browne, and in the 4th, the touchdown by Nkemdiche pretty much sealed the deal, securing the Cardinals the win of 23-0.

The New York Giants challenged the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated match. The Giants kicked off the match on a high momentum scoring touchdowns on their first three possessions to make a 20-7 lead. Though there were speculations that the Eagles would employ their running game against Giants (2-120 in order to spare time for Foles to adjust to the offense that did not happen.

Week 13 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Oakland Raiders on Sunday, December 03, 4:25 PM, Oakland Coliseum
Oakland Raiders hosted New York Giants and got another slight victory from the game. This was a much needed win for Oakland who were already struggling to stay in the AFC play offs. Without their two best receivers, Oakland’s quarterback had a rough time trying to pass the ball across but the team managed to get a rhythm, which made the rest of the game easy. During the first three quarters, they struggled to score only managing a 10-7 lead in the fourth quarter, the continuous struggle and successful passes together with a touchdown gave them the win and the much needed improvement from 4-2 to 6-6 in the league.
Although the Giants tried to put up a fight, they lost two important touchdown passes, which could have been what caused them the game. The way they played wasn’t good enough even as they tried to keep the gap between the scores short. The game that ended with a 24-17 win for the hosts left the Giant’s supporters disappointed and the other side relieved but it was also very entertaining to the viewers. Oakland now has to keep up the winning streak even though they managed to get through the most difficult part to increase their ratings.
Week 12 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Washington Redskins on Thursday, November 23, 8:30 PM, FedEx Field
The New York Giants were treated to a special treat on thanksgiving been beaten 20 to 10 by hosts Washington Redskins. The thanksgiving contest saw the two NFC East rivals go toe to toe. The visiting Giants were being led by Quarterback Elli Manning. The Redskins were in great form all round but must have been all thankful for their CornerBack Kendall Fuller for his interceptions. This game came as a crush for the Giants as they were coming from a win over the Chiefs. It was a reminder that the Giants lacked momentum.
The Redskins on the other hand were coming from a loss in New Orleans. Both teams were lacking key players and with a short time for preparations both teams were struggling. Nevertheless, The Redskins rose to the occasion; they demonstrated a real winning Character. Highlights of the game included: Giants tight end Evans Engram dropped the ball on a third down pass hitting his hands midway through the third quarter. His drops continue to be a concern for the Giants. Giants Landon Collins’ performance continued to impress as the defensive player caused all sorts of problems for the Redskins.

Week 11 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, November 19, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The twenty-three-yard field goal from Aldrick Rosas helped to deliver the win to the New York Giants at 12-9. The victory came to the Giants over the Chiefs after a struggle for supremacy in the regulation period of the match. In the halftime, the Giants were able to take a 6-3 lead over the Chiefs. On the first drive, the Giants also orchestrated some simple tricks. This includes a false pass that made Shane Vereen’s pass to get to Evan Engram and later collected by Daniel Sorensen. With long struggles, the Chiefs refuse to convert any further goals or chances.
Nevertheless, the Giants’ Damon Harrison was able to stop Alex Smith’s shovel pass which is suppose to reach Travis Kelce near the twenty-six-yard of the Chiefs. With Orleans Darkwa, the Giants were able to convert a twenty-six-yard touchdown to lead the Chiefs by 6-0. The extra point was missed by Rosas at a very difficult time of the game. In the second quarter, the Chiefs were able to get back into the game with a thirty-one-yard field goal from Harrison Butker. This occurred at the sixty-one-yard scoring drive with 9:17 remaining in the clock, making the Giants maintain 6-3 at the halftime.

With this, the Giants maintained their victory after the end of regulation.
Week 10 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, November 12, 4:25 PM, Levis Stadium
When the Giants faced the 49ers, no one was really expecting a very entertaining game together the two teams merge for a combined 1-16 record which is just awful. The Giants have been horrendous and they just look even worse after coming of another loss this time to the previous winless 49ers, the final result was 31-21. However there were some positives out of the game, rookie quarterback C.J Beathard has now made history by completing two 45 plus yards touchdown passes, and it was also C.J’s first time multi-touchdown game.
Even though it was a great game for the rookie, the game in itself was nothing amazing. And most people weren’t probably expecting the game of the year to come out of two teams that had a combined 1 win for the season so far. The only positive for the Giants now is that they inch closer to that first round 2018 draft pick, which after all canbe looked at as a positive from this loss to the 49ers.
Week 9 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, November 05, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Los Angeles Rams have shown once again that they are a force to feared when they completely crushed the New York Giants. The final score was 51-17 due to perfect teamwork on the Ram’s part. They made one amazing play after another with Jared Gott setting a career high with 4 touchdowns and a total of 311 yards passing. The Ram’s defence was working flawlessly, forcing three turnovers, and was outshined only by their offence which can be credited with scoring 8 out of their first 9 possessions.
This was the Ram’s best offence performance against the Giants since 1964 as Greg Zuerlein added three field goals. Eli Manning was responsible for two touchdown passes and in the process, became the 7th quarterback to reach 50,000 mark. This was the fifth in six games win for the Rams and now they are off to an impressive 6-2, the best one since 2001.
The Giants, on the other hand, are in a heap of trouble as this loss puts them to a 1-7 score and most of us are wondering if coach Ben McAdoo will stay on the team. What makes the Giants poor performance more shocking is that Ben McAdoo led them to the playoffs just last year.
Week 7 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, October 22, 4:25 PM, MetLife Stadium
Ending in a victory for the Seahawks, the game involving the New York Giants had a lot of other highlights worth remembering. The match started shakily for the Seahawks who were behind by 7-3 points until the second quarter but they managed to gain control after that half when they scored a 22 yard pass. This put them in the lead instantly and they went ahead to stay in that position until the end, with the game ending 24-7 in favor of the Seahawks.
The gap in the points increased in the fourth quarter when one of the player Wilson launched a 38 yard pass. This was received by Richardson and Landon Collins who both leapt at the same time. This created a standoff because even though Richardson touched the ball first, Collins wrestled for it as they both came down. It was ruled as a tie and as such went in favor of the offense giving them the advantageous gap of 17-7. The Giants put up a good fight managing a total of 177 yards with the longest being 57. Among the first downs they got, 6 were a result of penalization of the Seahawks. Still, they tried their best but the offense proved to be too much thus one of the biggest losses for the Giants.
Week 6 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Denver Broncos on Sunday, October 15, 8:30 PM, Sports Authority Field@Mile High
Janoris Jenkins was able to get a lot done in the game against the Denver Broncos. The Giants were not expected to do well in the game, but Jenkins was able to largely shut down one of Denver’s best receivers. You have to realize how important that interception was where Jenkins was able to run one back against Trevor Simenian. It is automatically assumed that CJ Anderson and the Denver running back is going to be too bruising for a battered defensive line like the Giants had, but the defensive line was able to hold their own and stay competitive within the world of clock management.
Eli Manning did everything he could to win that game, and with the injuries to Dwayne Harris and Sterling Shepard. You should know that the linebackers for the Giants were confident during this game, they were able to shed blocks. This is what truly made the difference as the Giants won the game. Manning’s leadership skills probably saved Ben McAdoo’s job.
Week 5 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, October 08, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
While Giants keep losing everything, the Chargers eventually had a victory. With 2:58 minutes to play, Melvin Gordon received a touchdown pass from Philip Rivers throw at ten-yards. This made the Chargers giggle for joy by winning 27-22 at the end of the game. This game was between two clubs that experience a loss of 0-4 in the earlier month of the season. The Giants losing this match makes it their 5th straight loss. Odell Beckham Jr. also had a broken and bad ankle during the match. Before the Chargers eventually had their touchdown, Beckham injury remains the worst thing that occurred.
The cornerback Casey Hayward pin Odell’s ankle while trying to catch a high Eli Manning pass. While in obvious pain, players signal the great injury of Beckham. This pass occurred when Kyle Emanuel had a forced fumble, sack, and recovery against his opponents at the Giants eleven-yard line. The problem also occurred when Odell was named the 4th Giants receiver that has been knocked out of the match. The Chargers dominated the game and made excellent uses of their opportunities while playing against Giants. Even if the win was not so huge, at least the Chargers had it in the bag.
Week 4 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, October 01, 4:05 PM, Raymond James Stadium
There were so many takeaways to the Buccaneers’ 25–23 win over the Giants. The game shows that the Giants displayed a lot of agitation against their opponent. For one hundred and fifty-six yards, Zach Ertz, Eric Ebron and Jason Witten combined together to unleash twenty balls. They also had three touchdowns contrary to the opponent in the premier three matches. The Buccaneers turn arrived on Sunday as they wreak havoc on their opponent. In the game, Brate was seen to have two of the best catches, which remains a fourteen-yard touch. This helped the Bucs to lead by 22-17 with about seven minutes left.
Another shot arrived to arrange Nick Folk through Landon Collins that became a winning game from a thirty-four-yard distance goal as the time runs out. With the attacking challenges of the Giants, they have recovered. For this game, the New York upgraded Wayne Gallman and Paul Perkins was removed due to injury. On eleven carries, Gallman ran for forty-two yards. The slight win was on the side of the Bucs as they celebrated victory.
Week 3 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 24, 1:00 PM, Lincoln Financial Field
These two teams have been the major rivals since 1933 and this has been portrayed in the NFL year in year out. Their resent encountered was never expected to give anything less than that. It was to be so much thrilling as well as entertaining. Philadelphia Eagles seemed to be in control and in charge of the better part of the game. One of the top players in the team by the name Elliot seemed to be the man of the day. The coach of Philadelphia Doug Pederson had first to consult the special team coach, Dave Fipp before sending Elliot to the game. The coach had so much confidence in Elliot and he was almost sure that Elliot was going to deliver a much needed and thrilling win for Philadelphia Eagles.
Earlier in the game, Elliot missed from 52 yards. He later hit a 46-yard goal and they tied with the New York Giants. However a few moments later Aldrick Rosas hit a 41-yard goal to put New York Giants ahead. Philadelphia responded through a 36-yard penalty that was awarded to them.

