The state of the NFC East in 2015 is such that we've grown used to the New York Giants getting help in their idle time. Not the case Sunday, as Washington and Philadelphia both won to improve to 6-7. The Giants are now required to beat the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football in order to stay in the division's three-way first-place tie. Already tiebreaker-challenged, they can't afford to fall a game behind with three to play.
There are many ways the Giants can win this game, but the most important may be up front on the defensive line, where things seemed to click at a higher level last Sunday against the Jets than they had all season.
