NFL Top 5: No. 1 Patriots, No. 2 Cowboys, No. 3 Steelers, No. 4 Chiefs, No. 5 Falcons
Comments: "Well, that blew. No, not Big Blue. The Thursday night game. Tell you what, if the Giants are going to do anything, anything in the postseason, they are going to have to establish some semblance of a ground game. Eli Manning dropped back enough times, his Fitbit overheated -- 63 attempts. Interestingly enough, the 2011 Super Bowl team couldn't run a lick, either. But, but, but the air attack was precisely that, an attack, ranked fifth in the league with Manning as hot as they come. Now, he is anything but." —Elliot Harrison
NYG: 9
Movement: Down 3
NFC East: No. 2 Cowboys, No. 9 Giants, No. 17 Redskins, No. 26 Eagles
NFL Top 5: No. 1 Patriots, No. 2 Cowboys, No. 3 Falcons, No. 4 Steelers, No. 5 Chiefs
Comments: "That was not a good showing against the Eagles. They can't go into the postseason with two straight losses. This week's game is big." – Pete Prisco
NYG: 9
Movement: Down 1
NFC East: No. 2 Cowboys, No. 9 Giants, No. 13 Redskins, No. 24 Eagles
NFL Top 5: No. 1 Patriots, No. 2 Cowboys, No. 3 Falcons, No. 4 Steelers, No. 5 Chiefs
Comments: "The Giants had an outside chance of catching the Cowboys in the NFC East with a win over the Eagles last week, but that went out the window with the loss. Still, the Giants are in the playoffs, but losing to Philadelphia in Week 16 isn't something you want to be doing two weeks before the postseason starts." – Cameron DaSilva
NYG: 9
Movement: Down 5
NFC East: No. 2 Cowboys, No. 9 Giants, No. 13 Redskins, No. 20 Eagles
NFL Top 5: No. 1 Patriots, No. 2 Cowboys, No. 3 Steelers, No. 4 Chiefs, No. 5 Raiders
Comments: "The Giants will have nothing at stake in terms of their postseason seed when they play the Redskins on Sunday at FedEx Field. But if they do opt to put QB Eli Manning, WR Odell Beckham Jr. and the other offensive starters on the field for at least a little bit, it might serve them well if they could get something positive going on that side of the football heading into the playoffs." – Mark Maske
NYG: 9
Movement: Down 1
NFC East: No. 1 Cowboys, No. 9 Giants, No. 13 Redskins, No. 23 Eagles
NFL Top 5: No. 1 Cowboys, No. 2 Patriots, No. 3 Chiefs, No. 4 Raiders, No. 5 Steelers
Comments: "The Giants haven't scored 20 points in four straight games, and they've committed eight turnovers in that stretch. The defense has allowed the third-fewest points this season, but the offense has to get going for the Giants to make a playoff run. They play at Washington in Week 17." – ESPN Staff
NYG: 8
Movement: None
NFC East: No. 1 Cowboys, No. 8 Giants, No. 14 Redskins, No. 24 Eagles
NFL Top 5: No. 1 Cowboys, No. 2 Patriots, No. 3 Chiefs, No. 4 Falcons, No. 5 Steelers
Comments: "Since Week 1, the only true road game the Giants have won was against the Browns. Seems relevant, as everyone is talking themselves into the Giants making the Super Bowl based on things that happened in 2007 and 2011." –Frank Schwab
