| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - New York Giants running back Tiki Barber, Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers and Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould were chosen as the NFC's top players for the month of October. Barber led the NFL with 490 rushing yards during October to earn the offensive award. He reached the 100-yard mark in three of the club's four games, helping the Giants to four victories and first place in the NFC East at 5-2. In addition, Barber caught 13 passes for 110 yards during the mon |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -The New York Giants would like nothing better than to make life miserable for Houston quarterback David Carr for a second straight week. Why not? If the Giants (5-2) can make a few plays and get Carr to start questioning himself a week after being benched for poor play, their chances of beating the Texans (2-5) at Giants Stadium on Sunday are good. ``He's a guy who can do a lot of things that can beat you,'' Giants rookie defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said of Carr. ``We wa |

A happy T.O. is important for the Cowboys (4-3), who are looking to keep pace with the first-place New York Giants in the NFC East. A victory Sunday would also give Dallas a sweep over its biggest rival, a sequel to the 27-10 beating it handed Washington in Week 2. ``I know the situation both teams are in,'' Dallas coach Bill Parcells said. ``Neither of us can |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -There's a frequently overlooked factor the New York Giants have in their favor as they head toward the second half of the NFL season. As part of his maturing process as an NFL quarterback, Eli Manning has learned to negotiate Giants Stadium's swirling winds, which can confound opposing quarterbacks who are unfamiliar with the climatic quirks. Exhibit A came last Sunday against Tampa Bay when wind gusts reached the 40 to 50 mph range. In a controlled performance in the Giants' |

They're just finding different ways to lose every week against beatable teams. In a 30-24 overtime loss to the New York Giants in Week 2, defensive end Trent Cole kicked a player and drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty to set up Jay Feely's tying, 35-yard field goal that forced the extra period. Reid didn't admonish Cole publicly for his stupid act. If he did, perhaps de |
