Jets' Offensive Struggles: The New York Jets' offense, particularly their passing game, is a major concern, with negative net passing yards and a struggling quarterback situation.
Giants' Upset Victory: The New York Giants secured a surprising win against the Philadelphia Eagles, largely due to strong performances from QB Jack Dart and RB Cam S______.
Eagles' Offensive Inconsistencies: The Philadelphia Eagles' offense is showing signs of struggle and predictability, with questions arising about their play-calling and execution.
