2017 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Enter Offseason Near Bottom
By Dan Parzych
9. New York Giants
After seeing how successful they were during the regular season, it was a major disappointment to see the New York Giants fall apart in the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers. But of course they deserve some benefit of the doubt since were playing a Packers team led by Aaron Rodgers that was playing out of their minds at the time.
On the bright side, at least the Giants found success during Ben McAdoo‘s first year as head coach after previous recording three-straight seasons of losing records. Last year, one of New York’s biggest struggles was their inability to closeout games in the fourth quarter, but thanks to an improved defense, that was no longer an issue for McAdoo’s squad.
The Dallas Cowboys may have finished with the best record in the NFC during the regular season, but the Giants may have the best shot to give them a run for their money when it comes to the division title. Let’s not forget it was New York that defeated Dallas in both meetings during the regular season in 2016, and there’s nothing they would love more than to take the NFC East title from their rivals as well next year.
