Who and what disgruntled New York football fans can sink their teeth into on Wild Card Weekend

Fans of the two metro-area NFL teams by now should be used to watching the playoffs without their favorites involved or any personal rooting interest.

The Jets have missed out on the postseason for an astonishing 14 years in a row since their last appearance in 2010, while the Giants have done only slightly better in the past decade-plus, with a 1-2 record in the two years they’ve qualified for the playoffs (2016, 2022) over the 13 seasons since their most recent Super Bowl victory in February 2012.
