Eleven games in to the 2016 season, the New York Giants are 8-3, riding their longest winning streak in eight years.
The 2008 Giants — the last Giants team to win six straight — are looked at as one of the best teams the franchise has ever fielded (at least until a certain nightclub incident and key injuries depleted their defensive depth). That Giants’ team featured one of the league’s top defenses and the offense featured the NFL’s top running game and the third-ranked scoring offense.
My college roommate — who is NOT a football fan -- described the team that took the field for the first three quarters of the season perfectly: A meat grinder.
