NFL history is filled with teams enjoying rapid turnarounds, as recently as the Bengals reaching the Super Bowl last season after compiling a 6-25-1 record over the previous two years.

No one should be ready to proclaim the Giants or the Jets as Super Bowl contenders at their respective stages of rebuilding, but a 7-3 combined start certainly beats the alternative of the eight victories — against 26 losses! — totaled by the two local gridiron squads in 2021.

Week 6 of the current campaign began Thursday night with the Commanders’ 12-7 decision over the Bears, and we will learn more about the potential playoff chances of the Giants and the Jets against top opponents on Sunday.

Wilson and the 3-2 Jets will be in Green Bay to face the Packers, one game after Aaron Rodgers and Co. were shut down in the second half and upset by the Giants in London.
