1. Giants keep finding ways to come out on top

The difference between good teams and great teams are the ones who can overcome adversity and record close Ws. The New York Football Giants are not only well coached, but they’re proving they have what it takes to be a great team. This group is somehow 6-1.

With the Giants trailing 17-13 and the offense sputtering in the second half, it really felt like this game was going to end in a defeat. You’ve got to be foolish to count out the Giants in close games, though, as the offense recorded one hell of a drive in the fourth quarter to take its 20-17 lead, with Jones and Saquon Barkley really stepping up. This run from Saquon was unreal:

It had been a relatively quiet day for Barkley, but when his number was called late, he showcased his usual electric abilities. He posted 110 rushing yards when it was all said and done. Jones was able to record his clutch late score too, which was a beautiful thing to see and the NY players were ecstatic. The defense stood strong with the game on the line as well.

Keep things close and the Giants will make you pay. Kirk and the Jags nearly walked things off in devastating fashion, but he was stopped short and NY is 6-1. This feels incredible.
