It wasn't a great week for those NFL fans living in New York City who root for local teams (which you should). Both of New York's professional football teams lost games that they were expected to win, and both in some pretty spectacularly horrible ways.
Let's start with the NewYork Jets. Sanchez had another disappointing game, and the Jets lost to the surging Denver Broncos. I do not know what Tim Tebow has going out there in the Mile High City, but he has the Broncos inspired, and his run of 20+ yards to give Denver the lead and the victory will certainly keep them inspired. Denver is now 5-5, and the Jets have the same disappointing record as well.
The Giants appeared to have an easy victory this weekend, as they were playing a reeling Philadelphia Eagles team that was without starting quarterback Michael Vick (out with a rib injury). Backup Vince Young (yeah, he still plays) took his spot, and it seemed like the Giants were poised to get a win, which they desperately needed to try and maintain pace with the Dallas Cowboys, who had beaten the Washington Redskins earlier in the day an an exciting overtime thriller.
Unfortunately for the Giants, no one told Philadelphia that they were supposed to get beaten today, and Philly came out and pulled off a 20-13 victory, sealed when Eli Manning got blindsided and fumbled the ball away on what appeared to be the Giant's tying drive at the end of the fourth quarter. The Eagles then pulled off a spectacular running play of over 60 yards to ice the game, and the Giants went into the locker room as losers yet again.
Anything NYC this might be, but I sure would prefer to write about some New York victories in the National Football League, as opposed to both of our teams getting beaten. Hopefully, there will be some good news in the future.
