12.) Buffalo Bills (2-2)

The Bills were without LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins in Week 4, and it clearly affected their offensive production. Tyrod Taylor and Karlos Williams were unable to carry the load, as the Giants’ rushing defense was impressive. Rex Ryan’s defense didn’t impress against the Giants’ offense, as they allowed 24 points and also committed a ton of penalties.

11.) Minnesota Vikings (2-2)

The Vikings had a tough game on the road against the Broncos but showed that they can compete with one of the better teams in the AFC. Adrian Peterson was able to total 81 rushing yards and on rushing touchdown, but 51 of those yards came on one run, as he was shut down for a majority of the game. Teddy Bridgewater played well in the loss, but the Vikings don’t appear to be ready to take the next step as a team.

10.) New York Giants (2-2)

The Giants are quickly becoming one of the best-looking teams in the NFC after blowing two wins to start the season. Eli Manning has the Giants offense playing well without Victor Cruz, as Rueben Randle has stepped up the last two weeks. Coming into the season, the Giants’ defense was supposed to be very poor, but so far it has been a strength. The Giants shockingly have one of the best run defenses in the league, and that will help them sustain their success.
