NFL power rankings round-up 2024: How do Giants fare entering Week 9?
The New York Giants fell to 2-6 on Monday night when they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-18 at Acrisure Stadium. In a game where the officials were inconsistent at best, the Giants could not overcome the frustration that came with the flags (and non-flags). It's boiled over now, the locker room is airing its frustrations and Brian Daboll doesn't have the player support he used to have.
This week, the Giants face a division rival in the Washington Commanders. The Commanders are surging behind rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and currently have a solid hold on the top spot in the NFC East. The Commanders defeated the Giants in their first meeting, and unless something significant changes this week, it's likely the Commanders win again.
As we enter Week 9, here's a look at where the Giants place in a multitude of power rankings.

The Giants' first-round pick missed a couple of games with a concussion and still leads the team with 498 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He has been so good in such a limited sample size that there is little doubt he's a true No. 1 receiver. It's on full display on a daily basis, even at practice. Just last week, in his first rep of one-on-one drills, Nabers made a sensational catch after he jumped over the back of Deonte Banks and secured the ball through the cornerback's body. This is normal for Nabers. He has proved he's going to be special.
