The New York Giants (10-5) entered Week 16 looking to clinch a playoff berth, but things got off to a bumpy start with a 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. Even so, there were a plethora of playoff opportunities for New York, and the team hit pay dirt when the New Orleans Saints downed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. The Bucs’ loss clinched a Wild Card playoff berth for the G-Men.
Meanwhile, the Washington Redskins (8-6-1) are still alive in the playoff race. But a loss to Big Blue would likely end any possibility for the post-season for Washington.
