EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are back and so is Jason Pierre-Paul.Pierre-Paul had 2+ sacks in probably his most dominant performance since mangling his right hand in a fireworks accident on July 4, 2015. The Giants posted their fifth straight win by rallying for a 22-16 decision over the injury-plagued Chicago Bears on a windy Sunday at MetLife Stadium.The winning streak is the longest in the regular season for the Giants (7-3) since 2010. It has them in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2011. The Bears (2-8) are off to their worst start since 2002.With winless Cleveland on the schedule next weekend, there is no reason for the Giants streak to end. The offense has been coming up with enough plays, and the defense has been nailing the door shut.A concern for opponents is that the line is suddenly starting to get pressure. Olivier Vernon had one of the Giants four sacks and JPP stole the show, his total matching the amount from the eight games he played last season after recovering from his injury.JPP is JPP, man, Vernon said. Aint nothing changed about him. He is still a beast out there.After Eli Manning gave the Giants the lead with third-quarter touchdown passes to Will Tye and Sterling Shepard , the defense finished its second-half shutout. Of course, there was a little excitement.After being limited to two first downs, Jay Cutler drove the Bears to the Giants 30 at the two-minute warning.On first down, Pierre-Paul came around left end and got a strip-sack that cost Chicago 14 yards.I even told some guys that it is time to blow up, it is on us and guys responded, Pierre-Paul said. I responded myself. I cant just do the talking, I have to show up, and we came out with a win, guys.After a procedure penalty, safety Landon Collins iced the game with his fifth interception in the past four games.Anytime you can end the game on a play like that, thats encouraging, coach Ben McAdoo said. Sideline was fired up, we were fired up for Landon, he made a heck of a play.Thats the way its been for the Giants these days, which is a far cry from 6-10 records the team posted the past two years.Every game has been a little different; theyve all been close, theyve all come down to the last series, Manning said. Offense, defense, everybodys stepping up and doing their part to get wins.Here are some things learned in the game:DECIMATED BEARS: The Bears are getting to the point where they are running out of healthy players .Linebacker Leonard Floyd, who leads NFL rookie with five sacks, left the game on a stretcher in the fourth quarter with a neck injury. He was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and was later released and traveled with the team back to Chicago.Tight end Zach Miller also left with a possible broken right foot. Defensive back CreVon LeBlanc is in the concussion protocol and left guard Josh Sitton injured his right ankle.Coming into the game, the Bears were missing right tackle Bobbie Massie (concussion), nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle), and defensive end Mitch Unrein (back). Wide receiver Alshon Jeffery served the first game of a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs policy on performance enhancers. Guard Kyle Long was placed on injured reserve last week with ankle and shoulder injuries.MISSED PATS: The crosswind blowing at MetLife Stadium gave kickers Robbie Gould and Connor Barth problems.Gould missed two extra points and Barth missed an extra point and had a 51-yard field goal bounce off the upright.The first one I hit was where I was hitting them in pregame, Gould said. I thought I made it and it went outside the left upright. The second one I just didnt hit a good ball. Today was tough, but I have to make them.RUNNING GIANTS: New York is starting to find a running game. It rushed for 102 yards one week after running for 122 yards in a victory vs. Cincinnati. This is the first time the Giants have had back-to-back 100-yard rushing games since Nov. 30-Dec. 7, 2014 at Jacksonville and Tennessee. Rashad Jennings led the way with 85 yards on 21 carries.BIG MOUTH: Linebacker Pernell McPhee bragged early in the week his defense was going to knock down Manning a few times on Sunday and add to Chicagos sack total of 24.The Giants offensive line shut kept Manning upright. He was not sacked.It was what it was, you put on the film, youll see, McPhee said of the Bears pass rush. I think he `(Manning) did a great job of getting the ball out fast, he did a great job of mixing it up. I think we came in prepared and ready to rush, we just never got him behind the chains.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Thibaut Courtois Belgium Jersey .com) - Following a late-game loss to the reigning NBA champs, the Toronto Raptors will look to sustain their recent high-level play as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers.

An LGBTQ advocacy group has sent a letter to the commissioner of the Big 12 urging the conference to remove BYU from consideration for membership because it says the school has discriminatory policies.Athlete Ally, a nonprofit group that works with sports leagues and organizations on educational and awareness programs, wrote in a letter sent Monday that ... through its policies, BYU is very clear about its intent to discriminate against openly LGBT students ...BYU is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The Cougars football program has a long tradition of success and a large national following.Along with schools such as Central Florida, Cincinnati, Colorado State, Connecticut and Memphis, BYU is considered a strong expansion candidate for the Big 12.In an interview with the AP last month, BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said he was not concerned that the schools religious affiliation would stand in the way of its attempts to join the Big 12.We fully intend that when we have an opportunity to meet with them and have discussions that theyre going to ask us questions that theyre going to have about everything, every aspect (of the school).But certaainly that could be one of the things, and specifically were not sure what they would ask regarding that but we would answer every one of the questions, Holmoe said on July 22.ddddddddddddSome of the things that they might ask specifically about the church were prepared to answer those questions and we have people other than coaches or an AD, although I could answer, that would ... either have the authority to answer correctly or specifically.LGBTQ rights have been a hot button issue in college sports in recent years and the NCAA has taken an aggressive stance against laws it deems to be discriminatory.The board in April adopted a requirement for host sites of its sanctioned tournaments and events to demonstrate how they will provide an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination and also safeguards the dignity of everyone involved in the event.Last month the NCAA said it would be sending a questionnaire to future and potential host city organizing groups to gauge whether they would provide an environment that is safe, healthy, and free of discrimination.The NCAA last year helped apply pressure that led to Indiana changing a law that its critics called discriminatory against LGBTQ people. North Carolina is now facing similar pressure over the law known as HB2 that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.Utah has nondiscrimination laws, but BYU as a private school is exempt.Big 12 members Baylor and TCU are private schools with church affiliations. Baylor, a Baptist university, last year modified a school policy on sexual misconduct to remove a reference to homosexual acts. The Baptist Faith and Message of 1963, which guides the schools policies, does define marriage as a union of one man and one woman.TCU is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ Church and has a non-discrimination statement that references sexual orientation and gender identity.Bowlsby did not respond immediately to a text message from the AP asking for comment Monday night, but he told Fox: I am not prepared to make any comments on our process at this time.
