The New York Giants had a golden opportunity to create separation between themselves and the rest of the NFC East two weeks ago. If the Giants had beaten the Philadelphia Eagles they would now have a firm lead in the division. For now the Giants have a one game cushion on the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles.
While the Giants have failed to prove that they are a playoff caliber team, they remain in the drivers seat for the NFC East crown. The Giants are 4-3. The Redskins and Eagles are 3-4. The Cowboys have lost four straight games without Tony Romo and Dez Bryant.
