The New York Giants are my team of the week for week 5 of the NFL season. An uncharacteristic 4-1 for the Giants has put them in a spot that nobody expected them to be in heading into week 6 of the NFL season.
The Giants flew to London to take on the Packers without arguably their top 3 of 4 recievers. No Sterling Shepherd with a torn ACL, and no Kenny Golladay or Kadarius Toney both with injuries of their own, but they still managed to win with practice squad offensive players.
Not only did they beat a good team in the Packers, but they had a big comeback against them as well. They were down 20-10 coming into the second half and managed to win the game. Their defense came up huge as the Packers offense, lead by Aaron Rodgers, was shut out.
The Giants have battled adversity so far this season and have had a relatively easy schedule, so not many people have given them their respect yet including myself. After this week though I am very impressed with the team and how they persevered their way to a victory.
They are played on a whole different continent, most of their offense was hurt, they battled Aaron Rodgers, but they still had an incredible comeback and have proved to the NFL that they are here. The New York Giants are my Week 5 team of the week in the NFL.
