Jets Pull Out Victory Over Giants to Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

The defensive unit looked better than it’s looked all year, putting pressure on Ryan Fitzpatrick almost every play, as they held the Jets to 10 points, while earning a pair of sacks and a forced fumble.

GIANTS: OUT: TE Larry Donnell (neck), LB Devon Kennard (hamstring, foot), S Brandon Meriweather (knee).

Even with Justin Pugh and Weston Richburg back, the line still struggled. PROBABLE: DE Robert Ayers Jr. The Jets tied the game on the inside screen call on a third-and 15 from the Giants 25.

Little else was at stake for two bad teams. The game will be on CBS starting at 1 pm ET and will be from MetLife Stadium as a home game for the Giants. It’s about making the playoffs.

Tom Coughlin was halfway toward the door of the Giants’ postgame press conference room Sunday, a few final questions echoing in his wake. That was back on Halloween of 1993 when the Jets edged the Giants 10-6.

The Giants gambled, and it may have cost them the game – and possibly signaled the end of the Tom Coughlin era.

“This is a statement game for us as far as coming from behind and winning one”, Jets wide receiver Eric Decker said.

Ultimately, the game needed extra time and the Jets and Giants game went to overtime. That doesn’t put him in Takeo Spikes territory; poor guy played 219 games without reaching the playoffs. “It’s a team sport and that’s how we went out there and played, as a team”. You see each other in preseason.

Ed: Las week I also went 3-4, running my season record to 57-26.

Bowles doesn’t remember the teams being big rivals when he was growing up in nearby Elizabeth, and he has a hard time seeing a rivalry now.

“I think there are some things that are off limits”, the Jets wide receiver explained. “They’re not in the same division. We go out and lay an egg next week, then this feeling goes away and you forget about it”.

This time Fitzpatrick led a 71-yard touchdown march that ended on a 9-yard strike to Marshall that was perfectly timed and flawless placed.

“Honestly, it doesn’t matter”, Pierre-Paul said. But it really still does not make much sense. The Giants are just 19th in the league in rushing yards allowed per game. 56 times, or roughly 32 percent.

In hindsight, Beckham might have been able to make the catch with both hands if he tried, but instead chose to showcase his skills, as he has done so often this season, with a one-handed speccy.

Rueben Randle, Hakeem Nicks and Dwayne Harris combined for four catches and 37 yards.

Dalton had a 3-yard run for a score and threw a pair of TD passes.

The Giants haven’t been to the postseason since 2011, and while Manning overall has looked better and better this season, he’s had enough games laiden with interceptions and awkward crunch time mistakes that one has to wonder whether keeping him with a long term deal is the right thing to do for the Giants?

And not a moment too soon given the injuries along the offensive line.

But Marshall was right. The Jets Giants game TV details and how to watch the Giants vs Jets free live streaming can be found just ahead.

Revis was hurt at Houston on November 22 and hadn’t been practicing or even attending meetings.

This group is constantly tortured by running backs in the passing game-Chris Ivory also hauled in five passes on the day. At the break, it was 20-10 Giants.

Marshall’s biggest catch of the game – a nine-yard touchdown grab in traffic – tied the game 20-20 with 27 seconds left in regulation. Decker followed with eight receptions for 101 yards.