Darren Sproles of the Philadelphia Eagles got a wrist injury while Jordan Hicks got an ankle injury.

Week 2 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants vs Detroit Lions on Monday, September 18, 8:30 PM, MetLife Stadium
The New York Giants offense was not rescued with the comeback of Odell Beckham, Jr. The wide receiver’s season debut Monday night was destroyed by the Detroit Lions. This handcuffed the Giants and Beckham in a 24-10 victory at New York. Rookie Jamal Agnew opened the game with an eighty-eight-yard punt return in the 4th quarter and made the Giants experience their second consecutive loss. Matthew Stafford threw for 2 touchdowns. Eli Manning was sacked after Lions 2-0 defeat making the troll five times.

In the first quarter, Stafford located Marvin Jones for a twenty-seven-yard touchdown and passed to Eric Ebron for a progress of seven-yarder in the second. Just before halftime, Matt Prater added a five-six-yard field goal that rebounded, making the Lions have a 17-7 lead. As Detroit joined Carolina and Atlanta as the only unbeaten clubs in the National Football League through Week 2, Ezekiel Ansah had three sacks.
Week 1 of NFL Season 2017: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, September 10, 8:30 PM, AT&T Stadium
Jason Witten was on the score sheet for Dallas Cowboys the game’s only touchdown setting up another franchise finish. He emerged the hero for the Cowboys though he had little to offer. Ezekiel Elliott who had a suspension of six games over a pending case on domestic violence was present after his suspension was put on hold. He took care of the strong yards, agitating out a 100-yard. As Witten and Elliott assisted Dallas to produce points, the Cowboys restricted the New York offense missing out vital receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in a 19-3 victory over New York Giants. Witten scored the first touchdown for the Cowboys on a 12-yard catch he did finish with seven catches for 59. Witten now has 1096 receptions for 11947 yards an impressive record.

Orlando Scandrick broke his hand during the second quarter. The Cowboys are hopeful of a quick recovery.
Week 4 of NFL Preseason 2017: New York Giants at New England Patriots on Thursday, August 31, 7:30 PM, Gillette Stadium
Since 2005, the Patriots and the Giants have been playing against each other during the fourth preseason game. For each team last year remains a bit of a roll reversal. This is because the Giants featured most of their newbie players against the Patriots. In the game, records have shown that the Giant back-ups performed incredibly well. In this year edition, fans do not know how Belichick will handle the match. Ben McAdoo has mentioned that the game will be professionally handled just like the previous year. The Giants may not feature big players like Brandon Marshall, Eli Manning, Oliver Vernon, Jason Pierre-Paul, Damon Harrison and just to mention a few. There is every possibility not to see players like Shane Vereen, Dwayne Harris, Sterling Shepard, and Rhett Ellison.
In the previous year, Weston Richburg didn’t play but the team featured another player in the offensive position. The addition for the back-up quarterbacks will be the most outstanding story for the New York Giants. Josh Johnson and Geno Smith will be cut on Saturday. While it may not possible for the Giants to cut both players, the Patriots can pick up good points from their opponent’s weaknesses. In this preseason, Smith has appeared to be the more responsible and real NFL quarterback, but his turnover has been in question. Davis Webb is in the bottom chart while Johnson has not been impressed with the team performance.
Week 3 of NFL Preseason 2017: New York Giants vs New York Jets on Saturday, August 26, 7:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The preseason game featuring New York Giants and the Jets ended miserably for the Jets receiving a 32-31 beating from Giants. The game as the score suggests was neck to neck and both games brought out their A-game. The Jets for example almost overcame the first half beating the by Giants 29-3 to almost even score. Bryce, however, managed to outplay Christian Hackenberg denying the Jets the victory having failed to make two- point conversion just 86 seconds before the end.
Giants trick to this victory were good starter in the preseason game week three. Despite the force brought about by this properly calculated move their bragging barely stood when their backups could not sufficiently hold down the Jets.
Eli manning, on the other hand, did not bring in the full force he is known for without his two leading targets Brandon Marshall and Beckham finishing with an interception at 7-of-14 for the 121 yards mark. Even though this was not his best game his team left with a 19-0, the coaching team is however fully aware of how capable he is in presence of his two supporting receivers.
Week 2 of NFL Preseason 2017: New York Giants at Cleveland Browns on Monday, August 21, 8:00 PM, FirstEnergy Stadium
The Cleveland Browns defeated the New York Giants, 10-6, in both teams second preseason game. For the Browns, now 2-0, their defense provided hope for its beleaguered fan base by setting up the Browns first touchdown with a turnover and holding the Giants to only six first downs, 99 yards and three points with Eli Manning at the helm in the first half. Rookie Jabril Peppers started at free safety and was a bright spot with 4 tackles in the first half and he also returned a punt 31 yards.
However, the Browns offense really struggled. Rookie Deshone Kizer outplayed Brock Osweiler but both had limited productivity. As much as the Brown’s defense gave hope the offense raised questions. Kizer is a rookie and it shows when he holds the ball too long and has an inclination to run with the ball that in the in NFL will get a quarterback hurt. The Browns plan this year by necessity will be to emphasize defense and a rushing game.
For the Giants, the big focus was the health of star receiver, Odell Beckham who injured his ankle. X-rays turned out to be negative and it was classified as a sprain.
Eli Manning was 10-14 for 80 yards playing most of the first half but did not lead his team to a touchdown. The highlight for the Giants offense in a lackluster performance was rookie tight end, Evan Engram, who caught three passes.
On defense for the Giants, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul intercepted Brock Osweiler. Middle linebacker, B. J. Goodson led the Giants with seven tackle as, the Giants had five quarterback hits and two sacks. Defensive end. Oliver Vernon not only tipped the pass that led to PIerre-Paul’s interception, but he also made a spectacular defensive play running 30 yards down the field in pass coverage and leaping in the air to bat a pass out of bounds. The Giants defense held the Browns offense in check for most of the game.
It was a classic preseason game where both teams identified a lot areas in need of improvement.
Week 1 of NFL Preseason 2017: New York Giants vs Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, August 11, 7:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The initial game of the 2017 preseason had bad and good moments. The Pittsburgh Steelers will obviously show the players the things they don’t know so well and those they do know well. The initial half got the offense to struggle going three and out two times. Dobbs also had a hard time most of the initial half throwing two interceptions.
The offense was too Vanilla for the player who went 5-10 for 83 yards with a touchdown but threw two bad interceptions. In the first interception, his throwing arm was hit in the process. Also, there was some sort of miscommunication. In the second interception, Dobbs was unaware of the defense dropping into coverage. He threw the ball into the target he wanted and the defense stepped right in front to pick it. Dobbs will require improving on studying the defense and to stop staring down receivers. But he delivered a great strike to Hamilton after he beat Valentino, a former Steeler.
The run game did not have much going for it except some big runs from Toussaint and Davis. The duo did not do much to stand out. The defense stood out getting a great push up front from the starting line. Overall, the game was average showing for majority of the teams since they won 20-12 in New York.

