Below you will find a Week 5 roundup for the Giants in our consensus 2020 NFL Power Rankings.
The Athletic -- Rank: 31
They have gone 20 straight drives without a touchdown, and the offense ranks last in efficiency. So far, the Jason Garrett experiment has been a complete disaster. Daniel Jones drove New York down to the Rams' 18 with under a minute left and a chance to tie it, but he missed on a throw to Ratley and was intercepted. The Giants remain winless, and their minus-49 point differential is the worst in the NFC.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 31
The defense showed up against the Rams, but they don't score enough. When does the first victory happen?
USA Today -- Rank: 31
Did you see that play when QB Daniel Jones dropped back to pass against the Rams ... and it appeared none of his receivers ran a route? Said another way, the Giants have three TDs this season ... and Odell Beckham Jr. has four.
ESPN -- Rank: 31
FPI chance to make playoffs: 1.3%
It should be zero. The Giants might be getting -- incrementally -- better, but they're still a long way from being able to make the postseason. They still haven't proved capable of winning a game, and they have to play the remainder of the season without their best player, Saquon Barkley. While the Giants might have enough playmakers to eventually score 20 points in a game (something they haven't done yet this season), it isn't going to be enough to produce consistent offense. Without consistent offense, you can't produce consistent wins and make a run at the postseason. -- Jordan Raanan

NFL.com -- Rank: 31
You've reached the East Rutherford Doom Zone (ERDZ) of the Power Rankings. The Giants fell to the Rams, 17-9, on Sunday in game that was, yes, dreadfully boring, but also featured some encouraging developments that Joe Judge will attempt to build off. The Saquon Barkley-free running game showed signs of life, and the offensive line did great work by not allowing Aaron Donald to wreck the game plan. The defense had its best week, as well, limiting a powerful Rams' offense to its lowest point total of the season while allowing less than 250 yards. A red-zone interception by Daniel Jones aborted New York's late comeback attempt, but the Giants were competitive against a quality team. This counts as progress.
