One is a highly regarded, multiple Super Bowl champion team featuring well-known players like Phil Simms, Eli Manning, and Lawrence Taylor; the other has been a consistent loser for the previous thirty plus years, with its last moments of true glory being in the 1960s with the three-time MVP and now eighty-year-old Jim Brown.

Daniel Jones, a former first-round pick who signed an eye-catching four-year, $160 million contract last offseason after guiding the New York Giants to their first postseason victory since their Super Bowl-winning 2011 season, played considerably below average in an injury-plagued year.
