CLEVELAND -- Theyre rarely flashy, hardly appealing and downright tough to watch at times.The New York Giants play bland, boring football -- just how they like it.Hey, its just about finding ways, Eli Manning said.Manning threw three touchdown passes -- two to Odell Beckham Jr. -- and Jason Pierre-Paul returned a fumble for a TD as the Giants extended their winning streak to six games, holding off Cleveland 27-13 on Sunday to keep the pitiful Browns winless.At the end of a long holiday weekend, the Giants (8-3) looked as if they gorged on too much turkey and apple pie on Thanksgiving. They stumbled and staggered for much of the game before finally putting away the Browns (0-12) to give New York its longest winning streak since 2008.The Giants dont overwhelm anyone, but they do just enough to win and are in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2011.Whatever it is, a win is a win, said Beckham, who had six catches for 96 yards and had a TD punt return called back. I dont think we took a step back today, but I definitely think we could have taken a bigger step forward. We got time. A couple more games left and now its time to progress this week.Manning threw a 32-yard TD pass to Beckham in the second quarter and added a 4-yarder to the star wide receiver with 5:10 left as the Giants avoided what would have been a devastating loss.They were lethargic and inconsistent on offense. On defense, the Giants gave up a few big plays and were probably fortunate they were playing the Browns.We have to get better, Giants coach Ben McAdoo said. We believe were going to win and find a way to get the game in our favor in the end.Its getting worse for the Browns, who have dropped 15 in a row since last season and are facing the possibility of joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go 0-16.Cleveland is 3-30 since ending the 2014 season with five consecutive losses.Following the game, Browns coach Hue Jackson had a lengthy meeting with upper management before meeting with reporters. Jackson was emotional when he talked about what this season has done to him.Being 0-12 is probably the hardest thing ever, he said. Ive never been through this, but Im not going to fall off the cliff. Do I get disappointed and frustrated? Yes. I dont want you to think I dont get mad or sad. I go through all those emotions, but at the same time I know what I signed up for.I know there are injuries and the things weve been through this season, where we are, where were trying to go. You can either beat yourself up, and I do that enough, or you can put your head down and keep fighting and push through this. Thats what were going to do as a football team and an organization.Browns quarterback Josh McCown, back in the lineup after rookie Cody Kessler sustained his second concussion last week, finished with 322 yards passing and threw a TD pass to rookie Corey Coleman.With the Giants leading 14-6, Pierre-Paul rumbled 43 yards for his third career TD.The defensive end, who had three of New Yorks seven sacks, snagged the ball after McCowns arm was struck by Johnathan Hankins and raced to the end zone, putting the Giants ahead by two touchdowns.It was an interception, Pierre-Paul joked afterward. The ball never touched the ground.Robbie Gould missed the extra point, and that became a brief concern when McCown hooked up with Coleman to make it 20-13 with 8:17 left.However, Manning responded with a 73-yard drive, connecting with Beckham for 41 yards, before the scoring strike.We knew it was going to be a tough game, Manning said.GIANT STEPSThe 14-point margin was the Giants largest this season. New York collected its first seven wins by a combined 27 points, none by more than a touchdown.LOSERS LISTThe Browns joined seven franchises that have lost at least their first 12 games: the 2008 Lions; 1980 Saints (0-14); 1976 Buccaneers (0-14); 2011 Colts (0-13), 2007 Dolphins (0-13); 2001 Lions (0-12) and 1977 Bucs (0-12).MOVING UPWith his 37-yard completion to Cruz in the second quarter, Manning moved past Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton (47,003) for eighth place in career yards. Up next is Warren Moon (49,325), but Manning has a long way to go to catch brother, Peyton, who finished with 71,940 yards.BANGED-UPBeckham went out briefly in the first quarter with an injured right thumb. He underwent X-rays and missed just one series before returning.Giants backup safety Nate Berhe sustained a concussion while covering a kickoff in the second quarter. Also, New York defensive end Owa Odighizuwa left with an injured left knee in the second quarter.Browns right guard John Greco sustained a mid-foot sprain.UP NEXTGiants: Visit Pittsburgh next Sunday.Browns: Have their open date next weekend.---For more NFL coverage: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNFL Stitched Jerseys .

