It’s a possibility that no one in the tri-state area wants to admit. But, let’s face it: The so-called rivalry between the New York Jets and New York Giants is one that is literally in-name-only.
Unlike the Subway Series, which guarantees 4-6 meetings between the Yankees and Mets, the Giants and Jets square off only once every four years. Sure, the MetLife Stadium roommates share a preseason tilt every summer, but there’s never any true animosity between the squads. For example, if the Jets somehow faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl, Giants fans would undoubtedly root for their green compatriots.
