EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- In his rookie season as coach, Ben McAdoo has taken the New York Giants into somewhat neglected territory.The Giants (8-3) are in the playoff hunt for the first time since 2012, a year they faltered down the stretch, winning two of their last five games to finish 9-7.Despite riding a six-game winning streak and the second best record in the NFC, New York is going to have to work to make the playoffs for the first time since winning the Super Bowl in February 2012.It has the AFC North co-leading Steelers (6-5) in Pittsburgh on Sunday. NFC East leader Dallas (10-1), whose only loss is to the Giants, is at MetLife Stadium on Dec. 11, followed by NFC North-leading Detroit (7-4) on the 18th.Four days later, the Giants face the rival Eagles on the road, and close out the schedule at Washington on Jan. 1. The Redskins (6-4-1) have the second-best record in the wild-card race, right behind the Giants.For a team that has not put it all together this season, especially on offense, the playoffs are not guaranteed.As a team, where do we go from here? McAdoo asked. Its December football. This is where the real football begins. All our hard work to this point has set the table for December. Its an exciting time against a lot of playoff teams and playoff environments. The margin for error is small. This is where our identity needs to take over.The Giants identity has been that of a team that gets things done. For the most part, it has been star players stepping up and making plays.In the 27-13 decision over the Browns (0-12) on Sunday, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul led the way with seven tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble return for a touchdown. Eli Manning added three touchdown passes, including two to Odell Beckham Jr.The constant in the winning streak has been the play of the defense, which has been led by safety Landon Collins.McAdoo insists the Giants wont be focused on making the playoffs.I think its important to address the elephant in the room, so to speak, McAdoo said. Everything gets cranked up a notch in December with everyone jockeying for position. We just need to make sure we play our best football moving forward.If any group has to step up, its the offense. It has been inconsistent most of the season, especially the running game.While the Giants scored 27 points against the Browns, the defense set up the first touchdown with a turnover at the Cleveland 31 in the second quarter. Pierre-Pauls return got another touchdown.Special teams also need to improve. Cleveland got three points after Bobby Rainey muffed a punt, and a Mark Herzlich holding penalty nullified a punt return for a touchdown by Beckham in the fourth quarter.I think its great that we have players that can change the game in one play, McAdoo said. We need to be mentally dialed-in to play a complete game at all three phases for four-plus quarters. We really need to cash in on that in December.Game notes McAdoo refused to say whether Beckham would continue to return punts down the stretch. ... Herzlich and safety Nat Berhe were hurt in the game and are starting the week in the concussion protocol. Its the second time this season for Berhe. ... Rookie receiver Sterling Shepard not only failed to catch a pass for the first time this season, he also was not targeted. McAdoo called it unfortunate. Were not completing enough balls or moving the chains as much as we need to move the chains for everyone to get involved. ... Its too early to tell whether Gs Justin Pugh (knee), Brett Jones (calf) and Marshall Newhouse (knee) will be able to practice this week, McAdoo said. ... McAdoo did not know if RB Shane Vereen, who has been on injured reserve with a triceps injury since Week 3, would practice this week.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Filip Forsberg Jersey .

SAINT-DENIS, France -- Expanding the European Championship has paid off for UEFA, which expects to make a record profit of 830 million euros ($917 million).UEFAs projected tournament finances published Friday showed total revenue of 1.93 billion euros ($2.13 billion) for the expanded 24-team tournament.The numbers are positive, UEFA interim general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said at a news conference, adding that a larger event was a big success.Revenue is forecast to rise by 34 percent -- earned from 20 extra matches -- over Euro 2012, which had 16 teams and 31 matches played in Poland and Ukraine.Four years ago, UEFAs profit was 593.7 million euros (then $724 million) from its most lucrative competition, according to its financial accounts for that year.UEFA leaders, including Theodoridis and senior vice president Angel Maria Villar, praised Michel Platini, the European football bodys outgoing president who will serve a FIFA ban from official duty until 2019.Platinis pledge to add eight more teams to the tournament was key to him being elected in 2007, and he worked in 2010 with Nicolas Sarkozy, then president of France, to help its hosting bid beat Turkey in a 7-6 vote of UEFA executive committee members.Frances hosting of UEFA Euro 2016 is down to one man: Michel Platini, Villar said at the briefing at Stade de France, where the home nation plays Portugal in the final on Sunday. Michel can be proud, very proud, of his Euro.Still, UEFA does not expect Platini to accept its invitation to attend the match.Platinis tournament legacy inccludes letting UEFA bank 230 million euros ($254 million) from Euro 2016 to cover its own running costs for the next four years.ddddddddddddUEFAs profit will also provide 600 million euros ($663 million) for its 55 member federations for development projects over the next four years.The money was earned by: Broadcast rights of just over 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion); sponsorship and licensing deals worth 480 million euros ($530 million); and sales of tickets and hospitality earning 400 million euros ($441 million).Spending by UEFA on Euro 2016 included 650 million euros ($718 million) on organizing the event; 301 million euros ($333 million) in team prize money; and 150 million euros ($168 million) to clubs for releasing their players to the finals tournament and qualifying matches.UEFA can point to its financial results as an argument for keeping the 24-team format beyond Euro 2020, despite criticism that the quality of football has declined.Many analysts viewed the 16-team format as a perfect number for a tournament bracket and to ensure top teams played against each other in the group stage.The success of surprise semifinalist Wales and quarterfinalist Iceland is also part of UEFAs argument for maintaining the bigger event.There are no small teams in Europe anymore, said Villar, a potential candidate to succeed Platini in a Sept. 14 election. This fresh air is justification for the tournaments 24 team format.
