The landscape can change rapidly in the NFL, and this Sunday’s Week 14 matchup at FedEx Field between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins is a prime example.
A few short weeks ago, when the Redskins came into MetLife Stadium and defeated the Giants 20-13, that dropped the Giants to 1-7. Washington was 5-2, en route to a 6-3 start that had them looking like a surprising, yet serious, threat to win the NFC East.
Now, the Giants (3-8) have won three of four. They may be all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but they enter the week feeling like a team making progress.
