NFL power rankings, Week 8: Vikings fall, Lions rise

Previous: . New York Giants. 14. team. 31. After going down 10-0 in the first quarter across the pond, the Giants stormed back to score 17 unanswered points to beat the Rams. Four interceptions and three sacks by the defense was the difference throughout, as were the lack of penalties. Though Eli Manning and the offense did not control the clock or have as many first downs, they made due with what they had. A lack of rushing continues to plague New York, and they will certainly address that in the upcoming draft. At the same time, when you have Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard, the run game is not as necessary. <p>Next Week: New York has a bye week following their overseas win in London, followed by an NFC East duel with the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be the first meeting between the Giants and rookie Carson Wentz, setting up for a great set of storylines. In the meantime, the Giants can recoup and look to get themselves healthy.</p> <p>Playoff Hopes: Everyone is still alive in the NFC East, even the three win Giants. With Dallas and Philadelphia playing next week for first place bragging rights, the Giants can sit back and watch their opponents break each other down.</p>. 4-3
