At about 3:38 p.m. on Sunday, Carolina’s Eddy Piñeiro nailed a field goal to tie up the Giants, 16-16, with 10:46 remaining in the game.
The Jets had just allowed Nick Chubb to rumble through the defense for a touchdown that put them in a 24-17 hole to the Browns. Jacob deGrom had just surrendered a stunning three-run home run to Oneil Cruz that tied the Mets-Pirates game in the sixth inning. The Yankees were down 4-3 to the Brewers in the fourth inning after an early implosion from Gerrit Cole.
About a half-hour later, New York Football pulled off two victories — one more stunning than the other, but both surprising considering the expectations. A few hours later, New York Baseball rolled to a pair of victories that helped maintain division leads.
If the four winning on the same day feels remarkable and rare, that’s because it is both. The last time this particular Perfect New York Storm struck was Sept. 27, 2009, when Andy Pettitte and Pat Misch pitched the Yankees and Mets, respectively, to victories, Eli Manning beat Tampa Bay’s Byron Leftwich and a rookie Mark Sanchez outdueled Tennessee’s Kerry Collins.
