What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe promised you this one: did anyone actually impress on Sunday, or did the Giants and Jets just survive? The New York Post says survive.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth teams won their games, and neither looked good doing it.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Post says the results were different from what both fan bases have become accustomed to.

  4. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo two wins, and nobody's allowed to enjoy them. It's like a sunny Sunday with a hosepipe ban.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFans in New York are used to losing in style. This time they won in a way that felt like a clerical error.

  6. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA clerical error. I've had forecasts like that. Said rain, got sun, and I still got shouted at.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBoth teams will take it. A win that looks ugly still counts the same in the standings.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHang on, was there a number? Points, yards, anything?

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot in the piece, Brock. Just the vibe, and the vibe is relief.

  10. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRelief. I'd put that at a light breeze with a chance of nerves.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a forecast I can work with. Rex has the full scoreboard, and he's been waiting all weekend to be insufferable about it.
