EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When it comes to NFL officials, New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr . has a hard time holding his tongue.Three days after complaining about the work of referee Terry McAulay and his crew in New Yorks loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh, Beckham was asked about coach Ben McAdoo seemingly backing him up on Monday.Beckham had said after the game he did not want to see McAulay and his crew at another game this season.While McAdoo did not criticize the officials, the rookie head man said the Giants intended to ask the NFL for clarifications on some rulings in the game, and there were a lot of them.Beckham, who has 75 catches for 1,015 yards and eight touchdowns, said Wednesday that he wasnt surprised by his coachs comment.Beckham, who seemed to be grabbed around the waist a few times before passes reached him, then went off again.Like I said, everyone knows whats going on on the field, the 24-year-old said. Everyone can see it. Stevie Wonder can see it. It just is what it is. You cant do anything about it. Theres no point. I shouldnt have even brought it up. Its always a lose-lose situation. Either youre speaking out on it and trying to defend yourself or the other way around in which youre complaining.Either way it goes, I shouldnt have ever brought it up, Beckham said. Nothing is going to change. No calls are going to be made because of what I say now. You just have to keep playing. You know what youre going against. Its the Giants against everyone. I wouldnt want it any other way.Sunday, the opponent for Beckham and the Giants (8-4) will be the Dallas Cowboys (11-1), who have won 11 straight after losing the season opener to New York.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Josh Reddick Jersey .

Carlos Correa Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Twickenham played host to two Aviva Premiership matches on Saturday with the straight-forward win for Saracens over Worcester kicking things off, followed by Harlequins entertaining, nervy victory over Bristol. We were there to assess the early season form of the four sides and here are some of the key lessons learnt from the traditional Double Header.Bristol arent here to make up the numbersThey played with heart and ambition against Harlequins with Will Hurrell impressing on his debut alongside Gavin Henson, who played superbly until he was forced off through injury.Though they lost, Bristol look to have the right foundations for a Premiership campaign with the hugely experienced Jordan Crane steering things well at the back of the scrum while the brilliant Jack Lam causes all sorts of mischief at the breakdown.While they may need to bolster their squad in a manner similar to how Worcester did last season, perhaps their most important signing of the close season was their new defence coach Jonathan Thomas. The ex-Wales flanker has built a sturdy resilience in the Bristol ranks which will need to be stamped all over their gameplan if they are to retain their top-flight status.Alex Lozowski starts well for SaracensWith Owen Farrell watching on from underneath a baseball cap on the Saracens bench, it was down to young playmaker Alex Lozowski to pull the strings. Signed from Wasps in the summer, he joined Saracens with promising talent written adjacent to his name, but he has had to hit the ground running with Farrell sidelined by a back injury and Charlie Hodgson now retired.He played well against Worcester, directing the backs with aplomb and dovetailed well with Alex Goode with kicking from hand. He was on the wrong end of some rough justice from GJ Van Velze and a high shot from James Johnston but played the full 80 and looked right at home.Ben Teo needs a platform to shineWith Worcesters game plan focused on gaining territory through kicking, there were seldom opportunities for Teo to get hands on ball. His role was more focused around hard-hitting in defence -- Jamie George felt the full Teo force -- and restricting the space for Saracens backs.If Worcester are to improve on last seasons 11th-placed finish then they will need to add other dimensions to their approach. This was most likely one tailored to cope with the champions, and only when they play a more expansive game -- one where the ball gets beyond the fly-half -- will Teo be able to showcase his attacking potential.ddddddddddddJoe Marchants mixed afternoonThe 20-year-old is a talent and this run-out at Twickenham will be a key stepping stone in his development. He has the potential to rival Jonathan Joseph for the England outside centre berth and his brilliant finish in the first-half of Harlequins nervy win over Bristol showcased his wonderful footwork.Then came the slip for Ryan Edwards try where he succumbed to the slippery Twickenham turf and looked on despairingly as the Bristol winger dotted the ball down. But the potential is there, hes on Englands radar and this should be the campaign where he makes his breakthrough.Tom Varndell closes in on Mark Cuetos recordWhen Varndell dropped down to the Championship with Bristol, Cueto -- the Premierships record try-scorer Cueto -- have breathed a sigh of relief. His 90-try haul from his time at Sale is still the most scored in Englands top flight but Varndell is back with Bristol and his first-half score takes his tally to 86.Varndells finishing will be key for Bristol if they are to survive this season and he knows the Premiership like the back of his hand. However, he will want to forget his momentary lapse of concentration as he attempted to charge down a Ruaridh Jackson penalty.Forward pass ambiguity shows its ugly headNew rules were being enforced by the referees at Twickenham with officials cracking down on back chat as well as defenders kicking the ball out of the scrum-halfs hands as they prepare to pick it up from the base of the breakdown. But another needs sorting: the troublesome, debatable forward pass.In Friday nights spectacular match at Kingsholm, Leicesters first try through Manu Tuilagi looked for all the world as if there was a forward pass in the build-up. In Saturdays second match at Twickenham, the pass leading up to Tusi Pisis try looked suspect and then came Marland Yardes inside ball for Marchants sprint home which again seemed to be forward -- certainly the ex-pros on social media believed so.Referee Luke Pearce referred it to the TMO, Rowan Kitt, who said he didnt have a clear angle to show the referee. Pearce gave the benefit of doubt to the attacking side, calling on the directive that Yardes hands didnt appear to be pointed forwards, but ask 100 supporters on the street and 99 would say it went forward.