Wild Card Weekend of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Green Bay Packers on Sunday, January 08, 4:40 PM, Lambeau Field
The offense of the Giants just let them down when they played against the Packers this entire season. The playmakers of the Giants did not cut it, which is especially true in the very first quarter of the past game. The Giants lost a lot of opportunities when playing just against Mr. Rodgers, and they should not have done this. These situations make them lose a lot of good things in the game. Roger ended with no interceptions and 4 touchdown passes in the game, which is truly awesome for him.
The Giants` offense just bit the Packers. The Packers` defense needed some help just along with way, and this happened a lot of times during the game. The Packers were superior to the Giants in terms of offense, and that’s another reason why they ended up winning over time. The Packers have been a good team just on the road this amazing season, and the Giants could not make a dent on the offense of this famous team. The natural consequence of the superiority of the Packers` offense against the Giants is that the former ended up winning the game. This is not a surprise at all, and many fans a truly aware of this fact these days too.
Week 17 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Washington Redskins on Sunday, January 01, 1:00 PM, FedEx Field
1st January 2017, Americans were treated to a football game between the two old bitter rivals, the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. Unfortunately, the game did not up to the billing since the Washington Redskins’ player were very poor on that day. Everyone expected the Washington Redskins to rise to the occasion and win the game since they were playing against a team that already sealed its place at the NFC playoffs and they were also playing at home in their famous stadium, the FedEx field.
The Washington Redskins were poor from the start since they fell 10-0 down to the Giants in the first two quarters of the match. In fact, in the first half they only totaled a meagre 83 yards of offence. Anyway, that is understandable due to the quality defense of the New York Giants. However, in the third and fourth quarter, the Redskin managed to restore parity and 10-10, which was commendable of their fighting. Unfortunately, they conceded two late scores in the last quarter that made them lose 19-10 to the Giants, which indicated a lapse in concentration as grew weary.
The loss of Washington Redskins to Giants killed their hopes of qualifying for NFL play offs and left them with a long offseason to ponder about the future of the club, such as offering Cousins a new deal or let him go.
Week 16 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, December 22, 8:25 PM, Lincoln Financial Field
New York Giants must have felt there were in for an easy ride when they jammed the Philadelphia Eagles. Well this was really understandable given that the Giants had gotten more gigantic after recording eight victories out of their pervious nine games, surely their pride and confidence must have gotten more muscular. They were truly some rugby Goliath; truly giants at the moment. And who were they meeting? Uhhh, the Philadelphia Eagles, that would be like going to war against a nuclear power with bows and arrows. Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles were reeling from a five-game losing streak, the game would be such a delicious sporting meal for the Giants.
Yet the tables turned violently as the Giants had their towering pride dwarfed with a 24-19 defeat at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles would carve the mouths of the audience wide open in shock in the first quarter as they gave the Giants a 14-point lead, holding off tolerantly for a revolutionary win.
The Eagles’ secondary was very crucial in the victory. They managed to stage a three times interception of Eli Manning. Malcolm Jenkins was pretty impressive as he unveiled a new defensive dimension to his game. By the end of the day, the Eagles had pulled together 286 yards of offense rolling in sufficient plays to leave the Giants drowning in the pool of disappointed eyes of a massive audience. Do eagles roar? But then that was a roaring statement of resurrection from the Philadelphia Eagles transfusing some pints of hope into their fans.
Week 15 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Detroit Lions on Sunday, December 18, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Detroit Lions faced off against the New York Giants in what was a game changing match. The Lions were looking to maintain their five-game winning streak but their efforts were snapped by the Giants in a 17-6 loss. This loss drops the Lions to 9-5 this season. On the other hand the Giants now have 10-4. The match kicked off on high momentum for both teams. Detriot has not had the strongest offense throughout the season an aspect that could be costing the game huge losses. This time round the Detriot’s offense had a hard time trying to put the ball at the end zone.
On the other hand, New York dominated the match and maintained a low touchdown percentage especially in the red zone (43.2 percent). The lions had a strong defense which did an exceptionally great job in holding the New York’s to 17 points. Both teams had lost some of their key players to injuries with Lions losing Darius Slay and New York losing Janoris Jenkins. One of the most outstanding moment in the match was when Eli Manning passed 20-28 for 201 yards with two touch downs without any interceptions and ended up finishing the game with a 115.3 passer rating.

