The New York Giants will go into their Week 10 bye on a high note despite their 3-6 record. That’s because they pulled out a hard-fought victory on Sunday against the favored Las Vegas Raiders.
It wasn’t a pretty game and feels like it would have been a muddy, sloppy mess of a game if it had been played before turf fields. But the Giants managed to hang around, forcing — and capitalizing on — enough mistakes to eke out their third win.
A 3-6 record isn’t great, particularly when your next opponent is the reigning Super Bowl champion, but it’s definitely better than a 2-7 record and going into your bye week with a loss.
