The Giants have full control of the NFC East right now.
The New York Giants will be entering the upcoming week with a record of 5-2-1, following a big win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
New York didn't play the cleanest football, but at this point in the season, a win is a win. The Giants were able to take down Philadelphia behind a strong defensive showing, with the unit picking up the slack for a struggling offense.
This coming week, New York has a short time to prepare for its next game, as the team will be hosting the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. This will be another chance for the Giants to put some distance between themselves and the other NFC East teams.
After the upcoming week against the Commanders, New York will be taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 11. But the start time for the game has been changed, with the contest now taking place at 1:25 p.m. PT/4:25 p.m. ET.

The NFL decided to flex the game, switching it with the contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles. Given how the season has gone for these four teams, this makes sense to put New York into more of a primetime slot for the week.
Taking on the Jaguars, even at home, will be no easy feat for the Giants, with Jacksonville being a top team in the AFC. Some around the league see the Jaguars as one of the more complete teams in the NFL, with both sides of the ball being strong.
Jacksonville will be a nice test for the Giants, giving New York a chance to see how they match up with a top AFC squad. If the Giants are going to try to have a deep playoff run this season, they will have to beat teams like the Jaguars along the way.
Head coach John Harbaugh knows the Jaguars well from his time coaching in the AFC, and he will have his guys ready to go. Jacksonville will give the Giants some fits on both sides of the ball, but New York does have the talent to hang with them in the game.
But for now, the Giants will be focused on taking down the Commanders this week, looking to add another win to their record. New York has full control of the NFC East right now, and the last thing that this team wants to do is slip up to lose ground.,