Week 14 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, December 11, 8:30 PM, MetLife Stadium
The recent loss of the Dallas Cowboys to the New York Giants makes the misfortune additionally bothering for Cowboys fans since Eli Manning made a decent attempt as he could to give away the diversion — with some assistance from his hostile line.
After a great touchdown drive late in the first quarter, the Cowboys’ offense over and again slowed down. Of the 13 first downs the offense gathered all through the diversion, three went ahead that scoring drive. The Cowboys just increased nine all the more amid whatever remains of the amusement.
Of the 15 drives the Cowboys offense had, nine finished in punts, one in a missed field objective and three ended turnovers. The final two were a touchdown and a turnover on downs to complete the diversion.
With all due respect, neither one of the interceptions was entirely his blame. His objective on both was Dez Bryant, and on the principal, Bryant fell amid his course, so the ball just cruised into the shield’s hands. On the second pick, Bryant appeared not to complete his course. He unquestionably didn’t seem to anticipate that the toss will come his way with the security high over the center.
There was just a single another beneficiary past the first down marker and Prescott was hoping to attempt and make the first down. The other recipient wasn’t open, and Bryant could have changed by the ball and at any rate kept it from the shield’s hands.
The Giants weren’t any better, with only 12 first downs by and large, yet they have hostile line issues and no run diversion. The Cowboys were relied upon to be better.
Week 13 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, December 04, 4:25 PM, Heinz Field
New York giants winning streak was put to an end on Sunday when they lost to Pittsburgh Steelers. The Giants were thrashed 24-14 in a scintillating game. The game was played at Heinz Field. In fact, the game had presented the New York Giants an opportunity to prove themselves as real contenders.
It was expected that the Giants would win this match but that was not the case. Steelers were pitted as the underdogs going into the match, however, they proved most people wrong. Shockingly, the Steelers were capable of controlling the game in front of 65,825 fans. All through the game, Giants had a hard time moving the ball.
The Steelers made attained an 11-0 lead when Antonio Brown was set for a 22-yard touchdown by Ben Roethlisberger following a Timmons’ return. (58-yard)
During the game quarterback, Eli Manning was able to complete 24 passes out of 39 he tried. Furthermore, he completed 2 interceptions and 2 touchdowns. In fact, the quarterback threw an important interception in the second quarter.
The Giants defense suffered a lot during the game after Jason Pierre-Paul suffered a groin injury. Jason went out in the second quarter and this contributed significantly to the Giants loss. Giants now find themselves behind the Cowboys by three games with four games to go.
It was a great achievement for the Steelers while it was a pandemic for the Giants. The Steelers totally out competed the New York Giants Pittsburgh. They must do more if they have to clinch the title within the remaining 4 games of the season.
Week 12 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Cleveland Browns on Sunday, November 27, 1:00 PM, FirstEnergy Stadium
New York Giants at Cleveland Browns was almost an obvious game, especially given the winning legacy of the Giants in the recent games. For the hosts, the 27-13 defeat was maintenance of their winless legacy in the season. The Quarter Back recorded a disappointing average play, with Manning Eli take over half of the days passes. The coordination between him and Beckham was not as fruitful with both of them missing the game at some point. Harris and Victor Cruz had perfect throws and team working that was always a tussle for the opponents.
The defense squad for the winners versus the attacking squad for the Browns was a display of skill and experience. Pierre, Harrison and Vernon created a string wall that rarely had holes, especially with Hankins always on sight against the opponents. Pryor made six remarkable catches, which was 50% of throws that came along his line. Another fantastic play was from Wing Brad, who had nine total punts with five of this being inside the 20. However, for players such as Trevin Wade, he seemed overconfident and slow to act which led to the Brown’s scoring an easy field goal. Sheppard was another player who played below his average, when compared to previous games.
Week 11 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Chicago Bears on Sunday, November 20, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Chicago Bears came into their game against the New York Giants with little hope after suffering defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . The Giants came into this one on a four game winning streak and were playing admirably on both sides of the ball. With such a foundation, the Bear still lost to the Giants 22-16 however
The Bears began the scoring off in the principal quarter on their first drive of the game. It truly was a story of two parts for the Giants defenders. Chicago would go up 9-6 taking after a 40 yard field goal by Connor Barth. The Bears had four great chances in the primary half and scored on their initial three
The second half had a place with the Giants. New York would tie the game on a nine yard touchdown go from Eli Manning to Will Tye. Chicago couldn’t answer the score or their next or consequent belonging. The Giants would lead the pack soon after the tying score when Manning hit Sterling Shepard for a 15 yard touch-down. That put it at 22-16 and with no scoring in the fourth by either group, that is the manner by which it would end.
This is the most noticeably awful season in late memory for the Bears’ and their fans. This game was a decent representation of what this group has been through in 2016. Injuries, lost goal chances and poor play.
Week 10 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, November 14, 8:30 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Cincinati Bengals were also the losing side on Monday night at the Metlife Stadium, New Jersey against the New York Giants. It was a close tussle with the final score being 21-20. The final touchdown resulted from the Bengals costly mistake and the Giants’ quarterback Manning connected perfectly with Sterling for the night’s final touchdown. The Giants offensive game was on display on Monday and at the final whistle saw them have 72 offensive plays as opposed to 55 defensive ones. Bengals were up by six but were overwhelmed by the Giants’ offense that saw them recover and get all the points.
The Bengals’ quarterback, Andy Galton, particularly had quite a bad night due to the overall failure to protect him. This rarely happened last season but in the last few games we have seen it happen constantly and it is a key place where they will have to improve in their coming games.The Giants coach, McAdoo, was impressed by the offense players and believes the team is set to be more confident after the game. He mainly emphasizes on an attacking play and has attributed the success to how well the team has grasped the concepts in training and their execution in the field.
Week 9 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, November 06, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The game kicked off at 1.00 PM on Sunday, Nov 6, and it happened at MetLife Stadium. It was a nail-biter, but the Giants went on to win it 28-23.
The Eagles didn’t impress their fans with their sloppy game and will have to feel disgusted when preparing for their next match. During the first minutes of the game, Carson Wentz had his two throws intercepted. However, the player emerged with the most yards and helped his side generate a total of 443 yards.
One of the major highlights of the game was the Darren Sproles’ 66-yard kick return which he made at the 15-yard line. The side didn’t manage a touchdown this time, and just went on with a down.
Zach Ertz and Jordan Hicks contributed heavily, but their side made mistakes that kept them behind. Najee Goode, Destiny Vaeao and Bryce Treggs also showed good game.
The Giants generated only 302 yards, and the smaller number was as a result of great defense from their opponents. They had two of their throws intercepted in the dying minutes of the game, but Philadelphia didn’t make use of the interceptions. They performed an awful secondary coverage that caused touchdowns from New York.
Week 7 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, October 23, 9:30 AM, Twickenham Stadium
The New York Giants beat the Los Angeles Rams (17 – 10), Case Keenum with four interceptions on Sunday 23rd October. First time in his career Keenum made very nice start, who finished 32 of 53 for 291 – yards and one touchdown. The Giants (4 – 3) managed their win while The Rams (3 – 4) loses their third match in sequence. 44 yards Collin first pick for a second – quarter touchdown. His right to left run in the field was really good making rams several tackles to draw the Giants even.
Stadium was full with more than 74,000 fans of The Giants. This factor also held Giants very much. Second pick of Collins was winning move, with 22 – yard catch by Odell to the Rams. Lot of them said that the pass rush and multiple coverage made this tough match to get back in the rhythm and hit it back massively with big plays. Collins who had only one interception until Sunday in his whole career said “I must have run at least 100 – yards on that day’
Eli Manning had a pedestrian day, with 24 0f37 for 196 – yards and no touchdown. Coach Fisher aid that the moves were slow and throws must be more precise, so needs many changes. Keesum remains the hero of match by his four interceptions. The Rams managed 20 first downs to The Giants 13
Week 6 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, October 16, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
It was tough game for the Giants. It came down to seconds at the goal line. Odell Beckham Jr. made every single one of his 222 yards count – most coming in the second half. It took a good twenty minutes before the Giants achieved the first 1st down of the match. They got their offense together in the second half. Eli Manning produced 403 yards – two of those bombs to Beckham of course — reminding everyone why they are a serious combination. This is the first time this year we are seeing Beckham let loose down the field, proving that he’s the best player on Metlife Stadium.
The Ravens had their moments of self-sabotage throughout the game. With fifteen penalties that amounted to 111 yards. Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace, in post-game interviews, said that it was more of the same mistakes as the last games – jumping off sides, delay of game, unnecessary roughness. It will not help the Ravens next week now that outside linebacker Terrell Suggs is out next week on a biceps injury. His ability to stop the run and force the running back upfield was integral to the Ravens’ defense against the Giants.
Week 5 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Green Bay Packers on Sunday, October 09, 8:30 PM, Lambeau Field
