The Giants are atop the NFC East thanks to their best offensive and defensive players, beating the Cowboys 37-34. Eli led them back from a 12-point deficit with under six minutes left in the fourth quarter and Jason Pierre-Paul blocked the Cowboys last-second field goal attempt. New York is now in control of their playoff destiny. more ›

The Giants did a lot of things well in their 38-35 loss to Green Bay, but ultimately the defense let them down again. New York trailed 35-27 with just over three minutes remaining in the game before launching a nine-play drive to tie the game. Hakeem Nicks caught his second touchdown of the game to make it 35-33 and D.J. Ware punched the two-point conversion into the end zone to tie things up. But, New York left 58 seconds on the clock and that proved to be way too much time. more ›

Despite their high hopes and even higher opinions of themselves, the Jets will not play in their first Super Bowl since the 1968 season. Rex Ryan's talkative bunch blew a 17-6 lead against Peyton Manning and squandered a chance at the Super Bowl. Things looked bright in the second quarter after Mark Sanchez found Dustin Keller for a nine-yard touchdown and the 11-point lead. But the Jets, who lost Shonn Greene to a rib injury in the third quarter never scored again. Manning led a four-play, 80-yard drive to cut the lead to four entering the half and the wheels began to fall off. more ›

• Jets 17, San Diego 14: You gotta believe was the rallying cry of a different team, but it seems appropriate now that the Jets borrow it. Down 7-3 in the fourth quarter, New York drove for two-straight touchdowns to take a 17-7 lead and held on for the victory. The first touchdown came in the form of a two-yard reception by Dustin Keller, but Shonn Greene had the big play. Greene busted a 53-yard carry for a TD and put the Jets up by 10. New York survived a late Chargers’ rally, but held San Diego off after a third missed field goal by Nate Kaeding. Now they're headed to the AFC Championship in Indianapolis in a rematch of the game that ended the Colts' unbeaten streak.
• Rangers 6, Canadiens 2: The Rangers fell behind 2-0 after one period, but managed to score three goals in the 2nd and 3rd periods for the win.

This is the game to stop the doubters. If the Jets can go into San Diego and take down the Chargers in Sunday's AFC divisional playof they have to be acknowledged as a true force. Right now, they're only a cute story. Sure, they have beaten the Colts when they lay down, and they have punished Cincinnati two straight weeks. But now they draw the Chargers, who have won 11 straight games and have the best passing attack in football. more ›

• Jets 24, Bengals 14: An early touchdown deficit and a road atmosphere didn't stop Mark Sanchez and the Jets in their wild-card playoff win against the Bengals. Shonn Greene and Thomas Jones had rushing touchdowns and Sanchez found Dustin Keller for a long passing score to set up a date in Indianapolis or San Diego next weekend. Darrelle Revis did his job on Chad Ochocinco -- except for a few dubious penalties -- and the Jets defense took advantage of an erratic Carson Palmer. Two missed Bengals field goals also helped. But head coach Rex Ryan said his team should be the favorite for the duration of the playoffs, and the Jets looked like the better team on Sunday.

Day two of the 2009 NFL Draft continued much as day one did for the Jets and the Giants. The Jets continued their trading ways by getting the first pick of day two from the Lions and selecting running back Shonn Greene from Iowa. In return for moving up 11 picks, the Jets sent the Lions their original 3rd round pick (76th overall), as well as their 4th (115) and 7th round (228) pick. Greene is a between the tackles type back who, like Mark Sanchez (he made his own "trade" on Sunday for the #6 jersey), is leaving after finishing his junior year. Greene leaves Iowa after an first-team All-American season with school records of 1,850 yards and 20 TDs in a single season. With their 6th round pick (and final pick in 2009), the Jets selected Matthew Slauson, an offensive guard from Nebraska. more ›
