Good morning, New York Giants fans! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Here is your Giants Morning Report for this final Friday of the 2014 NFL season.

Eagles' Kelly Lauds Odell Beckham

Odell Beckham has been the best of an incredible rookie wide receiver class. That is no surprise to Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly.

"In my opinion, I thought he was the best in the draft, I think he is showing people that," Kelly said this week.

McClain: Giants have learned trust

Veteran linebacker Jameel Mcclain says that trust is the biggest reason for improved defensive play by the Giants in recent weeks.

"I think we changed drastically. I think we have learned to trust each other better than we had in the beginning of the season," McClain said. "I think we understand the idea of fundamentals and understanding the idea of the scheme, and with that, we become a different team than what you have seen before."
