It’s no surprise that the two most surprisingly bad teams this year have been the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. Each team with a two-time Super Bowl winning QB under center is finding themselves unable to put together wins for various reasons.

The Giants have just won their second-straight game, putting them at 2-6 going into their bye and only two games behind the Cowboys for the lead in their division.

Calm down.

To say that the 2-6 Giants still have a chance to win the NFC East speaks more to how poorly the division is playing than to how well the Giants are coming back from losing their first six games.
