Is it the AFC East, with the Patriots, Jets and Bills all at 5-3? Is it the NFC East, with the Giants, Redskins, Eagles and Cowboys, who have a combined record of 23-10? Or is it the NFC South, where the Panthers, Buccaneers, Falcons and Saints have a combined record of 21-12?
The New York (football) Giants are 4-0 and sit atop the best division in the league, the NFC East. Sure, they’ve beat up on a few bad teams (St. Louis, Seattle and Cincinnati) but they also have a 16-7 win over the Redskins, who are arguably the next best team in the NFC after beating the Cowboys in Dallas. Through four games, Eli Manning has thrown for 1,032 yards and six TD, which means he’s on pace for a 4,128-yard, 24-TD season. His QB rating (99.7) and his completion percentage (63.6) are career-bests. Along with the Tennessee Titans, the Giants are one of two undefeated teams five weeks into the season. They have a strong running game, a dangerous set of receivers, and a spunky defense.
