EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The legendary Bill Parcells always said you are what your record says you are.
Well, in that case, the New York Giants (6-2) are one of the best teams in the NFL midway through the season. Only the Philadelphia Eagles (8-0) and Minnesota Vikings (7-1) have better records.
This isn't a supremely talented roster that overpowers opponents. These Giants have been outgained by a total of 200 yards this season and have won six of their seven one-score games. It's a credit to coach Brian Daboll, general manager Joe Schoen and the players.
