NFL Power Rankings, Week 5: Chiefs, Patriots win thrillers to remain perfect

19. New York Giants (19)
Don’t look now, but the New York Giants seem to be heating up to make things a little more interesting in the NFC after earning a second win in a row during Week 4, this time against the Washington Redskins.
Once again, Daniel Jones continues to show a ton of potential for the Giants on offense, and even though some fans weren’t all too happy back in April when the team used a first-round pick on the Duke product, New York seems to have made the right choice.
Even if Jones still has a long way to go when it comes to proving himself worthy since it’s only been two games, it was difficult to imagine this kind of success a few weeks ago when all hope seemed lost for the Giants.
Not to mention, New York was also forced to make the unfortunate adjustment on offense with Saquon Barkley expected to miss some time due to an ankle injury.
Time will tell when it comes to seeing if the magic can continue for the Giants, but just the fact that New York is back at .500 heading into October is huge before their upcoming meeting with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5.
