Jets Vs. Giants Has Meaning This Time
Not too different this week.
But the Giants were unable to score a single point in the entire second half, or in overtime, and Fitzpatrick found it much easier to move the ball. Big Blue rushed for just 33 total yards. That preceded a Giants three-and-out and yet another lost opportunity to end strong. Yes, that’s three sacks.
In Week 10 against New England, the Giants were up 26-24 with less than two minutes to play, giving them an 89.7 percent win probability, which still stodd at 72.9 percent with seven seconds on the clock. Adding a little extra drama was the Giants’ domination of this series; the last time the Jets beat them was Halloween of 1993.
They received clutch performances from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Marshall, Bilal Powell and Randy Bullock, who kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime.
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter”, Pierre-Paul said. Giants vs Jets scores and results will be posted here.
The Giants really have a odd offense. “If you see me out there at the national anthem, it’s a go…” And one of the best quarterbacks.
“If Marcus can’t go, they’re interchangeable”, Bowles said. It’s a small part of a big problem for an offense that doesn’t run the ball well and doesn’t have a consistent playmaker outside of Odell Beckham. I still do, ” Coughlin said.
It’s what we saw Sunday. And the Giants played hot potato again with the run game, leaning heavily on Andre Williams early, then mixing in Orleans Darkwa, and throwing Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen in on some passing plays. The Giants have struggled to establish any sort of running game this season, ranking among the worst in the league in yards per game at 88.
Poor kickoff coverage allowed the Giants’ offense to start on their own 42-yard line. Unfortunately for the G-Men, it went wide left to end the game. Some keys to the game are as follows. He missed the last two games with a severely sprained left ankle. Odell Beckham kicking that football is inexcusable.
It’s starting to seem like more of a curse than a blessing, because every time Beckham makes a spectacular play, the Giants lose.
Perhaps it is fitting that the first field goal Josh Brown missed this season would be a relatively easy 48-yard attempt that ended the game, likely the season, and perhaps Tom Coughlin’s career. It was Beckham’s sixth touchdown in his past five games. The Giants could have taken control of the NFC East division and now the Redskins have the lead and will play the Cowboys on Monday.
Special teams have been a headache for the Jets all season and that continued early in the second quarter as the Jets allowed punt return for a touchdown to Dwayne Harris.
With so much at stake, the extracurricular verbal skirmishes that make the game so much fun for the teams’ fans don’t even appear on the radar of those whose fates will be determined in large measure by what happens on the field.
