EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants won two Super Bowls under Tom Coughlin by being able to pressure the opposing quarterback and getting just enough big plays from Eli Manning and the offense to pull out a lot of close games.In coach Ben McAdoos first season since taking over for Coughlin, the Giants (9-4) are using the same formula in a bid to end a four-year playoff drought.Its a formula that also has put the only two blemishes on the Dallas Cowboys record (11-2) this season.The Giants defense befuddled rookie quarterback Dak Prescott on a cold, damp night, and Manning overcame a miserable performance to hook up with Odell Beckham Jr. on a go-ahead, 61-yard catch-and-run late in the third quarter as New York ended the Cowboys 11-game winning streak with a 10-7 victory Sunday .I think that everything is in front of us, Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. I think that we can be as good as we want to be. As long as we keep our head down and keep grinding away -- it is still a long season. We have some games left and I am planning on playing in January. That is the goal right now, to get through December and play in January.If the defense plays the way it did against Dallas, the Giants are going back to the playoffs for the first time since winning the Super Bowl in February 2012 against the Patriots.Steve Spagnuolos unit limited Dallas to a season-low 260 yards , held the Cowboys to 1 of 15 on third down and didnt allow Ezekiel Elliott to bust a big run despite gaining 107 yards rushing.New York cornerback Janoris Jenkins blanketed star receiver Dez Bryant for the second straight game, limiting him to one catch late and forcing a fumble on the same play. Bryant had two catches in two games against the Giants this season as the Cowboys scored a total of 26 points. They were scoring almost 28 per game this season entering Sunday night.While saying they didnt execute well, veteran Cowboys tight end Jason Witten gave credit to the Giants in a game they played without star defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. He is out for the rest of the regular season because of a sports hernia.They were pressuring us, Witten said. They were bringing some heat and we werent able to capitalize on it. I tell you what, our defense kept us in the game. I thought they did a heck of a job. Giving us a chance, we didnt play good enough.Beckham, who turned a short slant into a touchdown with an incredible burst of speed, felt the same way about the Giants offense.To me personally when you are not on the field and seeing what that defense does, that makes all the difference in the world, he said. The quote Ive heard for a long time is offense wins games, defense wins championships, and this is a championship defense.Here are five takeaways from the game:THE ROAD AHEAD: With three games left in the regular season, the Cowboys magic number for winning the NFC East is two. Any combination of wins by the Cowboys and losses by the Giants totaling two gives Dallas the division title. New York still has the best record among second-place teams in the NFC wild-card race. Dallas is home next weekend against Tampa Bay (8-5). The Giants host Detroit (9-4).REPLACING JPP: Rookie free agent Romeo Okwara started for Pierre-Paul at left end and led the Giants with eight tackles and one of their three sacks. It was his first career sack. Linebacker Devon Kennard also filled in at defensive end and tackle in passing situations. He had six tackles and a sack.DAK NOT A COLD-WEATHER GUY: Prescott didnt seem to like the cold and it didnt help that the ball was a little wet at times. He finished 17 of 37 for 165 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Knowing how talented our offense is, having high expectations of myself and stalling drive after drive, it gets frustrating, Prescott said.NO ROMO: Prescotts struggles against the fierce Giants pass rush and sticky secondary didnt have Dallas thinking about whether longtime starter Tony Romo should take over at quarterback.Finally recovered from his back issues, Romo is the clear backup these days to the superb rookie. But Prescott wasnt superb against New York.So, naturally, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about Romo. He smiled and, with emphasis, said no when the subject of Romo seeing action came up.Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was asked if at any point he considered turning to Romo. Again, an emphatic no.We just feel good about Dak Prescott playing quarterback for us right now, Garrett said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dave Casper Womens Jersey .

Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999. GENEVA -- Russian hackers broke into a World Anti-Doping Agency database and posted confidential medical data online Tuesday of some United States female athletes who competed at the Rio Olympics -- including gymnast Simone Biles, tennis players Serena and Venus Williams and basketball player Elena Delle Donne.WADA said the attack was carried out by a Russian cyber espionage group called Fancy Bears, who revealed records of therapeutic use exemptions -- which allow athletes to use substances that are banned if there is a verified medical need.?The hackers posted medical records of Biles that showed the four-time gold medalist tested positive for methylphenidate after four tests -- Aug. 11, Aug. 14, Aug. 15 and Aug. 16. However, Biles was issued certificates that, per the International Gymnastics Federation, approved the one-daily use of the drug (15 mg) for therapeutic use for one-year periods in September 2012 and September 2013. In December 2013, Biles was again issued a one-year certificate for dexmethylphenidate that included an additional 10 mg dose per day, and that certificate for both dosages was extended for a four-year period from December 2014 to December 2018.Biles responded on Twitter, saying that she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and has taken medicine for it since I was a kid.Please know, I believe in clean sport, have always followed the rules, and will continue to do so as fair play is critical to sport and is very important to me, she said.?USA Gymnastics issued a statement on Twitter confirming that Biles records were breached from the WADA database by hackers.?The Williams sisters did not test positive in Rio, according to the records posted by the hackers, but had been granted multiple certificates of approval, authorized by the International Tennis Federation, for specified periods since 2010. Serena Williams was last approved for using prednisolone for a six-day period in June 2015. In the past, Serena also had approvals for methylprednisolone, hydromorphone, oxycodone and prednisone.Venus, meanwhile, had exceptions for triamcinolone, prednisone, formoterol and prednisolone for specified periods between 2010 and 2013.Venus Williams, who won a silver medal in mixed doubles at the Rio Olympics last month, issued a statement via her agent in which she said she was granted TUEs when serious medical conditions have occurred, and those exemptions were reviewed by an anonymous, independent group of doctors, and approved for legitimate medical reasons.Williams revealed in 2011 she had been diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome, an energy-sapping disease.I was disappointed to learn today that my private, medical data has been compromised by hackers and published without my permission, Williams said. I have followed the rules established under the Tennis Anti-Doping Program in applying for, and being granted, therapeutic use exemption. The ITF also cautioned against unjustified conclusions being drawn from exemptions it approved.All TUEs granted under the Tennis Anti-Doping Program are for the legitimate therapeutic use of medications and are in no way indicative of doping or a breach of the anti-doping rules, International Tennis Federation president David Haggerty said in a statement.According to the hackers documents, Delle Donne, who averaged 8.6 points per game as the U.S. won the gold in womens basketball, tested positive for using an amphetamine on Aug. 20, but she, too, had a certificate of approval, authorized by FIBA, for therapeutic use that was issued for a four-year period from Aug. 7, 2014 to Aug. 7, 2018. In addition, Delle Donne had another certificate, also authorized by FIBA, permitting the usage of a banned hydrocortisone from 2014 to 2018.ddddddddddddId like to thank the hackers for making the world aware that I legally take a prescription for a condition Ive been diagnosed with, which WADA granted me an exception for, Delle Donne said in a tweet Tuesday. Thanks guys!USADA CEO Travis Tygart issued a statement Tuesday condemning the hackers attempt to smear athletes to make it look as if they have done something wrong.The athletes havent, Tygart continued. In fact, in each of the situations, the athlete has done everything right in adhering to the global rules for obtaining permission to use a needed medication. The respective International Federations, through the proper process, granted the permission and it was recognized by the IOC and USADA.The cyber-bullying of innocent athletes being engaged in by these hackers is cowardly and despicable. It is time for the entire international community to stand up and condemn this cyber-attack on clean sport and athletes rights.Three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome said he has no issue with his medical data being leaked.Ive openly discussed my TUEs with the media and have no issues with the leak which confirms my statements, Froome said Thursday in a statement.WADA previously warned of cyberattacks after investigators it appointed published reports into Russian state-sponsored doping.These criminal acts are greatly compromising the effort by the global anti-doping community to re-establish trust in Russia, World Anti-Doping Agency director general Olivier Niggli said in a statement.WADA said it extended its investigation with the relevant law enforcement authorities.Last month, hackers obtained a database password for Russian runner Yuliya Stepanova, a whistleblower and key witness for the WADA investigations. She and her husband, a former official with the Russian national anti-doping agency, are now living at an undisclosed location in North America.A spokesman for Russian state President Vladimir Putin rejected WADAs statement blaming Russian hackers as unfounded.There can be no talk about any official or government involvement, any involvement of Russian agencies in those actions. Its absolutely out of the question, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies. Such unfounded accusations dont befit any organization, if they arent backed by substance.The International Olympic Committee said it strongly condemns such methods which clearly aim at tarnishing the reputation of clean athletes.The IOC can confirm however that the athletes mentioned did not violate any anti-doping rules during the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the Olympic body said.Those behind the breach have adopted the name Fancy Bears, an apparently tongue-in-cheek reference to a collection of hackers which many security researchers have long associated with Russia.In a statement posted to its website early Tuesday, the group proclaimed its allegiance to Anonymous, the loose-knit movement of online mischief-makers, and said it hacked WADA to show the world how Olympic medals are won.We will start with the U.S. team which has disgraced its name by tainted victories, the group said, adding that more revelations about other teams were forthcoming.Internet records suggest Fancy Bears data dump has been in the works for at least two weeks; their website was registered on Sept. 1 and their Twitter account was created Sept. 6.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
