mself going into the final round of The Op

[lw789]

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Cleaning out their lockers and heading home for the off-season is going to be a very different experience for the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants.Neither team made the post-season. The similarity ends there.The Eagles (10-6) are walking away frustrated after closing out the season with a 34-26 win over the Giants on Sunday. The defending NFC East champions had a game lead in the division after beating Dallas on Thanksgiving and blew it with consecutive losses to Seattle, the Cowboys and Washington, ending their playoff hopes and making Sundays game meaningless.Overall, its bad, Eagles centre Jason Kelce said regarding the season that saw Philadelphia match its win total of a year ago. Were upset we didnt make the playoffs. Were happy to get a win today. The only thing we can take away is that were close to being a very, very good team. The Giants (6-10) are not a very good team. They have missed the playoffs three straight seasons and their win total is one less than a year ago.Its has many wondering whether coach Tom Coughlin is going to be fired. While the 68-year-old has led New York to two Super Bowl titles in 11 seasons — the last in February 2012 — missing the playoffs repeatedly tends to cost people their jobs.Were going to evaluate our team, just like we always do, said Coughlin, who has a year left on his contract. Well present our information of the pro personnel to the owners and if theres anything else, itll be initiated by ownership. Im going to go about my business until Im told otherwise.Eagles and Giants players are scheduled to meet on Monday for the final time this season.Its bittersweet, said Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin, who will be a free agent after this season. It is frustrating that we are not going to be in the playoffs. We had every opportunity to get there. Its over. We cant go back in time.On Sunday, Mark Sanchez threw touchdowns to Jordan Matthews and Brent Celek, Trey Burton returned a blocked punt 27 yards for a score to lead the Eagles. Chris Polk also scored on a 1-yard run and Cody Parkey kicked two field goals.Odell Beckham Jr. capped a phenomenal rookie season for the Giants with 12 catches for a career-best 185 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown. Andre Williams scored on a 1-yard run and Josh Brown kicked four field goals for New York, which had a three-game winning streak snapped.Five things we learned from this meaningless game:SPECIAL EAGLES: The return of the blocked punt was the seventh touchdown by the Eagles special teams this season. It was their third return of a blocked punt for a TD. They also had two kickoff returns and two punt returns for TDs. Prior to this year the Eagles never had more than one blocked punt returned for a touchdown in a season. The last NFL team to have three blocked punt return touchdowns in the same season was the Rams in 1987.MORE BECKHAM: Beckham finished with team highs of 91 catches for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns in only 12 games. He missed the first four with a hamstring injury. The receptions and yards were rookie team records and the TD total tied the franchise rookie mark set by Bill Paschal in 1943. The first-round pick also tied Hall of Famer Michael Irvin (1995) as the only players in NFL history with at least 90 receiving yards in nine consecutive games. Imagine a full season.MANNING IMPROVES: A year after throwing a career-high 27 interceptions, Manning had 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The 11-year veteran completed 28 of 53 for 429 yards, a touchdown and an interception on Sunday, finishing the year with 4,410 yards, his fourth 4,000-yard season.EAGLES OFFENSE: Chip Kellys offence broke a team record scoring 474 points, 32 more than last years mark. The Eagles also set team records with 54 touchdowns, 390 completions, 4,581 gross passing yards, eight 300-yard passing games and 356 first downs. What probably kept them out of the playoffs were 35 turnovers.JPP: Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul had two sacks and finished the season with 12 1/2, the highest total by a Giant since he had 16 1/2 in 2011. He is set to become a free agent after this season. While the 25-year-old said he would like to return, he isnt going to give the Giants a break.Do you get discounts? Pierre-Paul said. Do you get discounts when you go to Macys? You do if you have a discount coupon. I dont know. We will see what happens.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Bill Walton Jersey . That little deal worked out in a big way for the Mavericks.

What will be, will be. Johnston went round in 70 on Saturday, carding three birdies and two bogeys, to finish on five under and was, on the whole, satisfied with his performance.I played nicely, I dont think I took advantage on the front nine on the par fives, the 27-year-old said. Johnston received warm support throughout his round I drove the ball really well early on but I didnt take advantage but I hung on really well on the back nine so overall I think it was a pretty decent score.As for the support he received as he went round the course, he added: I loved it. Thats what its about, you dream of it as a kid. I love acknowledging it and having fun. Also See: Stenson snatches Open lead Leaderboard WATCH: Beef smashes burger!
