2023 NFL Power Rankings: New York Giants

Biggest remaining game: Week 12 vs. New England

It's all about getting in the top two of the NFL draft for the chance to pick one of the top quarterbacks, Caleb Williams or Drake Maye. Right? At least that's all that we hear and likely all that is left in the season. These are two teams in the running for a top pick. The outcome of the contest could go a long way to determining the future of both storied but struggling organizations. -- Jordan Raanan

They have seven more games, plus the bye week, to get through the season, and they're pretty much backed into starting Tommy DeVito this week at the Commanders -- and maybe beyond. Sunday's pasting by the Cowboys came with the added sting of sideline bickering involving multiple offensive players, including Saquon Barkley. This is going to be Brian Daboll's toughest challenge as the Giants coach so far, harder even than turning them into a contender and winning a playoff game last season. Washington and New England are two favorable opponents right now, all things considered, and the bye could help release more tension. But at the moment, after Xavier McKinney openly questioned the defensive coaches, it feels like stronger storms could hit at any time.

Will they win another game? Should they? They could land one of the top-2 quarterbacks if they don't. That would be smart.

The league's worst offense. HC Brian Daboll getting awfully salty in the bench area. Rookie QB Tommy DeVito looking like he belongs in the USFL. Otherwise, little to worry about.

Coach status: Safe

Brian Daboll's 2022 coach of the year award gives him some cushion, but that cushion is slowly being eaten away by losses like Sunday's. The Cowboys outgained the Giants by 468 yards, the largest yardage differential in the league in the last 44 years. Daboll can't be expected to do much down the stretch with Tommy DeVito as the starting quarterback — he had 86 passing yards Sunday — but maybe that's the point. The Giants are very much in the running for a draft pick that could get them one of the top two college quarterbacks available.

We knew what was going to happen to the Giants in Texas, but that didn't make it any easier to watch. The Giants are in the tough spot of being a bad team with no one to evaluate. Daniel Jones isn't coming back this year, Tommy DeVito isn't the answer. All that's left is to wait and see how good their draft pick will be.

Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito had 44 yards passing before New York had a meaningless final drive in a blowout loss. Meanwhile, the Giants allowed more than 600 yards to Dallas. It was not pro football. The Giants have plenty of injury issues but other teams do too and they don't look this terrible.

Tommy DeVito might have to go back to shining shoes.
