It’s not a matchup that comes around often, but the New York Giants are about to meet the New York Jets on Sunday to see which team is the best in the city – even if both teams are undeniably in a bad state right now, with the Giants having only two wins in their name and the Jets only having one. Any expectations for the season were shattered early on for both teams, but there’s something other than record at stake here: pride.
Based on the run up to the game, it seems that the Jets might be the team more motivated to play for pride, while much of the conversation around the Giants has centered around whether or not the team will and should fire head coach Pat Shurmur for his failures to make an improvement from last year.
