Everyone involved should be ashamed. The Giants could easily be 2-1 but instead are 0-3 lately because they can’t get out of their own way.
15. Detroit Lions
The Lions have been battling every snap, but had their first win snatched away by a 66-yard field goal at the gun.
14. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta has no offense, but it makes up for that by having no defense.
13. Chicago Bears
The Bears gained 47 yards on Sunday. Enough said? No? Okay, maybe it’s time to clean house and start thinking about who runs and coaches this team in 2022.