The Green Bay Packers improved their record to 3-1 last Sunday after defeating the New York Giants 23-16. That record is good enough for second place in the NFC North division behind the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. New York hoped to go into Lambeau Field and turn around their recent luck. The G-men had lost two in a row after a promising 2-0 start. New York now sits at the bottom of the NFC East with a record of 2-3. The impact of the Giants three losses is exacerbated because they were all close games. The Packers look like they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Many experts picked the Giants to win on the road. thanks to the injuries in the Green Bay secondary. Eli Manning and the offense came to Wisconsin hoping to take advantage of the weakened Green Bay secondary to no avail. On top of that, the Packers offense finally got things going. Both running backs, Eddie Lacey and James Starks, had great rushing days. The improved rushing game gave Aaron Rodgers time to throw the ball and hit his targets. The Giants did have a good day on defense. The unit held the Packers to 3 field goals on long drives. New York’s offense couldn’t get it going for the third week in a row putting just 16 points on the board.
Week 4 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings on Monday, October 03, 8:30 PM, U.S. Bank Stadium
The Minnesota Vikings got an opportunity to give their best NFL’s defenses’ show in the U.S. Bank Stadium, and they show it in a big way. Vikings’ best defense gave just 10 points and continued their undefeated arrival with the victory of 24-10. The Score was held midway went through the second quarter.
Bradford connected Kyle Rudolph then extra point by Blair walk put the score towards 14-0. Rudolph got second place in Vikings and as its 25th match of his career. That was the moment when home team went into their locker room with a lead of 14-3. When a game has gone to minutes left in finishing the third quarter, Vikings was in the lead to 17-3. But josh brown worked and added some extra points to 17-10. Jerick Mckinnon took it all over, and the score was hitting at the 24-10 level when the game had remaining nine minutes to end. Walsh at the time tried harder to get that score. This made the Vikings 4-0 in the season of 2016 and got the reputation in the top three undefeated teams. Eli, this time again wasn’t performed well against Vikings. Vikings position of 4-0 in the regular season, put them hosting Houston Texans on a Sunday afternoon. Their hard work in the game paid them to win over New York Football Giants at night of Monday. Giants position dropped to 2-2, and they will move to Lambeau Field to confront Green Bay Packers.
Week 3 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs Washington Redskins on Sunday, September 25, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Washington wins 29-27 over the new York Giants can rank as one of the greatest achievements in this season. They had an assist from several penalties and dumb plays. The win WAS unfair to the Redskins.
Washington Redskins will be without a perfect receiver. For the last two Wednesdays, Desean Jackson did not practice. He anticipated resting the remainder of this week just as it did with before meeting with New York Giants. He rested for the ankle and knee issues. The rest might cost his team.
The Redskins are now determined to leave New York with Victory. Chris Baker is motivating the team to get back on the right track.
The point that Skins lost both of their home games does not divine well for their first trip on the right track.
Washington has permitted the fifth most first downs, in spite of being in an inferior half of contrasting third downs. The plan predicts they cannot stop on either first, second or third down. Holding Drew Brees and Saints to 13 points require a lot of commitment. For this season the Giants have allowed just 5.3 Yards for each pass attempt.
Some Redskin players are supposedly turning on the quarterback, which indicates where Washington is at through just two weeks.
Week 2 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants vs New Orleans Saints on Sunday, September 18, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Many experts picked the New Orleans Saints visit to New York to play the Giants to be a repeat of last years game. You know, the one that ended 52-49 and had a total of 13 passing touchdowns. The experts were wrong. Both defenses showed up to Sunday’s contest with something to prove and the final score showed it. The Giants ended up prevailing with a 16-13 win over the now 0-2 Saints.
Remember those 13 TD passes? In this game, there was only one, a 17-yard strike from Drew Brees to Willie Snead in the 3rd quarter. That turned out to be the only offensive touchdown that would be scored. The Giants’ touchdown came as Janoris Jenkins returned a blocked Feild Goal for 65 yards in the 2nd quarter. The Saints will undoubtedly return to New Orleans feeling that they didn’t capitalize on opportunities in this game.
They won the turnover battle, forcing three Giants mistakes with none of thier own. With the victory, the Giants improve to 2-0 for the season and are tied with the Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East. The day wasn’t a complete loss for the Saints, though. Drew Brees passed Dan Marino on the all-time passing yards list. With 61,589 career passing yards he now only trails Peyton Manning and Brett Farve in that category.
Week 1 of NFL Season 2016: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, September 11, 4:25 PM, AT&T Stadium
The Dallas Cowboys hosted the New York Giants at their home only to be defeated by the 20-19 by the visiting team. With such a small win margin several things are to be considered so as to determine how the winning team actually pulled it off. In this game, the offensive plays and possession trophies go to the Cowboys. They were able to obtain 75 to 54 and 36:13 to 23:17 respectively.
The plays by the Cowboys were longer but resulted in fewer scores. They also mainly scored field goals with only a single touchdown. On the other hand, the Giants scored more touchdowns hence they were able to easily raise their scores. The Cowboys dominated most of the first half of the game. The Giants however overcame two holding penalties just before half time with Eli Manning scoring a 9-yard touchdown with only 7 seconds remaining on the clock.
The Giants quarter back would surge again in the last quarter with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz who goes on to score.
Week 4 of NFL Preseason 2016: New York Giants vs New England Patriots on Thursday, September 01, 7:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
New England Patriots at New York Giants was a great preseason match. The hosts had a hard time defending against the Patriots who beat them by 17-9 scores. Most of the main players were on the bench except Tom Brandy. With the Giants having recovered most of their injuries, their squad was intact and strong. The offense squad for the hosts had a hard time defending the aggressive attackers.
During the first half, the Giants had some remarkable plays thanks to Beckham Odell and Eli Manning. The two drives they made yielded some future scores with the liners of the Patriots looking confused. Although both defenses made thrilling strides, the centre play for the Patriots took the day. King Tavarres made great ball formations in the second half that ended up to scores.
For players such as Ryan Nassib, nothing seemed to work out for them. His offense lines were always poor and ended with just sixteen shots for 210 yards. Although he threw a breathtaking 13-yard to Sterling, most of his other throws were futile. Wade and Eli Apple made the Giant fans scream with their back coverage especially as the game caught momentum.
The coaches seemed not to include the big players of their teams. With this, the season matches might be unpredictable but the Patriots seem to have enough motivation for the game.
Week 3 of NFL Preseason 2016: New York Giants at New York Jets on Saturday, August 27, 7:30 PM, MetLife Stadium
This game was quite exiting as the New York Giants played quite well. It was also quite a phenomenon as both teams are from New York. This made the battle more spectacular as each needed to prove their expertise to the home crowds. It was the battle of New York. Harris was at his best when he scored the first touchdown as he streaked past the yards for the Giants. The Jets had difficulty in catching him.Odell Beckham Junior once again played his part in the game, too, by catching theball from the Giant pass. He too scored a touch down in the game.
However, the Jets kept at it and scored with a touch down in return. The Giants came back with another touch down. The most interesting part of the game was that it was a running game from the start, and both teams were doing the running. It was a strange thing for the Giants, though, as they have not been doing much running for the season.However, in the end the Jets made the win over the Giants in overtime. It was a hard running game, and the Giants lost by a bad kick.
Week 2 of NFL Preseason 2016: New York Giants at Buffalo Bills on Saturday, August 20, 4:00 PM, Ralph Wilson Stadium
New York Giants at Buffalo Bills, there has never been fan full in the history of NFL like this. When the Giants came face to face with the Bills you would never predict the results by the time the last whistle was blown. These guys all got to the field with a lot of energy and enthusiasm to show their fans that they are the best or in simple terms they care for their money and buying tickets for the game was not a waste.
Although with a lot of determination the Giants still lost shamelessly to the Bills by the end of the game the final score was 21 for the Bills and 0 for the Giants. This was not a good show. However there are a few things that led to the loss for the Giants. As a Giant instructor there are a number of things that I would to improve on the team’s aggressiveness.
There are a number of players that I would have done a replacement so as to get hold the teams ground for a better show against the opponents. Players like Bobby Hart should be the key movers of the game till the end of the game. Obarski is among the players that need to be reviewed again and again for the team’s improvement when the season starts or he may bring a drastic downfall to the Giants.
Week 1 of NFL Preseason 2016: New York Giants vs Miami Dolphins on Friday, August 12, 7:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Miami Dolphins were minus two of their best players Odell Beckham and Eli Manning, but this did not prevent them from winning 27 to 10 against the New York Giants. The era of Ben McAdoo began with a bit of dull and anti-climactic game which was sabotaged by an awful quarterback play by one of their player Ryan Nassib. As always, the first Miami Dolphins pre season game is sloppy, and this was not an exception.
McAdoo needs to advise and make this team play more disciplined and a higher level football. In this game, Turnovers were too many, and the Giants were a bit lucky that there weren’t a lot more. Nassib could have pulled off more than twice. The Giants luckily recovered six of their six muffs.
The Giants were on the offense which was not good. This was aided by the two Miami Dolphins penalties. The Giants team drove 74 yards in nine plays on their opening drive which made them score their only touchdown during that evening. The other points were set by a turnover which returned to the Dolphins 11-yard line. The Giants gained their first five downs on their first drive and only other seven on the remaining 13 drives. The passes made during the game were beyond pathetic accruing to a net of 69 yards. The running during the match was more productive with 158 yards rushing.
New York Giants NFL season 2015 recap
