By dinner time on Sunday the New York Giants will either be 3-1 or 2-2 at what roughly equates to the quarter-pole of the NFL’s awkward 17-game season.
A 3-1 record would be nice, and it is certainly within reach with the Giants favored to defeat the passing-challenged Chicago Bears at MetLife Stadium. Winning is always better than losing. It’s more fun to write about, talk about and read about.
Still, a loss Sunday wouldn’t be the end of the world for the Giants. A 2-2 record would be their best four-game mark since 2019, and would surpass where most expected the Giants to be at this point in the season.
