Giants now all alone in NFC East basement

The New York Giants are now all alone in the NFC East basement following consecutive loss No. 8 in Week 13.

The New York Giants extended their losing streak to eight consecutive games with a 31-13 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, which puts them within striking distance of setting an all-time franchise record for futility.

But the Giants weren’t the only NFC East team to struggle over the Thanksgiving weekend, as the division’s lack of talent was on full display.

Here’s a quick look at how things stack up after 13 weeks of football:

Dallas Cowboys (6-6)

If the NFC East weren’t as pathetic as it is right now, Jerry Jones would have fired Jason Garrett weeks ago. The Cowboys have now lost three of their last four games, including back-to-back losses to the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills, and will now have to contend with the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. A loss there would put the entire division below .500.

Philadelphia Eagles (5-7)

Anyone who genuinely believed the Eagles would turn things around and become legitimate contenders again must be feeling foolish today. Not only has Philly now lost three straight, but they’re dealing with the humiliation of being upended by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday — a game that featured a touchdown pass from the punter to the kicker.

Washington Redskins (3-9)

The only NFC East team to win on Sunday, the Redskins have now reeled off two straight and escaped the division’s basement. In the process however, they have damaged their draft positioning and set themselves up for two more difficult games in 2020. But they are not yet officially eliminated from the playoffs, so with Dallas and Philly floundering, why not go for it?

New York Giants (2-10)

Hello darkness, my old friend. I’ve come to talk with you again… The Giants are back in the basement of the NFC East and are just one game removed from having the worst record in all of football. They are mired in a historic losing streak, have not won a game in over two months and are finally beginning to show signs of locker room fracture. On the plus side, they’re one step closer to Chase Young.
