The Giants are this week's best hope for a New York football win Geoff Burke/USA Today The best shot at win No. 1 for a New York football team this weekend is against ... the Football Team. The Giants ... welcome the Washington Football Team to MetLife on Sunday, and are still [2.5-point favorites]( mostly because Washington has three quarterbacks who, put together, don't equal one. Kyle Allen will start against Daniel Jones, whose last win came against the same team with a different name. The Jets ... head to Miami as part of the new COVID-tweaked schedule to play a suddenly-competent Dolphins team, who crushed the 49ers last week and lost by only eight to Seattle the week before. Old friend Ryan Fitzpatrick will look to pull Miami to .500 on the season, while Joe Flacco will have to be better than last week to get the Jets, [underdogs by 10 points]( their first win. If you're wondering: The worst start for the Giants was 0-9 in 1976. The worst for the Jets was 0-8 in 1996. Four links to get you ready for Sunday: - [5 players the Giants could deal before the NFL trade deadline]( - [Jets running back La'Mical Perine is excited to get more opportunities]( - [Daniel Jones reminisces about the last time the Giants won]( - [7 players the Jets could deal before the NFL trade deadline]( --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Le'Veon Bell chooses the Super Bowl champs Rich Barnes/USA Today In the span of two days, Le'Veon Bell went from being on an 0-5 team to the 4-1 Super Bowl champs. Bell is [heading to the Chiefs]( he [confirmed]( via a tweet yesterday. - The 28-year-old, who was a Jet on Tuesday morning, signed a one-year deal with K.C. - He'll miss Sunday's game against Buffalo because of a mandatory five-day COVID testing period. - Before his decision, Bell had narrowed his list down to the Bills, Dolphins and Chiefs, according to reports. And, yes: Barring the unforeseen, he'll get to play the Jets during Week 8, on Nov. 1. --------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY TRIVIA How many 100-win seasons do the Mets have? 3.

GIF'd above: Cleon Jones' catch to finish Game 5, and the series, followed immediately by a stream of fans pouring onto the Shea Stadium field. The season has been romanticized so often over the last 51 years that its magnitude has perhaps been lost in translation, but the World Series title, in only the team's eighth season, was miraculous. Here are the Mets' win totals in their first seven seasons: - 40, 51, 53, 50, 66, 61, 73. That number jumped 27 wins to 100 in 1969.
