The Giants are beyond must-win games.
They are now in must-not-lose territory.
Such is the state of professional football in New York that the Jets and Giants will play on Sunday not to determine which is the best team in the city, but which is not the worst. With three wins between them, neither can imagine the abject humiliation and deflation of losing to the other.
“Definitely don’t want to lose to the Jets,” Giants safety Michael Thomas said on Monday after the 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.
