Jets and Giants Week
6
In Week 6
the (0-4) Pittsburgh Steelers came to East Rutherford, New Jersey to play the
(3-2) New York Jets. The Jets came into this game with great momentum after an
upset at Atlanta where the Jets pulled off a win at the end of the game due to
a quick and excellent drive by their quarterback Geno Smith along with another
great field goal by Nick Folk their kicker. Widely viewed as one of the weakest
teams in the NFL at the beginning of the season, some sportswriters and TV
commentators started to change their tones after the great start the Jets have
been off to. Unfortunately the Jets could not pull off a win at home as they
fell to the Steelers 19-6. After no interceptions against Atlanta in Week 5,
Geno Smith was intercepted twice while completing 19 of 34 passes for 201
yards. The Patriots will be coming to face the Jets in Week 7 for a big
divisional matchup where the Jets are hoping they can beat them to improve to
(4-3) and one game behind the Patriots for first place in the AFC East.
New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears: By
Raffaele Elia
The
New York Giants came into week 6, 0-5, facing the 3-2 Chicago Bears. Eli
Manning, the Giants struggling QB, came in needing to turn things around, but
on only the second pass attempt of his game, Eli was picked off, giving
possession to the Bears and QB Jay Cutler. Cutler had a good game throwing for 262
yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. On the other end, Manning had another
below average game throwing for 239 yards, 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions. The
game, however, was a very close one. In the fourth quarter the score was 27-21,
Bears in the lead. With the game on line, the Giants and Eli marched downfield
to the 12 yard line with a chance to take the lead. Sadly for all Giants fans,
however, Eli would throw another interception, and along with it, throw away
the game for the Giants who are now 0-6 for the first time since 1976.
