24. New York Giants (LW: 22)
The Giants opened the 2014 season in similar fashion as last year — struggling early through inept play. Quickly, however, the Giants appeared to have turned their misfortune around, running off three straight wins and pulling above .500. It is becoming clear, as the weeks pass, that the real Giants are the mistake-prone squad from New York — New Jersey, really — and not the suddenly resurgent team that beat the Texans, Redskins, and Falcons in consecutive weeks.
