EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Aqib Talib Jersey .J. - Two wins do not make a playoff contender, unless youre in the NFC East. Despite opening the season with six straight losses, the New York Giants (2-6) remarkably are still in the playoff hunt heading into their bye week. The Giants won their second straight game Sunday with a 15-7 decision over the Eagles in Philadelphia. Things only got better after the game when Detroit staged a furious last-minute rally to knock off the division-leading Dallas Cowboys (4-4). The math is simple: New York is two games behind with eight to play. Its not the best position and the chances that the Giants will make the playoffs are not good unless they run the table. "We won our last couple of games, which is a great thing. Are we back?" safety Antrel Rolle asked Monday, and then answered, "Well be back once we reach that post-season. Thats when Ill say that were back. Right now were grinding. Were grinding, were fighting extremely hard and, you know, being 0-6, like I said several times before, can do a lot of things to you. Ive had to dig extremely deep, had to be so mentally tough to overcome it because Ive never been in that stage in my life either. "Right now, as a team, were grinding. Were grinding and were pushing ahead and more importantly were staying together." The Giants still have a chance because they have corrected some of the errors that led to their worst start since coming out of the gate with a franchise-worst nine straight losses in 1976. In the past two games, Eli Manning and the offence have not turned over the ball. The defence, which has improved since getting middle linebacker Jon Beason in a trade with Carolina, has not allowed a point. The only major mistakes have been by special teams that gave up a punt return for a touchdown against Minnesota — the third one this season — and handed the Eagles a recovery for a TD late in the fourth quarter with a bad snap on a punt. The only turnover in the past two games was a lost fumble on a punt return. If they can avoid the turnovers, get the offence a little more in gear and continue to play good defence, the Giants will be competitive. The problem is the Giants have not been a good team in the second half of the season in recent years, and the schedule is tough even with five home games, including three straight out of the bye — Oakland (3-4), Green Bay (5-2) and Dallas. They also have games with the Chargers (4-3), Lions (5-3), Seahawks (6-1 heading into Monday night) and two with Robert Griffin III and the Redskins (2-5). "We havent done nothing yet," said cornerback Terrell Thomas, who made his biggest stride returning from two ACL surgeries by playing every down against Philadelphia. "Were 2-6. It feels great to have two wins. There are smiles around here and everyone is confident. This team has a makeup to make a run. Weve been in this position before and we are better when our backs are against the wall." Coach Tom Coughlin plans to self-scout his team over the bye week and he expects running back Andre Brown, who broke a leg in the preseason, to be ready to return from injured reserve after the bye. "I think theres some excitement," said Coughlin, who did an outstanding job keeping his team together after the horrible start. "Were certainly not blind to the issues that we do have, but by the same token were excited about having an opportunity to improve on those areas and excited about the second half of the year." Defensive end Justin Tuck said the key for the second half will be to continue doing what they have done the past two weeks. "Its really that simple," Tuck said. "We cant allow ourselves to think about the past or future, all we can think about is whats next. Thats the day-to-day life of a football player. We have to make sure once we get back in the swing of things that the only thing were thinking about is Oakland. Not thinking about what Dallas did or Philly or Washington or whoever else. We can control what we can control and thats how we play." While its a long shot, the players still maintain the hope they can be the first team to play in a Super Bowl in their own stadium. The title game at Met Life Stadium, the home of the Giants and Jets, is Feb. 2. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org Shane Ray Jersey .

Venable and Jeremy Hermida drove in three runs apiece, and the Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Sunday to snap a nine-game losing streak.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Milwaukee Bucks will put their two-game winning streak on the line Saturday night when they play host to the Portland Trail Blazers at the Bradley Center. The Bucks, who have won three of their last four, finished off a Florida sweep with wins over the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. On Thursday, Milwaukee earned its first victory in Orlando in 10 years with a 115-100 win. Brandon Knight tallied 16 points, nine assists, five rebounds and four steals to pace the Bucks to their first win in Orlando since Dec. 29, 2004, a stretch that included 17 straight losses. It was a great game, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. From start to finish, our guys executed the game plan. They shared the ball. Jerryd Bayless led seven Bucks in double figures with 19 points. Khris Middleton and Jared Dudley added 17 apiece and John Henson posted 12 points and 11 rebounds in the win. O.J. Mayo scored 13 off the bench and Giannis Antetokounmpo managed 10 points. The Blazers are struggling. Theyve dropped two straight and seven of their last nine, plus, the Blazers have lost five in a row as the visitor, including both stops on this current road trip. After the first visit on the trek was canceled in Brooklyn due to impending snow, Portland lost to a LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, then to the steaming-hot Atllanta Hawks on Friday.

In between setbacks, Blazers guard Damian Lillard was passed over for a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team and was not happy about, stating in an Instagram post he felt disrespected. The Blazers were valiant against the Hawks, but eventually fell, 105-99. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 37 points for Portland a day after he was named to the Western Conference All-Star team. An incredible individual performance, said Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer. We tried to make it difficult on him but he still scored 37. Wesley Matthews added 16 points and Lillard scored 13 with 11 assists for the Blazers. Neither team led by more than six in the game. The Hawks took the lead for good on Al Horfords jumper midway through the fourth quarter. Later, Horfords rebound and Jeff Teagues long pass over the defense led to a dunk for Paul Millsap at the other end to make it a six-point game with 1:30 remaining. The Blazers were never closer than four after that. It was a very competitive game, said Portland coach Terry Stotts. Both teams made runs but they made more plays at the end of the game than we did. The Blazers defeated the Bucks by seven in Portland on Dec. 17 and have won three straight in this series. The teams have split the last 12 meetings in Milwaukee.
