The New York Giants are a punchline in the NFL, and even Bill Belichick isn’t immune to the jokes. As they wallow at 2-5 after a humiliating 28-3 loss to the Eagles, the team is 8-16 since their brief playoff run in 2022.

Riley has a 22-12 record at USC, but he’s facing mounting pressure after dropping leads and failing to close games. “We’ve had some unfortunate breaks, but we need to be better,” he said ahead of a crucial matchup against Rutgers.

This marks the seventh time in eight seasons they’ve started with such a record, and they’ve never topped six wins during this stretch. However, recent seasons show that rocky beginnings can be flipped. The Giants need to make a strong push, likely winning eight of their final ten games to have a real shot at the playoffs. There’s hope in history: since 1990, ten teams starting at 2-5 have reached the playoffs, with five achieving this…
