The Giants went toe to toe with Minnesota for four quarters, but in the end the Vikings got the last opportunity to score and Greg Joseph hit a 61 yard field goal as time expired final was 27 24. That denies the Giants from clinching a playoff spot on Saturday. So they're still in pretty good shape. They'll play Indianapolis on January 1st. That game is very winnable. It's what else happened around the Giants on Saturday that made them feel good because all the teams that are chasing them in the NFC playoff race took losses, starting with Seattle, the Seahawks lost on the road at Kansas City 24 to ten.

Interestingly, Monday Friday was dominating through much of 21 and 22. But in the last few months, Thursday, Friday started to pick up. Why I don't know, but somehow now Thursdays are the new Monday. That's professor Nick bloom of Stanford University and expert in remote work patterns. He says even if Thursday has become the new Monday, it's still four days in a row at home, and that remote working is here to stay. There is a permanent new world. This is in many ways only the beginning. We see the technology supporting working from home continues to improve better video links, better software better hardware
