Did you feel that agita for three-plus hours Sunday afternoon?
In case you forgot, welcome to December football that matters.
Around these parts, it had become an unfamiliar feeling in recent years, but it returned in full force on Sunday for both the Jets and Giants. Neither team or fan base ended up fully satisfied, but buckle up, because there’s plenty more of it on the way. It’s not easy and it will hardly ever be pretty, but it’s not supposed to be at this point on the calendar.
For the Jets, it was a game filled with missed opportunities — often in the red zone (1-for-6), which cost them a chance to knock off the now 10-2 Vikings and bolster their playoff standing. They trailed 20-3 and settled for five field goals on the day before finally entering the end zone with 6:45 left in the third quarter on Mike White’s fourth-down, second-effort QB sneak to pull within 27-22.
