15.) New York Giants (4-4)
It may have been the best game in the career of Eli Manning, but in the end it resulted in the Giants’ fourth loss of the season. Injuries on the defensive side of the ball have really hurt the Giants in recent games, as their defense has been playing poorly. Odell Beckham Jr. shined along with Manning in the win, but the Giants need to be more than a two-man show if they are going to win the NFC East.
14.) Pittsburgh Steelers (4-4)
2015 can be defined as an unlucky season for the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger made his return in Week 8 against the Bengals, but another star went down due to injury for the Steelers. Le’Veon Bell was injured on a tackle by the Bengals near the sideline and had his leg get stuck under him in a tough injury to watch. The Steelers were unable to defeat the Bengals without Bell, and their season suffered a big blow with his injury.
13.) Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
The Seahawks were able to squeak out a win on the road against the Cowboys in Week 8 by a score of 13-12. Seattle’s defense did their job against a poor Cowboys’ offense, but the Seahawks’ offense really struggled in the win. Jimmy Graham got involved in the offense with seven receptions, but it wasn’t an impressive poor performance overall by the defending NFC Champions.
