Eli Manning Replaces Daniel Jones Again As New York Host Miami
The veteran quarterback who made 242 consecutive starts for the New York Giants before being benched for the rookie Daniel Jones will make his 244 start on Sunday against Miami and second straight start since replacing the rookie as the starter on Monday night in Philadelphia who is yet again out because of injury “according to https://www.giants.com/news/daniel-jones-injury-update-eli-manning-dolphins-week-14-2019
Daniel Jones isn’t the only player out though for New York as tight end Evan Ingram is also out. Evan Engram was also ruled out of Sunday's game. The third-year tight end has missed the previous four games with a foot injury. Engram has 44 catches for 467 yards and three touchdowns in eight games this season. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/daniel-jones-injury-update-eli-manning-dolphins-week-14-2019
While the New York Giants have two players out Miami meanwhile will get a couple of their players back.
Miami Dolphins top receiver DeVante Parker has been cleared from the concussion protocol and he's expected to play Sunday vs. the New York Giants. “according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Parker suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's 22-21 loss to the New York Jets. He did not return after hitting his head on the ground following a difficult catch along the sideline. “according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Albert Wilson was cleared from the concussion protocol as well, meaning the Dolphins will have their two starting receivers back Sunday.”according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Parker's return comes after he agreed to a four-year contract extension on Friday evening that is set to keep him in a Dolphins uniform through 2023. The extension is worth up to $40 million with an $8 million signing bonus and more than $20 million guaranteed, according to a source.”according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Parker and Wilson practiced throughout the week, donning red noncontact jerseys as limited participants Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to working the full session with those restrictions Friday. “according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
The Dolphins' offense has centered around Parker since Preston Williams went on injured reserve in early November.”according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Parker has a career-high 882 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season, and maybe most importantly he hasn't missed a game yet for the first time in his NFL career. “according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
Wilson has 26 catches for 154 yards and one touchdown in a season that has been slowed by multiple injuries.”according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28298285/dolphins-wrs-devante-parker-albert-wilson-clear-concussion-protocol
New York and Miami aren’t have impressive seasons as the New York Giants who are a member of the NFC East come into the game with a record of 2-11 while Miami who is a member of the AFC East comes into the game with a record of 3-10.
As for New York’s previous game,
They lost at Philadelphia in overtime on Monday night.
The Giants turned back the clock for one half Monday night, back to a time when their offense executed proficiently and their defense was the best unit on the field. They even had Eli Manning throwing touchdown passes again as they jumped out to a 14-point halftime lead.
But once the second half began, the harsh reality that is their 2019 season hit the Giants square in the jaw. In those final 30 minutes, they scored zero points, gained just 29 yards and punted on six consecutive possessions. The Philadelphia Eagles scored 20 unanswered points – including a pair of late two-yard touchdown receptions by tight end Zach Ertz – to escape rain-swept Lincoln Financial Field with a 23-17 overtime victory. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
For the first time since Sept. 15, Manning was the starting quarterback, the job he held for 15-plus seasons. He threw two touchdown passes to rookie Darius Slayton in the first half but couldn’t lift the offense out of its second-half malaise. The Giants ran only 21 plays in those two quarters. Philly ran 53.
Manning completed 15 of 30 passes. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
Rosas kicked a 34-yard field goal to contribute to the Giants’ 17-3 halftime lead.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
The Giants seemed to be in a strong position when the half began. Not only did they own a 14-point lead, the Eagles were missing some of their most productive players. Their leading rusher, Jordan Howard, and second-best wide receiver, Nelson Agholor, were inactive. No. 1 wideout Alshon Jeffery lehttps://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019ft the game in the first half with a foot injury, leaving Philly with just two healthy receivers.”according to
But the Eagles kept charging with previously little-used players. Third-string tight end Joshua Perkins, playing just his second game since joining the roster off the practice squad, caught five passes, matching his total for the entire 2018 season. Running back Boston Scott, who entered the game with 94 rushing yards and one catch, had a team-leading 59 yards on the ground and added six receptions.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
And the Giants joined the long list of teams that have trouble stopping Ertz, who caught a game-high nine passes and leads all NFL tight ends with 79 receptions. On third-and-goal from the two, he slipped inside rookie safety Julian Love and scored to cap a 14-play, 85-yard drive and tie the game at 17-17 with 1:53 remaining in the fourth quarter. “according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
The Giants had a chance to win in regulation, but Sidney Jones knocked away Manning’s third-down pass for Slayton, forcing them to punt.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
Rosas kicked a 34-yard field goal to contribute to the Giants’ 17-3 halftime lead.”according to https://www.giants.com/news/philadelphia-eagles-monday-night-football-recap-highlights-week-14-2019
Like the New York Giants Miami lost their previous as they were knocked off by the team the New York Giants share Metlife Stadium with.
