Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Nabers said that he would welcome “a simple conversation” with Olsen, who played 14 years in the NFL, if the former tight end wants to reach out.
Two days after he suffered a hip pointer (deep bone bruise) that caused him to crumple to the ground throwing a warmup pass, miss a 14-play offensive series while getting treated in the locker room and limp through the final 16 minutes of a win against the Eagles, Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy skipped over all the “Will he or won’t he play?” drama and was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice.
The Giants were steadfast about not subtracting from their limited draft capital for a rental, though there is an argument to be made that surrendering a fifth- or sixth-round pick for a defensive tackle who could help the NFL’s No. 28-ranked rushing defense would have sent a message of belief in the team to the locker room and fan base.
The Giants will have one full practice Tuesday.
Winston’s game-saving cameo was important because the Giants were completely unable to run the ball without the injured duo of Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Will that prompt John Harbaugh and Joe Schoen to meet the Colts’ asking price of a first-round pick (or the multi-pick equivalent) for Jonathan Taylor before Tuesday?
“I got hit on one of the touchdowns and didn’t know that Jalen [Nailor] scored, but I could hear our Raiders fans,” Cousins added.
Under different circumstances, the career-best performances by Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell could be celebrated as the Jets developing playmakers to complement Garrett Wilson.
Tanking would make sense — if the Colts hadn’t previously traded their first-round pick to the Jets.
If John Harbaugh were picking between two Michigan-bred quarterbacks this week, the Giants would start J.J. McCarthy over Tom Brady.
Edmunds will go from logging every defensive snap in the first six games to missing every snap in the final 11, The Post confirmed, after he was injured late in last week’s game against the Saints.
