Antrel Rolle: Giants the best in NFL

Antrel Rolle is so confident in what’s going on with the alone-in-first-place Giants that Tuesday on his weekly WFAN radio spot he said, “I don’t think, I know it, we are the best team in the NFC. Hey, we are the best team in the NFL and that’s hands down.’’

Funny how four-game winning streaks prompt players to make such proclamations. Rolle wasn’t operating on much sleep after the return flight home from Dallas after Monday night’s wild 41-35 victory over the Cowboys but he certainly sounded clear-headed as he lauded his own team and did not back away from making strong and bold statements.

“Our defense is the best defense in the business, no doubt about it,’’ Rolle added.

Time will tell if Rolle is accurate in his assessments, but there’s no doubt the Giants are on a roll entering their bye week. At 5-2, they are a game ahead of the Eagles and Redskins (both 4-3) in the NFC East and buried the Cowboys (1-5) not only by beating them but also beating them up, putting Tony Romo out at least 6-8 weeks with a fractured left collarbone.

As a reward for the Giants' turnaround from a 1-2 start, Tom Coughlin is taking it easy on his team this week. Players are off Tuesday, come in for meetings Wednesday, then are off by the afternoon for the remainder of the week until a workout next Monday.