Injuries and irregularity from both ends of the ball plagued what should have been a pleasant way to cap off Tom Coughlin’s ornate legacy in New York.
The New York Giants might have done enhanced than their 6-10 record from 2014 would suggest thanks in large part to the 10th finest offense in the league in term of passing yards as well as total yards gained. Though, being the fifth-worst group in total defense in addition to third-worst alongside the run foiled any development made on the offensive end.
Fine, Coughlin is giving additional season of New York football a crack beforehand he calls it quits. Besides why would not he? The Giants completed previous season with a ton of benefit for the following year, as well as the 68-year old trainer does really have a great set of tools this 2015 to finish the team’s three-year playoff drought afterward winning Super Bowl XLVI.
New York’s blazing aerial attack propels the group towards more than just 8.5 win this season and eventually earn a playoff berth also as a division champ or else as a wild card. Manning obtains some MVP credit, and so does OBJ for Offensive Player of the Year reward. The defense moreover plays some enthused football en route to the team’s third Super Bowl journey in the previous decade.
Week 17 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, January 03, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Both teams seemed to have had an upper hand in different areas and this is exactly what makes the game so interesting. We saw that QB Eli Manning did a very good job at covering as much as he could without doing too much running. The Eagles on the other hand have made it a gambling game as they seem not to be concerned with covering anymore. This clearly gives the Giants the upper hand. Injury did not do the Giants any good during game day. Their average was 3.8 yards each time they attempted.
This gave the Eagles an upper hand in the game. There are also certain things that evened out the score between the two teams. First and foremost, we have the return of Dwayne Harris and kicker Josh Brown to the Giants. The Eagles were also favoured by the return of some members like Darren Sproles and Josh Huff. The Giants have about 20 players on the injured side and the Eagles will be getting a new coach soon. This is another factor that seems to have evened out the two teams in the game.
Week 16 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, December 27, 1:00 PM, TCF Bank Stadium
It’s difficult to picture a scenario where the Minnesota Vikings could have confirmed their place in the playoffs with a more commanding victory than the one they ran away with against the New York Giants. With a 49-17 win, Minnesota quarterback Teddy Bridgewater should be impressed with the performance of the squad under his leadership. The Vikings extended their winning streak at home with the win that vaults them close to the league’s greatest prize. Their commanding performance over the Giants should serve as notice to the next team before them that they have come to play as the stakes get higher.
Adrian Peterson proved his value to the team with 104 running yards and a touchdown. Not to be outdone, Jerick McKinnon scored twice in the fourth quarter to seal the fate of the Giants. Eli Manning is no doubt reviewing game tape and trying to re-assess the three interceptions that he allowed throughout the game. One could expect that hard decisions may be ahead for the Giants who have now been excluded from the post season for four straight years. The Giants’ strong start to the season had many predicting that they could go all the way, which just goes to show that anything can (and will) happen in the NFL.
Week 15 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs Carolina Panthers on Sunday, December 20, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Carolina Panthers have just shrugged off a record-tying New York Giants comeback with a wild 38-35 win at MetLife Stadium. It was Carolina’s 18th straight regular season victory. Panthers had to withstand a barn-storming comeback from the Giants on Sunday to maintain their perfect record. The Giants tied it when Odell Beckham Jr. got behind Norman for a 14 yard touch-down catch with 1:46 to go. Beckham, involved in a game long helmet-smacking, jawing and shoving session with Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, was suspended for one game because of his actions on the field against Norman.
The Panthers established a 28-point lead early on in the game. Giants then battled back to tie the score after trailing by 28-points in the 3rd quarter with 1:46 remaining, but the Panthers got to 14-0 lead on Graham Gano’s 43 yard field goal as time expired dashing New York’s hopes. Cam Newton, who threw for 5 touchdowns to further state his course for NFL Most Valuable Player honors, was not quite sure what he had just been through. Newton has thrown for nineteen touchdowns in the last 5 games and a career best 33 in this so-far special season. Play ranged from vicious to chippy, particularly since the Panthers banged Beckham around. The 18 straight-wins match the 3rd longest string in NFL history.
Week 14 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Miami Dolphins on Monday, December 14, 8:30 PM, Sun Life Stadium
The score was tied in the fourth quarter but thanks to a slipping of five yards by Odell Beckham Jr. behind the secondary which proved to be the winning margin that closed the game. An 84 yard touchdown is what put the game in the Giants hands with eleven minutes to spare on the clock. This also meant that there is now a three-way tie on the top of the NFC East. It was also a game that saw a career high for the Giants’ Eli Manning who had an 87 percent completion of passes.
The Giants’ (6 – 7) broke what was a three game losing streak with a win of 31 – 24 against the Miami Dolphins in a game that could have gone either way. The Dolphins (5 – 8) were thus eliminated from the race to the playoff bringing their drought to seven seasons which is a franchise record. The Dolphins’ who were really counting on this win could not match up to Beckham’s prowess and thus this led to the disappointing loss. It was really a great game and the Dolphins even brought their 50 greatest players to the field at half time which was in celebration of the franchise’s 50th season. Sadly, their season 2015 game isn’t living up the hisory of the franchise.
Week 13 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs New York Jets on Sunday, December 06, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The Giants are running out of time. They only have five short weeks to make the playoffs. If they fail they will have a four-year streak of not making the playoffs. Their Week 13 game against the Jets didn’t allow them to make any progress, with the final score being 23-20 in the Jets’ favor. The Jets only managed to gain 3 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second, and when the Giants had the ball in the second quarter the scored a whopping 20 points, making it appear as if they had the game in the bag.
However, their luck soon ran out with the Jets securing 10 points in the fourth quarter, tying up the game and pushing it into overtime. With the score 20-20, it looked like anybody’s game until Randy Bullock kicked a field goal for 31 yards, giving the Jets a 3-point lead and making the final score 23-20. This shocking victory for the Jets marked the Giants’ third straight loss. Things may have gone differently had Josh Brown succeed in kicking his field goal for 48 yards with 6:33 on the clock in overtime, but his slip-up ended up costing the Giants the game and setting them back even further during an already lackluster season.
Week 12 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Washington Redskins on Sunday, November 29, 1:00 PM, FedEx Field
The hyped rivalry between NFL teams New York Giants and Washington Redskins went down on November 29th at FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland. As expected the match was tough. Though Giants put up a good fight they ended up losing 14-20 to their opponents. Odell Beckham in particular had an impressive performance, he marked his 7th career game with a 140+ yards technical receiving. To put it into perspective, he surpassed Jerry Rice’s previous record of 6 such games in his initial two years of career play.
Another outstanding player was Will Tye, he made 45 successful snaps and snagged six catches for the 74 yards. He worked well with the team’s offense, despite 5 dropped passes with three of them coming from Jerome Cunningham, there were also some communication breakdowns which resulted in NY Giant’s ultimate loss. As for Redskins, they showed a better game right from the start and it eventually paid off. They had excellent coordination and team work which worked well in earning the team points. Their win is a major improvement considering that Redskins had earlier lost 44-16 to Panthers in Week 11, they looked unsalvageable but things have changed and now they are a favorite to win NFC East tournament.
Week 10 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs New England Patriots on Sunday, November 15, 4:25 PM, MetLife Stadium
The New England Patriots have a knack for winning games this season, and many teams around the NFL are trying to find ways to beat them. Last time the Patriots lost a regular season game was the football season of 2014, and their winning ways have continued to be the talk of the National Football League.
New England faced off against the New York Giants in what was a thriller of an ending. The result, sadly for the Giants, was that the Patriots won yet another game on their quest to be undefeated. Tom Brady seems to be on a mission this season in the wake of Deflategate, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Brady threw for over three hundred yards again and went 26 for 42 with two touchdowns and one interception as they beat the Giants 27-26 in what was looking to be the Giants upsetting the Patriots with just under two minutes left.
Josh Brown of the Giants put the ball threw the uprights with 1:47 to go but that is not how you beat the best team in the National Football League. Tom Brady drove the Patriots down the field and gave Stephen Gostkowski a chance to win by one. He didn’t miss.
Week 9 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, November 08, 4:05 PM, Raymond James Stadium
Struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell 18-32 to a well oiled New York Giants side at their own backyard. In the first quarter, the Giants took off with gusto to take it 10-6. Try as they could, the Bucs struggled to catch up with them, losing the second quarter 3-7. Realizing that they were actually buckling under the pressure of the Giants, the Bucs held off the Giants in the third quarter for long. However, they failed to break the resilient back line of the Giants, who soaked in all the pressure from the Bucs striking force before finally drawing 3-3 with them. In the last quarter, the Giants were no match for the Bucs, outwitting them 12-6 for a glorious victory that places them at 5-4.
Going forward, the Bucs, at 3-5, have their work cut out if they have to put their target for the season back into perspective. It is not an easy task though. Their next opponents, the Dallas Cowboys, lie in wait, themselves having won only two matches since the season took off. On the other hand, the Giants have a morale boosting victory that will spur them better results against their next opponents, the New England Patriots, who have not lost any game this season. It will be a tough one for the Giants, so they cannot afford to rest on their laurels.

