The New York Giants are still in sole possession of first place in the NFC East as the NFL season rolls into Week 6.
The Giants will have their unbeaten streak tested again today by a slightly-favored 1-4 New Orleans Saints squad.
Last week, the Giants moved to 3-1-1 in a wild overtime game against their divisional rival Washington Commanders that ended in a 27-27 tie.
