I am rooting for Baltimore, who have a rather good chance to win thirty more games than last year and have a winning record. They hung on after coming back to salvage a game versus the Blue Jays. And, got a triple play too. The Braves can't lose, so luckily the Mets went ahead late to sweep the Pirates to keep a game lead. Yanks offense (now up 12-6) crushed the Brewers. So, that is a taste of baseball.
The Jets and Giants (again on the same time, 1PM, as it often seems to be when you'd think they would want to split them more) were close to the Browns and Panthers for much of the game. The Giants hung on late after kicking a long field goal to win 19-16. Their defense and just enough offense is winning them games so far. The Jets appeared to be gone after the Browns got a first down late. More so (though they really should have not did it since the Jets had no time outs) with a score with under two minutes.
I checked the Giants game after a stupid penalty and then a first down seemed to mean the game was over. But, that score and missing a XP showed the Browns had more stupidity in the end. Jets somehow quickly scored, got an onside kick back (is that even allowed these days?), and scored once more. Up by one, we just had a "well the Bills blew it with less time left" situation. And, Browns was a good throw or two away from having a shot. Interception. Game. Jets/Giants/Mets even were all on basic channels (2/5/11).
ETA: New York continued to do well on Monday. Bills with another laugher. And, Mets welcome back Scherzer, who pitched six perfect, and got his 200th win.
Megill came back and gave up a hit, but he did okay. Mets also clinched at least the Wild Card with their defeat of the Brewers, one of the two teams (they have a Braves series left) with winning records they have to play the rest of the way.