The Giants and Saints game ended 52-49 with the Giants losing to the Saints (4-4) in New Orleans.
The Giants and Saints had a total of 64 first downs. The most fantastic thing is that they could have scored more. especially, the facemask penalty on the Giants during the last moments of the game.

The game saw eight players scoring touchdowns, and other three scoring multiple times for instance Odell Beckham Jr.’s three touchdowns

The Giants coach, Coughlin registered his 100th win and put his name in the history books. He is now the second coach in giant’s history to register 100 wins.
New York had Dwayne Harris to thank for this incredible win. The former Dallas player had an incredible game scoring the winning points of the game. The Cowboys made some mistakes like losing an interception deep in New York’s territory and their mistakes cost them the game. It is worth noting that Orleans Darkwa was able to score a 15-yard run for New York in the first quarter.

Week 6 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, October 19, 8:30 PM, Lincoln Financial Field
The game between Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants was a great win for the Eagles who are currently 3-3 on the 2015 NFL regular season schedule due to the game’s final score of 27-7. It was a difficult game for the Giants who have managed only three turnovers during their first 328 offensive plays over a number of five games. The Giants didn’t come down easily because they gave it their best during Monday’s game and this was probably the best they’ve played all season.
The game started well for the Giants with Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who unfortunately had a hamstring injury and could not practice the week before the game, had a good run during opening and ended up with an excellent touchdown over 13 yards. This great lead did not hold down for long and their game wasn’t good enough to keep the Eagles away, who ended up taking the ball away three times in just 14 plays. The Eagles ended up turning the game and had an impressive head start of 24:5 in the first quarter. The Monday win for the Eagles and the recent poor performance by the rest of the NFC East teams, Philadelphia Eagles are now on top of the division!

The San Francisco 49ers lost their fourth consecutive game of the new season after merely losing to the New York Giants 27-30. The Giants on the other hand have won their last three consecutive games which places them at pole position in the NFC East standings. After losing three games in a row, the 49ers were deemed as the under dogs and the likely winners of this bout especially after making a memorable comeback in the third and fourth quarter. The damage was however done in the dying seconds of the game when Larry Donnell made a spectacular catch to beat two 49ers defenders to put the game to rest.
Carlos Hyde converted a 2-yard run with only 1:45 minutes left to give the 49ers a much needed lead in the final round. The attacking combination of Manning, Odell Beckham Jr and Donnell seemed too much for the 49ers defenders to withstand. Beckham played a great role in the first touchdown of the game when he made a 31 yard reception as well as a 15 yard catch which lead to a 17 yard score. Though he left the field of play with a hamstring injury, his contributions were enough to dent any hopes that the 49ers had.
Week 4 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants at Buffalo Bills on Sunday, October 04, 1:00 PM, Ralph Wilson Stadium
A nightmare that was recurring is what the Giants were going through again in the middle of the fourth quarter. Having dominated earlier on in the game and this coming in the wake of them being the underdogs against the Bills. Struggling to maintain their lead in the fourth quarter but this did not come as a surprise as they have been doing this in each of their three previous games this season.
Finding their energy real late in the game, the Bills pulled 6 points, and they were unstoppable from then on with the home fans roaring and urging them on to victory.The Giants had a good game, and you could tell by the way Eli Manning handled most of the play. It was a deserving win for the Giants who maintained their composure in the fourth quarter to make the game a one-way affair.
The Bills were really disappointing again, and you can’t blame them really, they lack the power to hold on to a lead and that is what cost them dearly on Sunday and in the other three previous games. Congratulations to the Giants for such a deserving victory.
Week 3 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs Washington Redskins on Thursday, September 24, 8:25 PM, MetLife Stadium
This was the first victory for Giants, winning by a margin of 11 points; final score was 32-21.
Giants lead through 18-6 in the third quarter when they had their key moment. Wining by two digits entering the second-half time has been their weakness. The Redskins almost made a touchdown which could have turned the game around when they ran from 24-yard line over to the giants’ 34 yard line but Kennard guessed Cousins pass towards Carrier and it was cut off by Unga with only 13.46 left of time to play. Giant’s player Odell Beckam Jr. scored a strike placing the score at 25-6 with an eight-play. From here of noteworthy Manning did a 41-yard-touchdown pass to Randle, Ross return a 101-yard kickoff and a glimpse on Whitlock on defensive tackle.

Week 2 of NFL Season 2015: New York Giants vs Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, September 20, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
Two flawed teams went head to head in this game, one had a win, the other had a loss. Now both teams have 2 of each. The Falcons pulled out a win by the skin of their teeth to go 2-0.
The Falcons outscored the Giants 14-0 in the fourth quarter to pull out this win, including the touchdown that won them the game with under two minutes left in the game. Two plays after a big 37 yard catch from Matt Ryan to Julio Jones, they scored a much needed touchdown to win the game.
The Giants just could not pull out a win and they ended up beating themselves yet again. The momentum had shifted in their favor and had an opportunity to pull ahead 17 points, they wound up blowing their lead in the fourth quarter and losing by 4. Part of the Giants’ problem is their defense allows a lot of third down conversions, forcing many drives to continue.
Just because the Falcons won, doesn’t mean they do not have a lot of work to do moving forward. They just have a have better record starting out and in a division as tough as the NFC South, it could be the difference between watching the playoffs at home and playing in them.

The New York Giants will be thirsty for a win when they face Atlanta Falcons who will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday 14th. The Cowboys on the other hand will be looking for their second win they face Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday the 20th.
New York Giants NFL season 2014 recap
The New York Giants finished off the 2014 season third in the NFC East Division with 6 win and 10 losses – not a stellar year for the Giants and it was hardly a surprise when they didn’t make it to the playoffs. There is some talk now that team owner Mara is extremely angry and that the coach has some serious issues to iron out.
The game against the Philadelphia Eagles was particularly embarrassing with the Giants not scoring a single point. Overall, this was a lackluster and frustrating season for the Giants – here’s hoping that things improve for them in 2015.
Week 17 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, December 28, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The New York Giants couldn’t prevent Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez from throwing two touchdowns in a defeat that could be Tom Coughlin’s final game as the Giants head coach. The game remained close until the third quarter when Eagles tight end Trey Burton blocked a Giants punt and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. That was the seventh touchdown of the season for the Eagles’ special teams unit, which has been through a very difficult season. The victory for the Eagles means they will end the season with a 10-6 record. However they have been out of playoff contention since last week when they lost their third game in a row.
The Giants have now missed the playoffs for the third straight season after closing this campaign with a 6-10 record. The only real positive from the defeat for the Giants was rookie Odell Beckham Jr. recording a career-high 185 yards from 12 catches, one of which included a 63-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to keep the Giants in the game. Rumors are now circulating about the future of coach Tom Coughlin, who has won two Super Bowl titles during 11 seasons with the Giants. Coughlin refused to comment after the game about what the future holds for him and the Giants.

