EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Ben McAdoo has shown a willingness to gamble in his first season as the Giants coach, and New York is riding his hot hand for a run at their first postseason berth since winning the Super Bowl in 2011.Eli Manning threw his third touchdown pass of the game on a fourth-down, fourth-quarter roll of the dice by McAdoo, and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Bengals 21-20 on Monday night for their first four-game winning streak since 2013.We like the position were in. Weve just got to keep going. We cant slow down, said Manning, who was 28 of 44 for 240 yards and two interceptions. We cant relax for a second. Every game weve been playing is tight. Im proud of the way the team is fighting.Manning threw scoring passes of 10 yards apiece to rookie Jerrell Adams and Odell Beckham in the first half, and a game-winning 3-yarder to rookie Sterling Shepard on a daring call with New York (6-3) down 20-14 early in the fourth quarter.The six wins match the Giants total in each of the last two seasons under Tom Coughlin, and it bodes well with Chicago (2-7) and Cleveland (0-10) on tap the next two weeks.The key to this one was McAdoos decision to play for a TD early in the fourth. The third quarter ended with New York at the Cincinnati 9, facing a second and goal.When Manning came to the sideline, McAdoo told him they were in four-down territory.I dont know if Ive heard it before, Manning said of being told before the second-down play. Obviously on third down, they tell you. We had the quarter change, so I think he had some time to think and wanted me to know and to tell the offensive guys the circumstances.The fourth quarter started with an incomplete pass intended for tight end Will Tye. A 6-yard pass to Tavarres King set up the fourth-down pass to Shepard, who cut across the field on a shallow route and beat the linebacker.We knew it was going to take touchdowns to beat this team, McAdoo said. Its a good football team and we felt like we needed to score touchdowns. The Giants defense took over from there, closing it out on Landon Collins fourth interception in the past three games and two stops, the last on consecutive sacks of Andy Dalton with less than five minutes to play.Dalton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green and Jeremy Hill scored on a 9-yard run that was set up by an 84-yard kickoff return by Alex Erickson to start the second half. Mike Nugent kicked two field goals for Cincinnati (3-5-1), the second giving the Bengals a 20-14 lead early in the third quarter.Dalton said the Bengals just couldnt get anything going after taking the lead. They missed a short third down play in the fourth quarter and then never threatened.We just needed one play to get us going and we never got it, said Dalton, who was 16 of 29 for 204 yards.The Giants had a 14-10 halftime lead. Manning capped an 80-yard opening drive with his pass to Adams . He hit Beckham (10 catches for 97 yards) on New Yorks final drive of the half.A 71-yard pass from Dalton to tight end Tyler Eifert set up Greens touchdown, and an interception by Dre Kirkpatrick led to Nugents first field goal, which was disappointing since Cincinnati had first-and-goal at the Giants 7 after the return.INJURIESGiants second-year G Brett Jones made his first NFL start and lasted one series before leaving with a strained calf. New York WR-KR Dwayne Harris (toe) left in the second half, as did the Bengals DE Wallace Gilberry (calf).RING OF HONORThe Giants inducted two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Tom Coughlin, defensive end Justin Tuck and former general manager Ernie Accorsi into their Ring of Honor. Coughlin, who stepped down after last season, was the last to be introduced, and he started by saying he wasnt going to be cheated in giving his acceptance speech. He wasnt. He spoke so long the teams had to wait for the second half to start.UP NEXTBengals: Host the Bills on Sunday.Giants: Finish a three-game homestand with a matchup against Chicago.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Saucony Grid 9000 Premium Pack .

Womens Saucony Jazz Original Retro Sneakers Grey White Red .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.The Texas Rangers have a long list of injured starting pitchers, so they made a strong move to acquire one of the top available starters. Numbers Game breaks down the Rangers acquisition of Matt Garza. The Rangers Get: RHP Matt Garza Garza, 29, is a hard-throwing starting pitcher who has been stellar for the Cubs this season, once he joined the rotation May 21, after recovering from a strained lat muscle. In 11 starts for Chicago, Garza is 6-1 with a career-low 3.17 ERA and career-best 1.14 WHIP, striking out 62 in 71 innings. In three seasons with the Cubs, Garza owns a 1.21 WHIP, which puts him in solid company, with Zack Greinke, CC Sabathia and Gio Gonzalez and his 3.45 ERA over that span ranks 23rd among qualified starting pitchers. Garza is not as overpowering as he has been in past years, but Garza still averages 92.7 MPH with his fastball and has stayed with harder stuff, throwing fewer change-ups than at any other point in his career. Going to Texas is a trouble spot, for any pitcher, not just Garza. Its a small sample, but in five career starts at Rangers Park, Garza is 2-3 with a 6.04 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, striking out 30 in 28 1/3 innings. Hardly definitive, but not encouraging either. Texas has gone virtually the whole season without Colby Lewis, Neftali Feliz and Matt Harrison due to injuries, then Alexi Ogando and Nick Tepesch have joined them on the DL, making it increasingly difficult for the Rangers to keep pace in the American League West. Garza, who will be a free agent at seasons end, is making $10.25-million this season, and will be an upgrade for the Rangers depleted rotation, giving them a better shot at a playoff berth. Additionally, hes a power arm and power arms tend to rule the postseason. The Cubs Get: 3B Mike Olt, RHP C.J. Edwards, RHP Justin Grimm and a player to be named later. Olt is a 24-year-old power-hitting third baseman who has struggled this season. In 2012, Olt hit 28 homers and had a .977 OPS for Double-A Frisco, earning a 16-game stint with the Rangers, during which he hit .152 with a .432 OPS. This season has beeen more trying for Olt.dddddddddddd Since moving to Triple-A, Olt is hitting just .213 with 11 homers and a .739 OPS in 65 games, but he had vision issues early in the year which seem to be coming around (he has an .860 OPS with 11 homers in 45 games since the beginning of June). If hes back on track, Olt is a legitimate option to become a long-term starter at third base for the Cubs. Edwards appears to be the most promising aspect of this deal for the Cubs. A 48th round pick in 2011, but a skinny kid with a big fastball, Edwards has been dominating the low minors. Leaving aside his dominant Rookie ball numbers (1.48 ERA, 0.85 WHIP in 14 GP), Edwards has a 1.92 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, with 182 strikeouts in 140 1/3 innings over 28 starts between low-A ball and Single-A. Hes 21-years-old, so hell have some time to fill out and get stronger before hes major-league ready, but could be a significant long-term asset if he continues along this development curve. 24-year-old Justin Grimm has been taking a regular, if not altogether successful turn, in the Rangers rotation this season, posting a 6.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 17 starts. However, Grimms underlying numbers suggest that hes been the victim of bad luck, including a low percentage (63.8%) of runners left on base. If moving to Texas is a risky proposition for Garza, it would stand to reason that getting out of Texas could make things better for Grimm. Considering the other options for the Cubs -- Chris Rusin, Brooks Raley -- theres a good opportunity for Grimm to continue making regular starts in Chicago, effectively in an effort to audition for next years staff. Considering the Cubs were facing the prospect of losing Garza as a free agent, they got a nice return. There is uncertainty, and they might come up with nothing long-term, but there is also the possibility that the Cubs might have secured three pieces that could be part of the roster for many years to come.
