Notre Dame absolutely crushed Navy, 51-14, in the teams’ latest meeting at MetLife Stadium. The win was impressive enough that the Irish moved up to No. 8 in the latest AP Top 25 poll. Those two things on their own would make for an impressive weekend for any team.
How and where this game unfolded painted a sad picture for the New York Giants and New York Jets, the two NFL tenants at MetLife Stadium. Both teams are either at or tied for the bottom of their respective divisions, and it shows in the fact that neither team has given their fans much to cheer about at home this season.
By scoring seven touchdowns in defeating the Midshipmen, the Irish surpassed the combined total of touchdowns the Giants and Jets have scored at MetLife Stadium so far this season by one. With both teams on the road this week, that stat will hold going into November:
Notre Dame has scored more touchdowns in MetLife Stadium this year than the New York Jets & Giants combined…

Needless to say, times are tough for NFL fans in New York. That’s not the Irish’s problem though.
