Asked if this season can be considered a success if the Giants fail to win the NFC East and reach the playoffs, tight end Evan Engram got a confused look on his face.
"I don’t really understand the question," he said on Monday.
That’s because on its face, the idea is absurd. This the NFL and there is only one standard by which seasons are judged. It’s got a big silver football on top of it and it’s awarded each February. Being one of the 14 teams to make the postseason this year is the next step toward that achievement.
