EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Questionable penalty calls, a great audible by Eli Manning, a dazzling 66-yard catch and run by Odell Beckham Jr., and a last-second pass knocked down in the end zone.That was just some of the wackiness Sunday at MetLife Stadium.The struggling New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens came into Sundays game at MetLife Stadium riding losing streaks and not playing their best on offense. Not much was expected.Then, the last two minutes were as exciting as they can get in New Yorks 27-23 win.The Giants (3-3) lost the lead with 2:04 to play, regained it 40 seconds later on the 66-yard catch and run by Beckham, then held off a last-ditch Ravens drive that reached the 24-yard line thanks, in part, to a debatable roughing- the-passer call on a fourth-down incompletion that should have sealed New Yorks win.This was huge, Giants receiver Victor Cruz said after they snapped a three-game losing streak. These wins are ones that we have to continue to mount up to stay in the conversation and continue to compete in the division, but also the entire league.The Giants saw their chances of winning damaged by referee Jeff Triplette and his crew twice in the final minutes.Baltimore took the lead after cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was called for pass interference at the 8-yard line. On the play, both he and receiver Breshad Perriman were looking back for the ball. If anything, Perriman seemed to interfere with the defender.The call went the other way, and Terrance West scored from 2 yards three plays later to give the Ravens a 23-20 lead.Rodgers-Cromartie refused to criticize the call that another teammate, who didnt want to be identified because of fine possibilities, called horrible.Im fighting with him and hes looking at the ball. Thats legal, Rodgers-Cromartie said, adding he did not argue because thats the way he is.Facing a fourth straight loss, the Giants rallied. They needed only four plays to retake lead, with Beckham and Manning connecting on that clutch 66-yard slant on fourth-and-1.Manning came to the line and saw the Ravens playing man-to-man defense. He changed the play to go to Beckham, who earlier caught a 75-yard TD pass and finished with eight catches for a career-best 222 yards.He did a good job of beating the guy and making him fall down, said Manning, who threw for 403 yards. You hit him in stride and good things happen.Beckham almost cost the Giants, though, which seemed fitting considering the wild nature of the final minutes. After scoring with 1:24 to play, he took off his helmet and was assessed a 15-yard penalty.The Ravens got the ball back at their 32 and Joe Flacco immediately hit passes of 13 and 11 yards. On fourth-and-5 from the New York 39, Flacco threw an incompletion, but drew a late-hit call on Owa Odighizuwa, giving Baltimore a first down at the Giants 24 with 15 seconds to play.Rodgers-Cromartie defended Mike Wallace on two passes and Flaccos pass into the end zone to Dennis Pitta was knocked down.It was the 20th time in 22 games that the Ravens outcome was decided by eight points or less.Were a .500 team, Baltimore safety Eric Weddle said. We are 3 and 3 in tight games. Weve won some, weve lost some. We could easily say we could be 5 and 1. Or we could be 0 and 6. Its a long season. Its about being consistent.Its been exciting, though, as the Giants found out seeing Beckham save their day with his last touchdown.Listen man, to sit back as a player and just watch that, its amazing, man, Rodgers-Cromartie said of Beckham, who left the game in the first half with a hip pointer. He gives you boost that you need as a defense to say, `Man, this guy here is out here on fire. . So you go out there (as a defense) with a little swag not to let them in.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Air Max 90 Australia Free Shipping .

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season.Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie is trying to treat Thursdays game against Elon like any other. That might not be so easy, because McCallies daughter, Maddie, plays for the Phoenix.Ive always known the game was on the schedule, but it always seemed so far off. Well, now its here, the coach said.Elons a great school. Elons a little mini Duke, she added. We pay them money and that helps their program, so it made sense. I felt it was the right thing.But the rarity of coaching against her daughter, a reserve guard at Elon, wasnt lost on McCallie.Its a good story, she said. I feel honored for my family. I also have two nieces who play Division I basketball.Maddie McCallie is just excited for the chance to play at No. 21 Duke in its famous home building, Cameron Indoor Stadium.Its going to be a great atmosphere and a lot of fun to play in Cameron, Maddie McCallie said. Its a little weird seeing my mom right there on the sideline, but overall its another game.As much as the McCallies downplayed their mother-daughter matchup, it is definitely unusual. Cal State Bakersfield coach Greg McCall has gone against his daughter, Erica, twice over the last two seasons when his team played Stanford.Although college players often play for their coaching parents, McCallie was happy her daughter chose Elon after transferring from Miami, Ohio, a few years ago.Im really proud of her and shes at the right place for her, McCallie said. I think its unique. One thing it speaks to, as much as Id like Maddie on my team and she could have been, its really important to let your kids do their own thing. It would be fun; I didnt think it was something that would help her develop. A lot of parents dont know how to step away, and try to over-coach their kids. The best thing you can do is love them and step away and let other people coach them.Elon is only about 45 minutes from Duke, so McCallie has gone to see her daughter play a few times this year. Because the teams are scheduled to face each other, she had Maddie ask Elon coach Charlotte Smith for permission to attend.Maddie had both her parents in the stands on Sunday. Hours after Duke upset No. 3 South Carolina, they were cheering on Elon against North Carolina.They have five seniors this year and are a terrific team, McCallie said. We talk often, but mostly not about basketball.dddddddddddd. Its mostly about family. Shes really proud of her team. She was a starter last year and comes off the bench now. Im really proud of her.While mother and daughter both know where they will be on Thursday, a big question will be where Joanne McCallies husband, John, sits and who he supports.I have a feeling that my dad will support me, Maddie McCallie said, laughing. Both ways are kind of weird to think about and both ways are kind of exciting. My dad will probably be supporting the Elon team and be sitting behind our bench.John McCallie, an economics professor at North Carolina, said its going to be a very tough choice.I havent decided on what to wear or where to sit yet, he said in a phone interview Monday. Definitely going to have both colors on.As far as which team hell be rooting for, that one was easy.Im definitely pulling for a Duke win, he said. After all, we just got ranked and would like to keep that. It is going to be exciting, though. Im really proud of Maddie and what shes done forging her own path.Nicholls State coach DoBee Plaisance knows what the McCallies will be going through. She faced her daughter, Theresa, in 2010 when she was a freshman at LSU. The game was billed as a mother-daughter matchup, and the coach got LSU to take the hour-long trip to Thibodaux, Louisiana.Six years later, Coach Plaisance still gets emotional talking about it.I remember the game like it was yesterday, she said. It was for me a very emotional, passionate struggle. There was a struggle from the onset. Scheduling the game, I didnt want to do it. It was emotional for me for a while. Did I do right for the team? Did I show both teams respect?Her daughter had eight points, five rebounds and three assists in the 88-35 victory by LSU. The Nicholls State coach has a framed photo of a postgame hug with her daughter in her office, a constant reminder of a special day.The look on my face was a relief that it was over with, said DoBee Plaisance, a court coach for McCallie at USA Basketball in 2006. I hope Joanne has the same relief when her game is done.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg ' ' '
