What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe NFC East went winless this past week, even though two of its own teams played each other, and that has opened a door for the New York Giants.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo somebody had to win that game, and the division still came out with nothing.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGiants and Commanders finished level, so nobody won it. The Giants now have a real shot at the division, according to the New York Post.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA tie. Two grown teams played sixty minutes and agreed to split a sandwich.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlus overtime.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the half of the sandwich nobody wanted is now the Giants' ticket to first place, which is the most New York thing I've heard all week.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe division can't win, so it hands the keys to whoever is still standing. Nobody is complaining in the Meadowlands.
