JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Ryan Hewitt Jersey . - Tom Coughlins much-maligned defence has a chance to look considerably better Sunday.The Giants (3-8) play at Jacksonville (1-10), which is averaging an NFL-low 14.6 points and managed just a field goal in a lopsided loss at Indianapolis last week. It appears to be a favourable matchup for the Giants, who will try to end a six-game losing streak.Coughlin has preached to his team about finishing games, which was the primary problem in losses to Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas the last three weeks.Thats about the story of the season, Coughlin said.The Giants were tied at 17 heading into the fourth quarter at Seattle three weeks ago before losing by 21. Trailing 16-10 late in the fourth against San Francisco the following week, New York had first-and-goal at the 4-yard line before Eli Manning threw an interception.Last weeks loss to Dallas may have been the worst of the bunch.The Giants scored to take a 28-24 with three minutes remaining, but then surrendered an 80-yard touchdown drive that dealt Coughlin his second six-game losing streak in as many seasons.So closing out games has become a trend and a concern.Definitely; I think that is obvious, Giants linebacker Jameel McClain said. We havent completed a game, and finishing is the most important part in football. The cliché statement is Its not how you start, its how you finish. It is really the most important part we have been missing out on.The defence has been the biggest culprit, giving up nearly 400 yards a game and recording just 19 sacks.The unit could enjoy a turnaround against Jacksonville, which has lost four in a row by double digits.Rookie Blake Bortles continues to struggle. He leads the league with 15 interceptions and looks less comfortable in the pocket than he did in his first start two months ago.Granted, Bortles is playing behind a shaky line that includes two rookies and two second-year pros. And hes without leading receiver Allen Robinson, who is out for the season with a foot injury.But the third overall pick has shown little, if any, progress since taking over the starting job in Week 4.You cant replicate games, Bortles said. There are mistakes happening, but its kind of going into the memory bank of, I cant do that again. I can do that here or I can do that there. I think every game is a huge learning experience.Some things to know about the Giants and Jaguars heading into Sundays game:COUGHLIN COMES HOME: Coughlin has a home near Jacksonville, holds his annual charity golf tournament here, and plans to move back when he retires. He has plenty of friends in the area and still has numerous ties to the expansion franchise he built into a Super Bowl contender in the 1990s. Hes 1-0 on the opposing sideline, winning his first return trip in 2010.Its always special, he said. To get there, to come to the stadium, to see many faces that have been friends for a long time, to stand on the sideline, those are all things that are very emotional. My whole family will be there.JENNINGS RETURNS: Coughlin wont be the only one feeling nostalgic Sunday. Running back Rashad Jennings spent the first four years of his career in Jacksonville and is excited to come back where I started, my beginnings. Jennings has 507 yards rushing and two touchdowns this season, but no bitter feelings about Jacksonville not re-signing him. I have nothing but great things (to say) about the organization for believing in me and giving me a chance, he said. I dont have a chip on my shoulder for the organization.MONTH AWAY: The Jaguars are playing at home for the first time in five weeks. Jacksonville last played at EverBank Field on Oct. 26, a 27-13 loss to Miami. Since then, coach Gus Bradleys team has faced Cincinnati on the road, played Dallas in London and followed a bye week with a trip to Indianapolis.BECKHAMS ENCORE: Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. got Jacksonvilles attention — as well as just about everyone everywhere — with his one-handed catch last week. The first-round draft pick finished with 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Hes playing at a high level, Bradley said. His athleticism, his route-running, the ability to accelerate and get out of his breaks.RISING SACKS: One thing the Jaguars have done well this season is sack quarterbacks. They rank third in the NFL with 33 sacks, including five last week against the Colts. New York has yielded 24.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL AJ McCarron Jersey .Y. - The NFL has fined Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch $20,000 for making an obscene gesture during last Sundays NFC championship game, a person with knowledge of the fine told The Associated Press on Thursday. Giovani Bernard Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. http://www.officialbengalsprofanatics.com/Black-Friday-Geno-Atkins-Jersey/ . The Leafs were back on the ice Wednesday following an 10-day break. It apparently wasnt long enough, as Team Canadas 2-1 win over Latvia didnt conclude before the Leafs began practice. "I was thinking we might get a little delay, but it was nice to get out there," said Tyler Bozak of watching Wednesdays game.Simonsig is set to take his chance in the Prix La Barka at Auteuil on Saturday. Trainer Nicky Henderson reports the injury-plagued grey to be ready to return to action after finishing a fine third to Gods Own in the BoyleSports Champion Chase at Punchestown last month.That was only his second start since he won the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham in March 2013. Hes in good shape and is coming in on the back of a good prep under his belt, so were off, said Henderson.It will probably be soft there, but it always is. It looks like being a hot race, but theres not much else for him at this time of year.Willie Mullins Thousand Stars, twice winner of this Group Two hurdle over two miles five and a half furlongs, is among a total of 19 horses at the latest forfeit stage, as is his stablemate Un De Sceaux.Ballynagour will attempt to claim back-to-back victories after scoring by five lengths 12 months ago.He will be joined this time by talented but enigmatic stablemate Gevrey Chambertin. Jordan Willis Jersey. Pipe confirmed the two runners will leave England for France on Wednesday evening ahead of a race which is recognised as a trial for the French Champion Hurdle.While it is a big ask, conditions clearly suit our charges and we will be doing our best once again, the Pond House handler told www.davidpipe.com.The Paul Nicholls Ptit Zig, Nick Williams Aubusson and Al Ferof from Dan Skeltons stable are other British possibles.The French team is headed by the Guy Cherel-trained pair of Bosseur and Blue Dragon.
