Saquon Barkley and Sam Darnold were the driving forces on two NFL playoff teams, while Daniel Jones just joined the active roster for the Minnesota Vikings.
Since Super Bowl XLVI, when the Giants defeated the Patriots the second time, Big Blue has gone 79-132, a .374 win percentage, in the regular season.

Going into Sunday’s slate of games, the New York Giants held the No. 1 pick with New England at No. 2 after its embarassing loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