With a victory over the Montreal Impact in the second and final leg of their Amway Canadian Championship soccer series, the Whitecaps can finally claim the title after finishing second in the past four finals. The two-game, aggregate goals series is tied 0-0. The last two finals have occurred while the Caps were in MLS, where they currently play, after previously playing in a lower league. Vancouver defender Alain Rochat, who joined the club in its 2011 MLS expansion season, said the losses have been extremely frustrating. "We didnt manage to get a good result (at) home on the first leg, and then we had to go away to win the trophy," said Rochat after a practice Tuesday at the University of British Columbia. "So this year is different." Vancouver lost the previous four Canadian title matches on the road to Toronto. But this year is different because the Reds were eliminated in the opening round by Montreal. And, for a change, the Whitecaps are hosting the crucial second leg instead of playing it on the road. One factor is the same. Whitecaps management has set winning the Canadian title as a major goal -- as it did previously -- because a national championship is viewed as a major building block in the young MLS franchises development. "Having got to the (MLS) playoffs (for the first time in 2011), we made that first step of development," said Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie. "We are a new club and a young club. So the next step, for me, is to win a trophy, and this is first chance weve got to do that this season." Many new Vancouver players only learned of the importance of a Voyageurs Cup victory to the club at the start of this season. But Rochat, a 30-year-old native of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., who grew up in Switzerland, said it has been a major topic of discussion. "We knew that it is a big competition, so we wanted to be in the final," said Rochat. "Now that we are in the final, we want to win it." Added Rennie: "Were at home and were in a good position, so were excited to make the most of our opportunity." The Whitecaps are unbeaten at B.C. Place Stadium in all competitions this season. Rennie believes a 10-day break from league play, thanks to a bye following their game against Portland on May 18, will increase the home-field advantage. The rest came after the Caps played eight of their previous 11 games, including MLS and Canadian championship contests, on the road. "t;I think its been important, even just for me personally," said Rennie.dddddddddddd "I was exhausted after all those games and all that travelling. It doesnt really hit you until you have a break, but everybody needed it." The Impact, a second-year MLS franchise, poses a formidable challenge thanks to its strong offensive play. Montreal beat Toronto 6-2 in the opening round, and its high-scoring ways have continued in league play. However, Rennie believes Montreals own travel-related fatigue will assist his club. Eastern clubs often struggle in Vancouver as a three-hour time difference takes a toll on players. "Having coached on the East Coast (with the second-tier Charleston Battery) and come to Vancouver and come to the West Coast, I do know that that (time difference) is a factor -- and it does affect you," he said. But Montreal goalkeeper Evan Bush said the time change should not affect the visitors, because fitness trainer Paolo Pacione has players follow a schedule that enables them to adjust their bodies quickly. To aid the adjustment, Impact players stayed up late Sunday night and slept in Monday. "So weve already started adjusting our bodies to West Coast time," said Bush, adding his team has played well in the Pacific time zone this season. Montreal opened its campaigns with wins in Seattle and Portland and later earned a tie in San Jose. The Impact are unbeaten in their last three games (2-0-1), which included two league games and the scoreless opening-leg draw with the Whitecaps. In that span, Montreal has outscored its opponents 8-5, but defence was a cause for concern in the Impacts last MLS game. Fullback Hassoun Camara was disappointed that his club allowed three goals in a 5-3 win over Philadelphia. But, noting most of Philadelphias goals resulted from outside plays, he believes the mistakes can be fixed against Vancouver. "It will be difficult," he said of the Canadian final. "But were well-prepared and our last game gave us a lot of confidence." Notes: Impact forward Marco Di Vaio was named MLS player of the week on Tuesday after recording a hat-trick in the first half against Philadelphia. Di Vaio is tied for the league lead in scoring with nine goals. ... Rennie said injured midfielder Daigo Kobayashi (ankle) will be a game-time decision. He has not played since a May 11 win over Los Angeles. ... Vancouver striker Kenny Miller, out with a hamstring injury since March 11, is slated to draw into the lineup as a limited-time starter or second-half substitute. ' ' '
