NFL Power Rankings, Week 12: Ravens pound Texans, Raiders stay in hunt
By Randy Gurzi
30. New York Giants (30)
The biggest win this season for the New York Giants came off the field when Daniel Jones trademarked the nickname ‘Danny Dimes’. At first, he didn’t seem to love the nickname but it seemingly grew on him. Well, that or it wouldn’t die so he figured he should just try and profit off it.
However, the name doesn’t seem to fit as much anymore. As good as Jones looked during his first two starts for the Giants, he’s been nearly that bad in the six that followed. Last week was another tough one as the G-Men lost in their road game they played at home against the New York Jets.
Facing a one-win franchise, the Giants fell 34-27. Jones had an impressive stat line when it comes to throwing the ball — 308 yards and four touchdowns with no picks. But, he once again struggled to secure the ball as he fumbled it three times while being sacked six times.
Now at 2-8, the Giants are on a bye week and it’s very much needed. They can take some time to regroup and try to get on the right page. There’s no way they can salvage this season but they can try and find something positive to build on going into next year.
