The Giants, meanwhile, ended the season with a 6-10 record.

In the end, this was how the NFC East had to be won, with the Eagles coach not really trying to win the game and Washington barely prevailing anyway.

His fate was sealed somewhere during a season-opening, 13-game losing streak – the kind of stretch no head coach could possibly survive. But the Jets waited until Sunday, shortly after their miserable season ended, to make it official. Adam Gase is out of a job.

Adam Gase’s legacy in New York will not be a good one.

New Orleans Saints RB Ty Montgomery rose to the occasion when his team needed him most, running for 105 yards against the Carolina Panthers.

We’ve heard a lot of Bears QB takes, but this is a new one.
