Don’t look now, but while the New York Giants were busy lifting their forks and spoons during the Thanksgiving holiday, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys lost their respective Turkey Day games, serving the Giants with a golden opportunity to snap a three-year skid without a playoff berth.
While technically no one has been eliminated in the NFC East, the Giants can certainly help expedite the process by taking care of business this weekend down in Washington.
A win would give the Giants a 6-5 record, putting them two games ahead of Washington and the Eagles, who would be both 4-7, and three games ahead of the 3-8 Cowboys.
