EAST RUTHERFORD Jaylon Ferguson Jersey , N.J. (AP) — While the win total has increased slightly after a fiasco of a 2017 season, Pat Shurmur sees good things on the horizon for the New York Giants.That’s provided the Giants (5-10) learn how to finish games.It’s been one of their major weaknesses this season and they head into the final week of a fruitless season coming off another late-game collapse in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.It was the third time this season Shurmur has seen the Giants lose a road game when the opposition scored the deciding points in the final minute. Seven of their losses have been by seven points or less.“We’ve won some games, but we haven’t won enough, and so that’s the growth that has to take place, and for those of us that aren’t very patient, it’s a painful process until we get to that point where we’re winning all of these games at the end – not just a few of them, but all of them,” Shurmur said Monday, a day after the Giants squandered an early 14-0 lead.“We all know that it comes down to a drive or two at the end or the critical plays at the end of a game,” he added. “There’s things that we’re doing that are good enough, but right is right. We’ve got to do it throughout the game and we’ve got to win them.”Looking back Quinnen Williams Jersey , this has been a turnaround year. The roster has fewer than 15 players left over from last year’s 3-13 season. While Eli Manning has remained the quarterback, the offense has changed and has added dynamic rookie halfback Saquon Barkley to a group of playmakers that include wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard and the suddenly revitalized and healthy Evan Engram at tight end.The defense has shown flashes. The takeaways have picked up, but the run defense and finding ways to close out games have faltered too much.“You’ve got to go out and take these wins, nobody gives you anything,” Shurmur said. “So when you get to the position like we were at the end of this game, it’s safe to say we’ve been in a handful of these this season where we’ve won a couple and then we’ve let a couple get away from us. But nothing’s given to you in this league, you’ve got to go take it.”Shurmur refused to say his team needed better players, insisting he liked the group he has now.However, a few more players will help.The Giants, who have made the playoffs once since 2011, are close to be a contender http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/trysten-hill-jersey-cheap , Shurmur said.“I think as we start building and as the players get better, as we improve, as we understand situations and how to play each situation better, then eventually this thing pushes over the top,” Shurmur said of his first season in charge. “So I would agree with their assessment.”NOTES: Shurmur said some of his injured players are close to returning for the Dallas game on Sunday. He did not mention Beckham, who has missed the last three games with a quadriceps injury. … The players had a short day Monday and will be off Tuesday for Christmas. The coaches will have Tuesday morning off but will be back in the afternoon to work on the Cowboys. … Manning will start Sunday at MetLife Stadium. … The game has little meaning since the Cowboys won the NFC East and will have a wild-card game at home. The Ravens’ dominant defense will have to continue the playoff push without standout cornerback Jimmy Smith. Smith left in the second quarter after hurting his Achilles tendon without being touched. ”Looks like Jimmy has a torn Achilles,” coach John Harbaugh said after the Ravens’ 44-20 rout of the Lions. ”That’s tough. It looks like he’ll be out the rest of the year.” Smith has been bothered by a sore Achilles tendon for much of the season. The seven-year veteran has missed several practices, but started all 12 games and is second on the team with three interceptions. For the Lions, offensive tackle Rick Wagner was carted off the field in the second quarter and did not return, and defensive end Cornelius Washington left in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor hurt his left knee in his team’s 23-3 loss to New England. Taylor continued playing despite being hurt on the first series. ”He was in pain. You could see it on his face, the expressions he was making Jachai Polite Jersey ,” running back LeSean McCoy said. ”It shows you a true warrior.” Tre’Davious White was being evaluated for a concussion after he was struck by Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski while lying on the ground after Buffalo’s rookie first-round pick intercepted Brady’s pass with 4:50 remaining. ”That’s just dirty football. There’s nowhere in our game for that,” Bills safety Micah Hyde said. ”I don’t know if it was a shoulder, elbow, I’m not sure what it was. That was dirty.” New England’s tight end apologized following the game. ”I’m not in the business of that. It was a lot of frustration,” he said. ”I just want to apologize to Tre’Davious White. I don’t really believe in those type of shots.” Another team hit hard by injuries was the Houston Texans. Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz went out in the second quarter and didn’t return after being evaluated for a concussion. Receiver Braxton Miller and running back Alfred Blue also suffered concussions. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph was ruled out just after halftime with an injured shoulder. Receiver Bruce Ellington also couldn’t finish against Tennessee with an injured hamstring. Bears linebacker Pernell McPhee suffered a shoulder injury on the game’s opening drive and defensive end Mitch Unrein (knee) was hurt in the second quarter against San Francisco. Vikings tight end David Morgan went out in the first quarter against Atlanta with a concussion. Falcons guard Andy Levitre sustained a triceps injury in the first quarter and didn’t return. Dolphins center Mike Pouncey left against Denver in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury and cornerback Cordrea Tankersley left with an injured shoulder, returned and departed again because of an ankle injury. Broncos linebacker Joseph Jones was helped off the field in the fourth quarter. Chiefs center Mitch Morse was carted to the locker room with a foot injury. Zach Fulton replaced him and Bryan Witzmann took over Fulton’s spot at left guard in Kansas City’s 38-31 loss to the Jets. Packers inside linebacker Jake Ryan left in the fourth quarter against Tampa Bay with a neck injury. Colts center Mike Person, playing in place of starter Ryan Kelly (concussion), limped off the field in the fourth quarter against Jacksonville. Cornerback Pierre Desir (left shoulder) left in the first half and did not return. Browns tight end Randall Telfer was evaluated for a possible concussion during the game against the Chargers. Defensive lineman Danny Shelton injured his wrist, apparently during the second half, and rookie defensive back Jabrill Peppers injured his knee in the second half.
