Some tried to downplay the Jets-Giants "rivalry" angle, but the two teams apparently didn't get the memo with a closely played game and several scuffles and penalties fitting of a division get-together.
But one thing necessary for a true NFL rivalry is some big games that mean something with a Green & White win at the end. And the Jets, after five consecutive losses to their stadium mates, finally responded with a remarkable comeback from a 20-10 deficit with less than five minutes left in regulation to a stunning 23-20 overtime triumph that keeps them rolling in the AFC Wild Card chase.
