‘Things I think’ before Giants-Saints kickoff: Giants have an opportunity

The New York Giants are poised to capitalize on a rare opportunity in the NFC East, where divisional chaos has left the door wide open. The Philadelphia Eagles, once the league’s most consistent contenders, are in disarray after a 2-3 start and a three-game losing streak, with quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined indefinitely due to a calf blood clot.

Key offensive weapons Saquon Barkley and DaVonta Smith are also out with injuries, while the Eagles’ offensive line has been decimated by Lane Johnson’s retirement and the trade of Cam Jurgens. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys—despite early preseason optimism—have stumbled to a 2-3 record, with defensive struggles and coaching questions mounting after a controversial loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders, meanwhile, are in full crisis mode at 0-3, facing a potential season-ending Monday Night Football trip to the 5-0 San Francisco 49ers next week. The Giants, led by head coach John Harbaugh, have seized the moment with disciplined execution and a belief in their ability to sustain improvement, contrasting sharply with the division’s other teams’ turmoil.
