Week 8 Battle of New York: Jets vs. Giants 

The New York Jets and New York Giants will face off in Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season on Sunday, October 29 at 1:00 PM EST at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Both teams are coming off different results in Week 7, with the Jets entering on a bye week and the Giants coming off a 14-7 win over the Washington Commanders.

Jet’s Pick it Up in Week 7 

The Jets have had a mixed bag of results so far this season, with a record of 3-3. They started the season 0-3 but have since won three of their last four games. Their defense has been one of the best in the league, ranking third in points allowed per game (17.7). However, their offense has been inconsistent, ranking 22nd in points scored per game (20.7).

The Jets are led by second-year quarterback Zach Wilson. Wilson has shown some flashes of potential this season, but he has also been turnover-prone. He has 1,097 passing yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions.

Running back Breece Hall has been a bright spot for the Jets offense. Hall has rushed for 426 yards and three touchdowns in seven games. He is one of the most explosive running backs in the league, and he will be a key factor in the Jets’ success against the Giants.

Wide receiver Garrett Wilson has also emerged as a playmaker for the Jets. Wilson has 369 receiving yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He is a deep threat who can stretch the field for the Jets.

Giant’s are a Mixed Bag

The Giants have also had a mixed bag of results so far this season, with a record of 3-4. They started the season 2-1, but have since lost three of their last four games. Their defense has been inconsistent, ranking 19th in points allowed per game (24.9). However, their offense has shown some signs of improvement, ranking 16th in points scored per game (21.8).

The Giant’s quarterback Daniel Jones, is the leader of the offense. All in all, Jones has had a career-best season so far, with 884 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He has also rushed for 284 yards and two touchdowns.

Running back Saquon Barkley has also been a playmaker for the Giants this season. Barkley has rushed for 284 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He is one of the most dynamic running backs in the league, and he will be a key factor in the Giants’ success against the Jets.

Wide receiver Kenny Golladay has been a disappointment for the Giants this season. Golladay has only caught 18 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He has struggled with injuries and inconsistency.

New York Rivals Go Head-to-Head

The Jets and Giants have a long and storied rivalry dating back to 1969. The Jets lead the all-time series 69-53-2. However, the Giants have won the last two meetings, including a 21-14 victory in Week 10 of the 2019 season.
