Giants Seek 5-0 Start Monday Night; Pats Take On Chargers Sunday Night In AFC Championship Rematch

Two spotless streaks. One unbreakable -- at least for this week.

That’s the story for the NFL’s last two unbeaten teams – the 5-0 Tennessee Titans and 4-0 New York Giants.

The Titans have a bye this week. The Giants conclude the week on Monday night aiming to become the seventh defending Super Bowl champion to open the season with a 5-0 record.

Things indeed seem grand for these two teams, but a good three-quarters of the season remains -- with surprises to come for sure.

“You can get humbled quickly in the NFL,” says Titans safety MICHAEL GRIFFIN. “You can start 5-0 and still go 5-11.”

Things definitely can turn quickly in the NFL, and past seasons prove it. Since 2000, for instance, 43 teams had winning records entering Week 6 with at least a quarter of their games played -- and still missed the playoffs. On the other hand, 12 clubs had losing records at this point in the season and advanced to the playoffs, including the 2001 New England Patriots (2-3) who would go on to win Super Bowl XXXVI, and last season’s San Diego Chargers (2-3), who played in the AFC Championship Game.

“We’re going to continue to fight,” says running back BRIAN WESTBROOK of the 2-3 Philadelphia Eagles. “We’re not going to quit.”

They fail to mention that both teams that played the AFC Championship game last year just got their asses kicked by The Dolphins.

no one believes in the Fins yet;) Are the Pats / Chargers that bad? The answer is NO they are not, the boys in Miami have nothing to lose & are playing some good ball right now.:cool:

If we win this week we still wont get any props for beating a 0-4 team. The only way The Dolphins will get and respect this year would be a post season game.

Running around like a madman at work, squeezing Phillies playoff and Eagles games into the schedule while trying to completely redo the house before little hooch #2 arrives in February... as I fight this walking pnuemonia I can't seem to shake.

Waaaaaaaah! Pass the estrogen.

oh... and working on this site.
