East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork. Nyle McFarlane Jersey Retro .com) - Odell Beckham Jr. caught three touchdown passes from Eli Manning as the New York Giants rallied for a 24-13 victory over the Washington Redskins, who saw another change at quarterback come to no avail. Robert Griffin III replaced an injured Colt McCoy after one possession and gave the Redskins a brief spark, putting together a pair of scoring drives that gave Washington a 13-10 edge late in the third quarter. Beckham then hauled in two touchdowns from Manning in yet another dazzling display for the rookie receiver, who finished with 12 receptions totaling 143 yards. Nine of those grabs came in the second half, enabling New York (5-9) to deal the reeling Redskins (3-11) a sixth straight loss. Nothing this guy does amazes me at this point, Giants safety Antrel Rolle said of Beckham. Hes a phenomenal talent and more importantly, I think he has the attitude and passion that this game deserves and that this team needs. He tries to go out there and be the best of the best each and every time on the field. Griffin completed 18-of-27 attempts for 236 yards and a touchdown in place of McCoy, who aggravated a previous neck strain on Washingtons opening series. The embattled quarterback also had a rushing touchdown overturned late in the first half, with a replay review determining that he fumbled prior to crossing the goal line. Weve had a lot of turmoil, lot of things going on, but at the end of the day, youve gotta get out there, suit up, and when your number is called be ready to play, Griffin said. Manning ended with 250 yards on 23-of-34 passing in the Giants second consecutive win following a seven-game losing skid. Mostly quiet with the Giants offense stagnant for the majority of the first three quarters, Beckham broke out with his team down by three late in third. He drew a pass interference call on Bashaud Breeland to put New York into enemy territory, then snared a Manning pass on a crossing route two plays later before outsprinting the defense for a 35-yard touchdown to give the Giants a 17-13 lead. Eli made a check to the tight end and gave me the post route to try and occupy the safety, said Beckham of the play. The slant came open late and it just looked like a lot of open field, so I tried to run as fast as I could. Griffin wasnt able to bring the Redskins back, as Washingtons next three drives resulted in three-and-outs while Beckham continued to rack up catches and yards. The first-round pick had five receptions totaling 56 yards on a back-breaking 12-play trek that began early in the fourth quarter. Beckham finished the sequence off with a diving 6-yard grab that put New York up 24-13 with under five minutes to go. Beckham had another touchdown catch called back by a holding penalty on the Giants previous possession, which ended when the rookie was stopped for no gain on 4th-and-1 from the Washington 28. Griffin took over with the Redskins trailing 7-3 late in the first quarter and was razor-sharp on his second drive of the day. The 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of Year completed all five of his throws on a 7-play, 77-yard march he capped by finding a wide-open Chris Thompson in the flat for a 9-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter. After leading Washington down the field again near the end of the first half, Griffin appeared to have sent the Redskins further in front by tumbling into the end zone on an 8-yard scramble as time expired. The score was overturned, however, when replay determined that Griffin didnt reestablish possession after being temporarily dislodged of the ball by Jason Pierre-Paul just before he crossed the goal line. Its a touchdown in every game Ive ever seen, Griffin quipped afterward. The controversial ruling prompted an ejection for the Redskins Santana Moss after the veteran receiver made contact with an official as he argued the call. Moss was also given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, allowing the Giants to place the second-half kickoff at the Washington 35. New York took advantage of the short field, as Chandler Fenner recovered Josh Browns onside kick at the Redskins 17 to set up Browns 32-yard field goal that tied the game at 10-10. Griffin helped sent Washington back in front later in the third quarter with a third-down strike that Andre Roberts took for a 61-yard gain deep into New York territory. However, Pierre-Pauls sack of Griffin in the red zone forced the Redskins to settle for Kai Forbaths 38-yard field goal. McCoy was effective on his lone series of the day, moving the Redskins from their own 4-yard line to the Giants 17 to position Forbath for a 35-yard field goal with 6:47 left in the opening quarter. He went 4-for-7 for 39 yards on the drive while adding 24 yards on a pair of rushes. The Giants answered with a 12-play, 56-yard jaunt after getting excellent field position when Preston Parker took the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to near midfield. On 3rd-and-8 from the Washington 10, Manning lofted a pass into the end zone that Beckham came down with in tight coverage to give New York a 7-3 edge.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Al Jefferson is happy he didnt make the All-Star game. Kemba Walker said it might be a huge blessing for the Charlotte Bobcats that the big man got a few days off to rest his 29-year-old legs for the stretch run, particularly with four games in five nights coming out of the break. "Im glad he didnt make it either," Walker said with a laugh. "Hes fresh now. And you dont have to make the All-Star game to be an All-Star. I know hes a great player and unguardable in the post."

"We had a bad reputation around this league for a long time, at least since Ive been here," Walker said. "Coach (Steve Clifford) has done a great job of changing the culture. We just want to win. We dont want to be those Bobcats where guys come in here and beat us up every night." The 6-foot-10, 289-pound Jefferson, who had 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in Tuesdays 108-96 win at Detroit, went 12 of 20 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds. He has scored at least 20 points in 16 of the last 18 games and barely missed his seventh 30-point game in the last 10 games. Jefferson said the Bobcats (25-30) are playing their best basketball of the season as they gear up for the stretch run and a shot at the franchises second career playoff appearance. "We have been a top 10 on defence all year," Jefferson said. "But now our offence is picking up and were learning how to play with each other." Frustration seems to be setting in for the Pistons, who have lost nine of 14. Brandon Jennings had 20 points for Detroit before being ejected from the game with 1:13 left after picking up his second technicall foul for arguing a call. Mike Fitzgerald Jersey Retro. Jennings did not speak to the media after the game. "We definitely have to do a better job as a team of keeping our composure, especially in tough games like this," teammate Greg Monroe said. "Down the stretch these games mean a lot. You know, keeping a level head and playing hard, as a team is something were going to have to do." Coach John Loyer said its not too late to regroup. "Its two games," Loyer said. "Granted its two that we wanted to get, two we needed to get, but we didnt get them. You move on. You figure out your next plan and you just try to go win the next game." Josh McRoberts chipped in with 15 points for the Bobcats and Ramon Sessions had 10 points and 10 assists off the bench. But its Jefferson who is setting the tone. "We are just getting acclimated to Al," Walker said. "It took a little while but we know how to play with him and play off him. He makes all the right plays. All we have to do is get him the basketball in the right spots all we have to do is make shots." The Bobcats led by six at halftime, but opened the second half with a 17-3 tear to take a 70-50 lead behind 3-pointers from Walker, McRoberts and Gerald Henderson. The Pistons got within nine in the fourth quarter, but McRoberts buried a pair of 3-pointers and Walker hit a jumper to put the Bobcats safely ahead.
