Odell Beckham scored two TDs after 166 receiving yards, with the Giants now sharing the same record as the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East.

The 5-8 Dolphins have been eliminated from play-off contention and their loss saw the New England Patriots clinch the AFC East.

Beckham helped ensure the Giants were level at 17-17 at half-time before the Dolphins regained their seven-point lead in the third quarter when Ryan Tannehill dropped a dime to Kenny Stills on a 47-yard touchdown.

Tannehill had 236 yards and a TD.

The Giants tied it up on yet another incredible catch by Beckham, who somehow got both feet inbounds on a sideline catch in the end zone.

It was initially ruled incomplete, but a replay review confirmed the score.

The Giants missed an opportunity to grab the lead before the end of the third quarter when Josh Brown's 48-yard field goal attempt went right.

They went ahead on their next possession when Beckham ran through Miami's zone defense uncovered for an 84-yard touchdown reception and they held on for their win.
