New York Giants beat New York Jets 29-14
Jets v Giants, New York v New York. Two teams sharing not only a city but also a stadium. The Jets and Giants have only met 11 times in total since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 – and perhaps never in a game this significant. Coming into this game at 8-6 and 7-7 respectively, both know that defeat could be fatal to their postseason chances.
And Giants won 29-14. The Giants’ win eliminates the Philadelphia Eagles from the playoff. The Giants host the Cowboys next week, and the winner will claim the NFC East title
