There is no doubt about it now: The Giants are the worst team in the NFL.
Not only have the Giants lost a franchise record 10 straight games … not only did they get annihilated by the same Falcons who one week earlier needed to go the distance to edge the hapless Raiders … but they also are the last remaining team with fewer than three wins.
The debate is only slightly more complicated at the top. Because, just like the Giants are alone in having two wins, the Chiefs are alone in having 14 wins.
Make your cases for the Bills, Lions or Vikings, but there is no denying that the two-time defending Super Bowl champions still know how to get the job done.
With the top and bottom spots settled, here are The Post’s NFL power rankings for Week 17:
What sprained ankle? An injured Patrick Mahomes didn’t miss any time despite the quick turnaround between games, throwing for one touchdown and running for another in a 27-19 win against the Texans. Marquise Brown had five catches for 45 yards in his season debut. The Chiefs are one win (or one Bills loss) away from clinching the AFC’s No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
A rare quiet game by Josh Allen was survivable because James Cook rushed for 100 yards and scored two touchdowns, and the defense forced three second-half takeaways in a 24-21 win against the Patriots. Taron Johnson recovered a fumble in the end zone for a fourth-quarter touchdown as the Bills scored 24 straight points after falling behind 14-0.
The injury-ravaged Lions had no problem getting past the Bears, 34-17, as Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes. Jameson Williams notched a career-high 143 receiving yards, including an 82-yard touchdown, and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 109 yards and a touchdown without his backfield mate David Montgomery. The Lions set single-season franchise records for wins, road wins (seven) and points scored (493).
Justin Jefferson caught a touchdown pass with less than four minutes remaining to make the difference in a 27-24 comeback victory against the Seahawks, who had taken the lead only 30 seconds earlier. Jefferson finished with 10 catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Kevin O’Connell is the first coach in franchise history with multiple 13-win seasons — only three years into his tenure.
Saquon Barkley might win NFL MVP honors, but it was clear how valuable Jalen Hurts is during a 36-33 loss to the Commanders. As Hurts missed most of the game with a concussion, Kenny Pickett threw a touchdown and an interception. Barkley ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns. DeVonta Smith had a devastating drop that gave life to the Commanders’ late comeback.
