Few saw this coming: Past the one-third point of the NFL season, both the Giants (5-1) and Jets (4-2) are in playoff position and making believers with each underdog victory.
The Giants, with a point differential of plus-14 through six weeks, are either finding ways to win behind a heavy dose of Saquon Barkley, clutch defense and Brian Daboll’s influence as head coach, or their record is the product of a lot of luck. The Jets, winners of three in a row since quarterback Zach Wilson returned to the lineup, have been relying on Robert Saleh’s increasingly fearsome defense, and might be seeing the AFC clearing up behind the Bills and Chiefs.
So which revival are you buying more, and which of New York’s previously moribund franchises might actually reach the postseason? Discuss below.
