Week 17 NFL Power Rankings: The Broncos Are Starting To Slide

Peyton Manning

23. New York Giants (LW: 25)

Really, who is surprised? The Giants do this every year. If they get off to a hot start, they cool by season’s end. If they start the season 0-6, they finish 7-9. This year, with a seven-game losing streak to drop them to 3-9, they promptly win three games in a row to pull to within one of another 7-9 campaign. They still aren’t a good football, team, but they are nowhere near the basement where they lived for much of the year.  With one more win, they will avoid a double-digit loss season for the tenth consecutive season.
