EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants won two Super Bowls under Tom Coughlin by being able to pressure the opposing quarterback and getting just enough big plays from Eli Manning and the offense to pull out a lot of close games.In coach Ben McAdoos first season since taking over for Coughlin, the Giants (9-4) are using the same formula in a bid to end a four-year playoff drought.Its a formula that also has put the only two blemishes on the Dallas Cowboys record (11-2) this season.The Giants defense befuddled rookie quarterback Dak Prescott on a cold, damp night, and Manning overcame a miserable performance to hook up with Odell Beckham Jr. on a go-ahead, 61-yard catch-and-run late in the third quarter as New York ended the Cowboys 11-game winning streak with a 10-7 victory Sunday .I think that everything is in front of us, Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. I think that we can be as good as we want to be. As long as we keep our head down and keep grinding away -- it is still a long season. We have some games left and I am planning on playing in January. That is the goal right now, to get through December and play in January.If the defense plays the way it did against Dallas, the Giants are going back to the playoffs for the first time since winning the Super Bowl in February 2012 against the Patriots.Steve Spagnuolos unit limited Dallas to a season-low 260 yards , held the Cowboys to 1 of 15 on third down and didnt allow Ezekiel Elliott to bust a big run despite gaining 107 yards rushing.New York cornerback Janoris Jenkins blanketed star receiver Dez Bryant for the second straight game, limiting him to one catch late and forcing a fumble on the same play. Bryant had two catches in two games against the Giants this season as the Cowboys scored a total of 26 points. They were scoring almost 28 per game this season entering Sunday night.While saying they didnt execute well, veteran Cowboys tight end Jason Witten gave credit to the Giants in a game they played without star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. He is out for the rest of the regular season because of a sports hernia.They were pressuring us, Witten said. They were bringing some heat and we werent able to capitalize on it. I tell you what, our defense kept us in the game. I thought they did a heck of a job. Giving us a chance, we didnt play good enough.Beckham, who turned a short slant into a touchdown with an incredible burst of speed, felt the same way about the Giants offense.To me personally when you are not on the field and seeing what that defense does, that makes all the difference in the world, he said. The quote Ive heard for a long time is offense wins games, defense wins championships, and this is a championship defense.Here are five takeaways from the game:THE ROAD AHEAD: With three games left in the regular season, the Cowboys magic number for winning the NFC East is two. Any combination of wins by the Cowboys and losses by the Giants totaling two gives Dallas the division title. New York still has the best record among second-place teams in the NFC wild-card race. Dallas is home next weekend against Tampa Bay (8-5). The Giants host Detroit (9-4).REPLACING JPP: Rookie free agent Romeo Okwara started for Pierre-Paul at left end and led the Giants with eight tackles and one of their three sacks. It was his first career sack. Linebacker Devon Kennard also filled in at defensive end and tackle in passing situations. He had six tackles and a sack.DAK NOT A COLD-WEATHER GUY: Prescott didnt seem to like the cold and it didnt help that the ball was a little wet at times. He finished 17 of 37 for 165 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Knowing how talented our offense is, having high expectations of myself and stalling drive after drive, it gets frustrating, Prescott said.NO ROMO: Prescotts struggles against the fierce Giants pass rush and sticky secondary didnt have Dallas thinking about whether longtime starter Tony Romo should take over at quarterback.Finally recovered from his back issues, Romo is the clear backup these days to the superb rookie. But Prescott wasnt superb against New York.So, naturally, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about Romo. He smiled and, with emphasis, said no when the subject of Romo seeing action came up.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was asked if at any point he considered turning to Romo. Again, an emphatic no.We just feel good about Dak Prescott playing quarterback for us right now, Garrett said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Ryan Fitzpatrick Womens Jersey . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- BMX racing is growing up at the Summer Olympics.Its that extreme sport where cyclists pedal on bikes over a roughly quarter mile-long course filled with bumps, hills and sharp twists.Lots of action in a race that lasts about 40 seconds. A sport aimed at younger audiences.It is also now filled with a generation of elite riders who have been at it since BMX became an Olympic medal event in Beijing in 2008.Most people in London (at the 2012 Games) were young like me, or 19, 20, so we grew up and stayed at a good level in BMX, said 25-year-old reigning world champion Joris Daudet of France.Now many of those same racers are back at the colorful track in Rio de Janeiro , creating a deep field of experienced riders.On the mens side, the United States features a team that includes 2012 Olympians Connor Fields and Nic Long, and 2012 alternate Corben Sharrah. Australias Sam Willoughby is back after taking silver four years ago.Latvias Maris Strombergs is back to win a third straight gold. At 29, hes a BMX sage.Everybody is focused on this event. Everybody has the experience, too, Daudet said. He had the top time of 34.617 seconds during the mens seeding runs on Wednesday to earn the top seed in the quarterfinals on Thursday.Colombias Mariana Pajon is off to a fast start in defense of her Olympic title, earning the top seed in the womens draw with a time of 34.508 seconds on a warm, muggy afternoon. The women next race on Friday.Australias Caroline Buchanan and the United States Alise Post are other medal favorites who raced in London, and U.S. rider Brooke Crain is also a returnee. Theyre all getting pushed by younger riders who watched them compete four years ago.Its definitely made it a lot more interesting in racing, Post said.BMX, an abbreviation for bicycle motocross, traces its roots to the late 1960s and early 1970s in Southern California. Besides racing, there is also freestyle BMX in which cyclists ride ramps and perform tricks on their bikes.But racingg is the discipline that has taken hold at the Olympics.dddddddddddd Over the years, its grown from niche activity to X-Games event to an Olympic medal sport.Yeah, people dont ask if we do back flips anymore, Buchanan said. Were not the BMX bandits of the Beijing Games, the first-timers.BMXs inclusion into the Olympics eight years ago prompted other countries to create programs to develop riders. In the cases of smaller nations like Latvia and Colombia, more attention might be paid to a rider once he or she achieves a level of success.The field this year is deeper than ever, Fields said. Another top medal contender is the Netherlands Niek Kimmann, 20, who won time trials at the worlds in May.Now all over the world, Fields said, you have guys who are 18 to 21 years old who are graduates of their respective countrys development program, which is something that in 2008 or 2012, you wouldnt have gotten that same sort of pathway.The United States is consistently a top contender, though cycling in general has not been a top funding priority for the U.S. Olympic Committee, regardless of discipline.That means more international riders have caught up to the U.S cyclists. International World Cup races, in turn, have become more competitive in recent years.That BMX has stuck around for three Olympics is a positive sign for action sports in general. The 2020 Games will add three more action sports to the lineup to attract younger audiences: climbing, skateboarding and surfing.Consider BMX a trailblazer for the growth.One of the few action sports in the Summer Olympic Games, and a good sign that action sports is strong for 2020 now in Tokyo, Buchanan said. So from an action-sports side of things, I think its super positive for the Summer Games.---Online:AP Summer Games site: http://summergames.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
