EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Spending a lot of money to sign free agents is never a guarantee that it will turn a losing team around. Sometimes, the new people just dont work out. Sometimes, the chemistry never develops.Two games into the NFL season, the New York Giants decision to sink more than $100 million into the NFLs worst defense is working out just fine.The Giants are off to their first 2-0 start since 2009, and the defense has played a major role, allowing a combined 32 points in wins over Dallas and New Orleans (0-2).Steve Spagnuolos unit was outstanding Sunday in limiting Drew Brees and the Saints high-scoring offense to 288 yards in a 16-13 decision that was decided when Victor Cruz hauled in a 34-yard pass to set up Josh Browns winning 23-yard field goal as time expired.I didnt really know what to expect to be honest, said cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who was signed as a free agent, along with defensive end Olivier Vernon and defensive tackle Damon Harrison. But as spring went on, I started working with guys like DRC (Dominique Rodger-Cromartie) and Eli Apple and the linebackers and we realized that we could have something special.The last time the Giants faced the Saints, Brees threw for 511 yards and tied a single-game NFL record with seven touchdown passes in a 52-49 win. His longest pass Sunday was 23 yards and New Orleans was limited to 3 of 13 on third down.Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul says the defense is a lot better than a year ago.It wasnt fifty-plus points, he said. Thats a good quarterback out there and everybody knows that. He was getting rid of the ball quickly and I was getting frustrated out there and those guys, too, were frustrated but we just had to keep our composure and got the job done.The Saints blamed themselves for a second straight close loss. Their defense forced three turnovers and did not allow a touchdown.Dont get me wrong, thats a good defense over there, but they didnt do anything special to stop us, Saints receiver Brandin Cooks said. We felt like we bit ourselves in the foot so many times, we stopped ourselves on the offensive side.Things we learned as the Giants improve to 2-0 under new coach Ben McAdoo with a win over the Saints:THE BIG THREE: There was talk throughout training camp that Eli Manning was going to have a big year if Odell Beckham Jr., rookie Sterling Shepard and Cruz could play together.The three came through against the Saints, combining for 20 catches for 294 yards. Beckham had eight catches for 86 and drew a pass interference on the final drive. Shepard had eight catches for 117 and caught a third-down pass for 6 yards to keep the final drive alive. Cruzs 34-yard catch came on a third-and-8 on the final drive.As long as we continue to understand what each others best roles are and what our best attributes are, and continue to do them, said Cruz, who had four catches for 91 yards, with his longest of 40 yards, ending in a lost fumble, I think the sky is the limit for us.NOT OUT OF IT:Despite their 0-2 start, the Saints are far from out of it. They have lost two games by a total of four points.We know what we can do, we know the type of performance we had on defense today kind of showed that, cornerback Sterling Moore said. We can go out there with anybody, no matter what talent level they have, no matter how young we are on defense. So were going to get frustrated, were going to go back to work and keep grinding.DONT GET TOO EXCITED:While the Giants are winning, they have outscored their two opponents by a total of four points. They need to improve to get back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2011 season.And that 2009 team, it won its first five games. It finished 8-8.INJURIES:Saints coach Sean Payton did not have an update on cornerback P.J. Williams after the game. The second-year player was taken off the field on a stretcher after hitting his head against tight end Larry Donnells knee and seconds later being hit in the back of the helmet by a helmet.New Orleans also had right tackle Zach Strief leave with a chest injury.Giants RT Marshall Newhouse left with a calf injury and S Mykkele Thompson had a knee injury.BROWN BACK:Brown kicked field goals of 48, 19 and 23 yards in his return after serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFLs personal conduct policy.Its good to be back, said Brown who spent the week at home with his daughter. Long week last week. It was hard to watch the game. It was great to be out there and be able to kick again.Brown refused to answer questions about his former wifes allegations that he subjected her to domestic violence more than 20 times. No charges were filed relating to his arrest in that May 2015 incident.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL DOnta Foreman Jersey .

Netballs version of the irresistible force and immovable object will clash in a potentially thrilling final round of the trans-Tasman competition.The order and identities of the top-three Australian conference teams to go into the finals series still have to be determined.First-placed NSW Swifts and defending champions Queensland Firebirds are level on points.They are separated by just four per cent with NSW holding a 29-goal superior for-and-against.The Swifts host unbeaten New Zealand conference leaders Southern Steel on Saturday.The Firebirds go a day later at home to West Coast Fever, who will need to win to claim the third and last Australian conference finals spot.They are equal on points with Melbourne Vixens, who are three per cent and 21 goals worse off going into an easier final-round fixture away to the struggling Pulse in Wellington.Pulse still have some hope of joining the Steel and the Magic as the New Zealand conference finals series contestants if they beat Vixens, as they are level on points with the Mystics and Tactix, who meet in Auckland.You couldnt have planned it any better really, could you,? Swifts defender Sharni Layton said of the final-round draw.For us, its a really exciting game coming into finals. Its going to really test us to see where were at..ddddddddddddou want to be coming up against the best at the end of the year, because you want to see how youre going and we dont really know.Australian Diamonds defender Laytons duel with the Steels prolific Jamaican shooter Jhaniele (Jhaniele) Fowler-Reid could be a vital factor in the outcome at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre.Fowler-Reid needs only 37 goals for a competition season-record tally of 668, overhauling the 2013 mark set by Jamaican compatriot and Firebirds sharpshooter Romelda Aiken.The Steel spearhead leads the league in rebounds, while tenacious defender Layton, who is 11cm smaller, tops the competition in deflections and intercepts.Fowler-Reid has added another dimension to her game this season, according to Layton.She is arguably up there as the hardest shooter to play on, probably there with her Jamaican mate Romelda, Layton said.In previous years, what would have differentiated Romelda and Jhaniele would have been the athleticism of Romelda but, this year, Jhaniele has that as well and really developed as a player.Shes been moving more this year. Shes been taking longer shots which means shes got more confidence in herself.
