“At this point, it’s due time for people to use their voices they have”, Jenkins said.
But Odell Beckham Jr. produced one of the more weird celebrations after his first score on Sunday, in the Giants 24-27 defeat to the Eagles in Philadelphia. But it was enough for Wentz to complete a 19-yard pass along the sideline to Alshon Jeffery with one tick left. Elliott was a fifth-round pick by the Bengals and joined the Eagles after Caleb Sturgis was injured in Week 1.
Teammates Najee Goode and Kamu Grugier-Hill carried Elliott off the field in celebration as the home crowd roared. He said I peed on somebody, so I was trying to find the imaginary ghost that I peed on.
A 28-yard punt by the Giants’ Brad Wing gave the Eagles the ball at their own 38-yard line with 13 seconds left in a tie game. You have to tip your hat to them.
In a Week 3 battle against the Philadelphia Eagles they referred to as a “must-win”, the New York Giants found themselves on the losing end following a last second 61-yard field goal. They have done a awful job protecting quarterback Eli Manning, and it has hurt their passing game. It’s also worth mentioning that the Giants only had 49 total rushing yards on 17 attempts.
On a hot, humid day, the NFC East rivals looked sloppy for the first three quarters.
Giants coach Ben McAdoo was in no laughing mood after an 0-3 start and he had an equally strong reaction to Trump’s message.
But the penalty was not costly. According to the New York Post, this Giants team is bad, and no matter the defensive or offensive deficiencies, the malaise and general ineptitude that extends back almost five years, will continue to plague this team.
Beckham then made an unbelievable one-handed catch 106 seconds later in the corner of the end zone. “Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the National Football League, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities”. He broke up three passes and intercepted a ball tipped by linebacker Mychal Kendricks.
The Redskins were in control throughout the game, as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead after three quarters.
Elliott missed from 52 yards earlier in the game and last week missed from 30 yards and shanked an extra point. “Calmness”, Pederson said after the game of letting Elliott try the kick. “You have ups and downs, and you move onto next week”.
Asked what he regretted about the call, McAdoo said: “I think they had better angles than we had”.
Philadelphia rushed for 193 yards on the day, with Wentz passing for just 176 and one touchdown. Beckham later caught another TD pass from Manning. During the course of writing this, Manning has thrown another interception, following a quick screen to Brandon Marshall for four yards. They did so by winning 11 of their final 12 games to win the AFC West.
On fourth and 2, defensive tackle Tim Jernigan managed to get pressure on Eli Manning as he targeted Shepard once again. Rookie Corey Clement and quarterback Carson Wentz each had six carries for 22 yards.
I listed Sproles as a sleeper last week and he came through, but the Eagles running back rotation is in full swing. The loss to Andy Reid drops the Eagles to 1-1, while my record remains spotless at 2-0. The big story on this drive though, was the huge pass interference call on Eli Apple that gave the Eagles 36 free yards.
