ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, who interviewed last offseason for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers head-coaching vacancies, says he is opposed to the NFLs Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate.I think its good to get in front of the decision-makers and let them hear what you have to say, he said Thursday. But at the same time, I think some people take advantage of it. Im not for it. Hire the best man for the job. Thats all I want.Lynn, who is black and has expressed interest in becoming a head coach, purposely avoided head-coaching interviews last offseason that he believed were simply arranged by teams to fulfill the Rooney Rule.Named for Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, the NFL established the rule in 2003 with the intention of giving minority coaches greater opportunity in the hiring process.?The NFL expanded the rule in 2009 to include lead personnel executives such as general managers.I think sometimes people do that to check the box, Lynn said Thursday. I dont agree with it.The Bills promoted Lynn to offensive coordinator in September after firing Greg Roman. Lynn, a former running back for the 49ers and Denver Broncos in the 1990s, had served since 2003 as a running backs coach for various NFL teams. The New York Jets interviewed Lynn for their head-coaching vacancy that opened when Rex Ryan was fired after the 2014 season, but the Jets hired Todd Bowles.[The rule] has its pros and cons, Lynn said. If I didnt do the interview in New York, maybe my name wouldnt be circulating right now, I dont know. But I think its good to get in front of the decision-makers and let them hear what you have to say.Bowles, according to an ESPN study published in July, is the only first-time minority head coach hired over the past five hiring cycles (2012-16).The good thing about the Rooney Rule was not that you had to interview a minority candidate but that it slowed the process down and made you do some research, former NFL coach Tony Dungy told ESPN. But now it seems like in the last few years, people havent really done what the rule was designed for. It has become, Just let me talk to a couple minority coaches very quickly so I can go about the business of hiring the person I really want to hire anyway.ESPN NFL Insider Mike Sando contributed to this report.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Even with Eli Manning toying with Philadelphias secondary for much of the game, the New York Giants barely held off the Eagles on Sunday.Manning threw for four touchdowns and New Yorks defense had two interceptions and three stops on fourth downs to beat Philadelphia 28-23 on Sunday.Philadelphia, the last few years, has had our number, said Manning, whose team had lost five of the last six to the Eagles. Weve played close games, but havent been able to win those close games. So to be able to pull it off today and get that win was nice.The Giants (5-3) won their third straight game, stopping the Eagles (4-4 after a 3-0 start) from the New York 17 after Manning was intercepted with less than two minutes to go.At the end of the game you have to go out there with confidence, confident that you are going to stop them, said cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. We have been playing well in games and when they get the ball down there and our backs are against the wall, we know we have to stand up.Two of Mannings touchdowns went to Odell Beckham Jr., with the others to Roger Lewis Jr. and Sterling Shepard .It was a game marked by big plays on offense -- six of more than 30 yards in the first half alone- and defense (four interceptions) and special teams (Jason Pierre-Pauls block of a field goal , Darren Sproles 66-yard punt return). Most of Sunday, it was a mismatch of Manning and his receiving corps against a sieve of an Eagles secondary. New York picked on every Philly defensive back, with the biggest Leodis McKelvin, no matter who he tried to cover.Less than two minutes in, Landon Collins made his third interception in the last two games; he had one pick as a rookie last year. Manning found Beckham on a slant after McKelvin failed to bump him at the line, and Beckham surged into the end zone for a 26-yard score.Andrew Adams, a rookie safety from UConn, had no interceptions in his previous five games. He sure knew what to do with the ball after hauling in Carson Wentzs high pass moments later, returning it 19 yards. Manning hit Lewis three plays later after McKelvin and Jaylen Watkins collided and it was 14-0.Mannings third TD throw came on a 1-yard jump ball to Beckham over McKelvin to make it 21-10.Wentz looked like a rookie from an FCS school in the first haalf, often appearing befuddled by coverages.dddddddddddd Twice, the Eagles failed on short fourth downs while in field goal range.But he came out of halftime a different player , quickly guiding the Eagles 70 yards to Kenjon Barners 3-yard TD run.Manning, though, was just as precise and decisive on the ensuing drive, capped by his fourth TD throw, 32 yards to rookie Shepard. That gave Manning his first four-TD game since Game 14 last season.Wentz remained much sharper in the second half, leading the Eagles to two field goals by Caleb S
