GIANTS TOP DOLPHINS: The Giants finally won a game in the fourth quarter, icing the Dolphins by a final score of 31-24. Yes, Odell Beckham was doing amazing things, as usual, and you can see them here. Refs initially ruled that his third quarter touchdown was out of bounds, but a closer look at OBJ’s amazing footwork reversed the ruling. Bill Belichick’s argument for more cameras on the field got stronger.
