In other years, it would have been just like Big Blue to lose this game against the banged-up Falcons. Not in 2014, though. Not on Sunday.
Count on more blowouts, especially on Sunday when Denver comes to MetLife Stadium. Right now that game looks like a mismatch for the ages--parity be damned.
That left-over feeling of 'what can go wrong next' from last season is being replaced with that belief that somehow, someone is going to make a play to win the game.
Coach Rex Ryan blamed himself after Sunday's 31-0 undressing in San Diego. Geno Smith said his performance was pathetic. The Jets are a mess.
I would rather walk from West New York, New Jersey to the East Side of Manhattan in cold, driving rain -- dodging daredevil bicyclists and taxis emulating freshly beheaded chickens — than listen to somebody talk about his or her fantasy football team.
There appears to be no stopping Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and the rest of the San Diego Chargers. The New York Jets, meanwhile, are simply a mess.
First-round draft pick Odell Beckham Jr. made his NFL debut a memorable one, catching a go-ahead 15-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning with 10:02 left to lead the New York Giants to a 30-20 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
While Philip Rivers is off to a torrid start for the AFC West-leading San Diego Chargers, Geno Smith's struggles with the New York Jets are drawing calls for his replacement.
Matt Ryan guides one of the NFL's best offenses, though how the Atlanta Falcons will function with the ball now is a serious question mark due to a depleted offensive line.
Smith was walking off the field following the 24-17 defeat when he looked into the stands at a heckler and yelled at him, using an expletive.
Whatever elixir the New York Giants drank between weeks two and three of the NFL regular season should be saved for future use. Not only did the team even its record at 2-2 over the past two weeks; they also have become healthier than we have seen in several seasons. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons come into MetLife Stadium sporting the same 2-2 record but with a fistful of question marks, especially across the offensive line.
Is there a better time of the year for sports than now? Well, depends on what you like. Here are five of the best sports months.
Along with getting Smith some confidence that he can do the job in the bright lights of New York City, the Jets also need to focus in on a San Diego team that very easily could be 4-0 (lost in season opener to Arizona 18-17) had it not blown an early 17-6 fourth quarter lead against the Cardinals.
Let's break down the five JB locks in NFL Week 5 against the spread.
While Philip Rivers is off to a torrid start for the AFC West-leading Chargers, Geno Smith's struggles with the Jets are drawing calls for his replacement.
Here are four sports stories you may have missed this week.
It was another Thursday night blowout, as the Packers dominated the Vikings 42-10 last night in Green Bay. The Packers moved to 3-2, while Minnesota is 2-3, struggling on offense without Teddy Bridgewater, who was inactive with a sprained ankle.
Donnell, an inch taller than Plaxico Burress, could become New York's next great end zone-target -- a regular customer for the Eli Manning fade pass.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the appointment Thursday after consulting with DeMaurice Smith, the players' union executive director.
Smith was asked if it could help the Jets by putting Michael Vick in for not just a play or two, but an entire quarter — and he, predictably and understandably, bristled.
Quick, think of your worst loss ever in fantasy football. Big Blue's breakout tight end has you beat.
The deal includes rights to stream the package live. AT&T is in the process of acquiring DirecTV for $48.5 billion, making the expanded possibilities for mobile particularly attractive.
The Jets great was the first patient in an experiment by a Florida hospital to see if bathing the body in pure oxygen might restore blood flow to injured areas of the brain.
The Minnesota Vikings are set to take on the Green Bay Packers on "Thursday Night Football," and these are both two teams that are starting to turn their season around. Former NFL quarterback Steve Beuerlein of CBS Sports took a few moments to speak about the NFC North contest this Thursday.
The New York Giants have certainly not seen a return on their investment in Odell Beckham, Jr. Beckham, selected 12th overall in the May NFL draft from LSU, has not played in a game this season, something that he hopes changes this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