22-21 score, a team-record seven field goals from Jason Sanders proving not quite good enough.
Rookie cornerback Nik Needham appeared to make a good play, breaking up a third down pass by the Jets. Out of field goal range, the Jets would have had to convert a fourth-and-18 and even then they were out of timeouts and there were just 43 seconds left. “according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
But under new NFL guidelines, a potential pass interference penalty can be reviewed and in this instance it was determined that Needham had committed the penalty despite no call on the field. The Jets got the first down and drove to that game winning field goal.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
It was the type of penalty that could have gone either way, just like this game. The NFL normally doesn’t reverse calls like that unless it is blatant. From these eyes, it sure didn’t look blatant.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
I’m sure through Flores’ eyes as well. You could see his displeasure as he walked off the field. His team had worked hard to be in position to win, played the type of full throttle game we are now seeing so often from these players. The defense in particular played well, stuffing the Jets on a fourth-and-one late in the third quarter and coming up with some big stops with the game on the line.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanderhttps://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatricks-ryan-fitzpatrick
Until that pass interference changed the complexion of everything.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
“I’m not going to answer any calls about the officiating,” Flores said afterward. “I was upset we lost the game.” “according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
I continue to be impressed with the way Flores handles this job. The passion he shows. The leadership he exudes. The way he cares deep down to the bone. We saw all of that after the officials made that call and then, a few minutes later, we saw the composure that is so much a part of his DNA as well. “according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
Truth is, the Dolphins had plenty of opportunities to put this game away before that final field goal by the Jets. Remember all the talk about their red zone success over the past month or so? Well, not Sunday. Four trips and 13 plays in the red zone produced no touchdowns, only four field goals. The other three from Sanders were outside the red zone.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
The first possession of the game may have hurt the most. The Dolphins went 92 yards on 16 plays, but all they could get out of it was a field goal. You run that many plays, convert that many third downs, and go the length of the field and you’ve got to get seven points out of it. That unfortunately became a prevailing storyline.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
But it wasn’t the only storyline. How about the step-up performance of wide receiver Isaiah Ford replacing DeVante Parker, who left with concussion symptoms? Or the way running back Patrick Laird, starting his first game, came on so strong in the fourth quarter? Or that fourth-and-one stop alluded to earlier that saw linebacker Raekwon McMillan in the backfield almost before the running back touched the ball?”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
Still, with the exception of Sanders and his seven field goals, there was no storyline quihttps://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrickte like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Maybe, after what we saw Sunday, we should start calling him FitzFeet?”according to
How much fun is it watching him play? I mean the guy does things every Sunday that leaves you wondering what could be next. On this day, it was his feet that did most of the talking, Fitzpatrick rushing for 50 yards on five carries in the first half alone and finishing with 65 yards on eight carries, breaking the team’s single game rushing record by a quarterback. Remarkable.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
It isn’t that he wants to run; it’s just that he knows when to get out of the pocket and once he’s in open field, well, in no manner whatsoever does he resemble a 37-year-old, 15-year veteran. With all the changes at running back, Fitzpatrick leads the team in rushing among the players on the active roster. Think about that. Let is resonate for a minute. And yes the birth certificate has been checked. He is 37.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
In one series late in the first half, we saw him at his running best, first going 20 yards, weaving his way up the field for a key first down, then running another 14 yards before flipping the ball to tight end Clive Walford for another first down. Do we have an option quarterback in the making? The next play? Another Fitzpatrick scramble, this time for six yards.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
But it wasn’t enough. Nor were those seven field goals by Sanders. The Dolphins, plain and simple, couldn’t produce a single touchdown and that’s always difficult to overcome.”according to https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/another-gutsy-effort-falls-just-short-jason-sanders-ryan-fitzpatrick
Kick-off is set for 1:00pm from Metlife Stadium. The game will be televised on CBS.
