It is suddenly fashionable to use the ‘p word’ — playoffs — around the New York Giants. Once 2-8 and looking as though they were playing out the string in a lost season, the Giants have suddenly moved within one game of a playoff spot in the NFC after Monday’s 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
The Giants, perhaps significantly, now own a win over the Packers and have upcoming games with the Saints and Rams. They travel to New Orleans on Sunday.
Quarterback Tommy Devito said the Giants are well aware of their circumstances.
