Giants try to snap a three-game skid against Miami Dolphins
Even though both the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants are 5-7 heading into the final quarter of the season, they are still both alive in their respective conference playoff races. The game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants is scheduled to take place on Monday, December 14, 2015, at 8:30 p.m. ET at Sun Life Stadium. The matchup will be broadcast on ESPN.
The New York Giants that don’t have a particularly good offense, have arguably the best receiver in the league right now. Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr.makes catches that just shouldn’t be humanly possible. He has five straight 100+ yard games and at least one touchdown in four of the five. So far Beckham has 78 catches, 1,154 yards and a team-leading 10 touchdowns, and he leads the world in one-handed catches. The real variable though, is how bad the Giants are on defense. They’ve allowed a ton of passing touchdowns this year to seemingly every opponent.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is likely going to throw a pick in this game and he’s probably throwing a touchdown as well. Wide receiver Jarvis Landry will make some plays, but the rest of the passing game is likely to be pretty dull. The Miami Dolphinsdefense pretty much can’t stop much on offense. They rank No. 22 in the league against the pass and No. 30 against the rush. They give up an average of 25.0 points per game, a number which includes giving up at least 33 points three times since the start of November. Miami’s pass defense is woeful at 255.6 yards per game, so it’s clear that Eli Manning is going to have another one of these games where he puts the ball in the air at least 35-40 times. That’s all good news for Beckham.
