The regular season is almost over for the New York Giants. Their final game will take place this Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, concluding what’s been a third consecutive losing season.
New York essentially has nothing to play for when it comes to the standings. If they win, they end the year at 5-11, the same as 2018. If they lose, they end up at 4-12. They’re finishing in third place in the division either way. So the motivation is non-existent, right?
Absolutely wrong. This Sunday, if the Giants defeat the Eagles and the Cowboys defeat the Redskins, it eliminates Philly from postseason contention.