Giants rookie receiver Odell Beckham Jr had a big day with 148 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He broke the Giants rookie records of Jeremy Shockey for most touchdowns in a season and also most receptions. On one reception, Beckham was hit late out of bounds by Rams linebacker Ogletree leading to a huge fight and four players were ejected. The Giants scored first, kicking a field goal.

Week 15 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants vs Washington Redskins on Sunday, December 14, 1:00 PM, MetLife Stadium
The 166th meeting between division rivals, Washington Redskins and New York Giants, left the Redskins in despair. Manning was on fire against the Redskins as he hit Beckham with three consecutive touchdown passes and completing 28 of his 39 passes. The passes combined with one overturned touchdown let the Giants to victory in a 24-13 win over the Redskins. The Good news cannot continue with the Redskins’ quarterback, McCoy, who has a neck injury that did not allow him to return to the game. This gave Cousins a chance to play, where he had 4 interceptions and one fumble all in the second half. An early hole from a first-quarter turnover began the Redskins long run to a loss. The Redskins almost blew a touchdown at the end of the first half with a fumble.
Griffin was able to recover it and scramble for an 8 yard touchdown. Unfortunately review of the play showed that Griffin lost control of the ball while diving over a pylon and the play was ruled a touchback. This play caused receiver Santana Moss to storm the officials and be ejected from the game. With the Redskins’ fire extinguished, the Giants took over the second half. A 76 yard drive, with 5 catches, clinched the game for the New York Giants leaving the Redskins on their losing streak.
Week 14 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants at Tennessee Titans on Sunday, December 07, 1:00 PM, LP Field
After registering disappointing results of narrow losses in weeks twelve and thirteen, the Giants were finally able to break the losing jinx in week fourteen. They tore apart the Tennessee Titans, posting an impressive 36-7 result. The clueless Titans were unable to make any inroads in the Giants territory in the first two quarters. They managed to get the only points in the third quarter. This was their seventh straight loss and the eleventh of the season. The team had never lost so many games in a row since 1994 when they lost eleven in a row, playing as the Houston Oilers. In this game, they received wild disapproval from their fans, with some of them booing and jeering them, while others wore paper bags on their heads.
The Giants defied their injury woes to win the game. Rashad Jennings, the running back, was out with a knee injury, together with seventeen others. Ken Wisenhunt, the Titans coach, acknowledged his teams tough luck this season. He said that his charges are working hard and it is just but a matter of time and they shall be out of the woods. But when is soon? One wonders. While the Giants will be tackling the Redskins in their next game, the Titans will be facing the the Jets in bottom of the table duel. The Giants will rely on inspiration from this victory in their endeavor to maintain their winning ways against the the Redskins.

Week 12 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, November 23, 8:30 PM, MetLife Stadium

These two teams have been NFL rivals since time in memorial. They have played against each other in 105 matches.

QB Colin Kaepernick had 193 yards and a touchdown. The Giants had their chances, including a goal line chance with 4:43, but Manning was intercepted by rookie LB Chris Borland. The loss puts the Giants in the midst of a five game losing streak, after starting the season 3-2. San Francisco, meanwhile, has won consecutive road games.

Week 10 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, November 09, 4:25 PM, CenturyLink Field

DeMarco Murray continued his march to a record breaking season as an NFL running back for the Dallas Cowboys. He was able to rush for over one hundred yards once again. The Cowboys are now 6-1. Tony Romo and Jason Witten were able to exploit some of the holes in the Giants defense, particularly with a veteran linebacker being taken out of the game with a toe injury. Dez Bryant continues to progress as the show stopping receiver that was able to make plays against Prince Amukamara and Antrell Rolle.
George Selvie and Barry Church are really starting to emerge for the Cowboys on the defensive side of the ball, particularly Selvie who is really taking to the gang tackle, everybody get involved type of system that is being run by defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli. Selvie had four tackles in the game. Larry Donnell fumbling twice in the game certainly stopped the momentum for the Giants by fumbling twice as a tight end. The fumbles played a key part in the outcome of a 31-21 game. Odell Beckum is emerging as the number one target for Eli Manning, particularly with Victor Cruz being out of the lineup. The Giants simply did not exploit a cornerback like Brandon Carr in the proper fashion. Carr has shown a propensity to get burned on a deep ball in the past.
Week 6 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, October 12, 8:30 PM, Lincoln Financial Field
Over the past few weeks Eli Manning has been leading his team to victories and improving his game skills until Sunday night’s game against Philadelphia. The Giants became minions as the Eagles defense shut them down resulting into a big goose egg. Philadelphia’s defense manages to continue to take down offensive lines all over the NFL. Lesean McCoy showed that he is back from his sleeper position by doubling his yards for the season and adding 22 carries. He manage to break his season high with 149 yards this game.
He still has not scored a touch down but he is showing promise that he is back to the Lesean that everyone has grown to love.

Manning lost Victor Cruz during week 6 possibly for the rest of the season, allowing Odell Beckham to step in. Even with Randle and Beckham out there Manning only managed to throw 13 completions in the game. The Giants were not the only ones that featured a loss in this game.

Week 4 of NFL Season 2014: New York Giants at Washington Redskins on Thursday, September 25, 8:25 PM, FedEx Field
The Washington Redskins hosted the New York Giants at their backyard in Washington. However, their home advantage counted for nothing as they were outsmarted 14-45 by the recharged Giants. Their third loss of the season prompted their coach to call for time off the pitch to reflect on the results and to dig in for new strategies going forward. So, this past weekend has been quite a breather for them. They resumed training on Tuesday, still looking dazed by the 28th Thursday loss. Both teams desperately needed victory in this game to put their season back on track.
However, it was the Giants who seemed to have a working strategy for the game. The Redskins were outsmarted, outwitted and outplayed in all departments. Their defense did not have an answer for the explosive offense of the Giants. Neither did their offense trouble the solid defense of the Giants. On Tuesday, they went through the paces for an hour and 15minutes under the watchful eye of coach Jay Gruden. They will rest on Wednesday as a ‘bonus day’, before resuming on Thursday to plot how to get past the Seattle Seahawks come Monday. Their win-loss record for the season now reads 1-3, while that of the Giants is now 2-2. The victory was a great morale booster for the Giants as they prepare to face the Falcons on Sunday 5th Oct.

Let us start with the good ‘ yes the good. You could call Peyton Hillis and Brandon Jacobs resurgence a good thing that happened on that season. This is especially given the fact that coming back from the dead is not an easy task. Aside from that, there were really some good in the Giants 2013 season. It just did not emanate from the offensive side of their play. The New York Giants, despite the fact that they finished in 10th place when it came to passing yards, they finished with the 6th-best pass defense in the league.

The Giants weren’t all that bad were they?
However, on second thought maybe the season was that terribly bad for the Giants. For starters, their defense in 2013 was underrated and they were literally getting slapped. Taking a quick look at the fantasy football, David Wilson was for many a break out candidate, but failed to match up to the expectations of many. He only needed 44 carries to be ranked the 8th worst running back in the league.
However, let’s not dwell on that much. Let’s have a look at Eli Manning, who had an even worse year. Manning finished the season with the 4th worst passing NEP in the whole of the league, coming after two rookies. He lost 43.56 points effectively for the Giants in the entire season.
