It is all right in front of the New York Giants-win Sunday night and the NFC East title and a playoff berth goes to them. A season of ups and downs, another second half struggle, and massive injuries on the defensive side can be all forgotten with 60 solid minutes of football on New Year’s night.The biggest question all week will be simple-Which Giants team will show up for their winner-take-all showdown Sunday night?
The New York Jets and head coach Rex Ryan spent the previous five days taking so many shots at their Meadowlands counterparts, you’d think they were part of the media. Ryan insisted that his team was the best in the city, based on the Jets two consecutive AFC title game appearances compared to the New York Giants two straight seasons missing the playoffs. Giants coach Tom Coughlin used one line to sum it up-“Talk is cheap, play the game,” and that’s exactly what the GMEN did. The Giants let their play do their in a 29-14 win over the Jets Saturday at MetLife stadium. Big Blue not only eliminated the “Dream Team” down in Philly, but they set up a winner-take-all showdown for the NFC East crown next Sunday night against the Cowboys at home.
