The G-men stay alive after another MNF game!
After dropping three consecutive games and losing their lead in the NFC East, the New York Giants were on the road for a must-win game against the Miami Dolphins. While the team has a non-favorable remaining schedule against the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, the G-Men made sure they captured a winnable game in South Beach.
With Eli Manning playing like a franchise quarter in rare fashion, Odell Beckham Jr. put up another prime-performance – with 7 catches, 166 yards and 2 touchdowns. One of the TDs came in the third quarter, where New York saw a first-and-goal opportunity to surprise Miami’s secondary and sneak in single coverage for their star wide-out to complete another impossible catch in the end-zone.
As you can see above, Odell properly placed his feet inside and slid literally inches to make the game-tying completion. While it’s unlikely that the Giants make the post-season, given their difficult remaining schedule, this play alone is something fans will be talking about throughout the week.
FINAL: NYG 31 | MIA 24
