If all the green and blue talk this week showed one thing, it's that there may be 50 shades of rivalry in the NFL.
As Jets head coach Todd Bowles said, "I don't think it's a rivalry because we don't play the Giants as much." True, Sunday's meeting at MetLife Stadium is only the teams' 13th since 1970. (As an aside, not once have both teams come in with winning records.)
Yet since these organizations have shared the same stadium since 1984, played each other in the preseason every year since 1969, and split up the New York metro area since 1960, this is a different breed of spat.
