falcons 20 | GIANTS 30
East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Odell Beckham Jr.'s first career touchdown catch highlighted a second-half surge that propelled NY to a 30-20 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at MetLife Stadium. Beckham's 15-yard grab of a Manning fade attempt with 10:02 to play was part of a 20-point swing that brought NY (3-2) back from a 20-10 third- quarter deficit to post its third consecutive win. Fellow rookie Williams added a touchdown run during the rally, while Manning connected with Randle for a scoring strike earlier and finished with 200 passing yards and no turnovers on a 19-of-30 completion rate. Beckham, the Giants' first-round pick of the 2014 draft who sat out the first four games with a hamstring injury, had 44 yards on four receptions in his debut. Williams, pressed into an extended role when Jennings sprained his left knee in the third quarter, totaled 65 yards on 20 carries. Julio Jones hauled in 11 Matt Ryan passes for 105 yards and Antone Smith had a 74-yard touchdown catch for Atlanta (2-3), but the Falcons' offense went cold down the stretch en route to the club's 10th loss in its last 11 on the road. Ryan ended 29-of-45 for 316 yards with one touchdown and an interception.
